.... his own happiness whatsoever. Really, that apathy would probably be the only way that he could emotionally accept his dangerously selfless undertakings. Case in point, his giving of Roxanne to the incredibly undeserving Christian. No real happiness in that action. Roxanne and Christian’s, maybe, but certainly not his own, and he loved Roxanne. Had Cyrano actually wanted to be happy, the pangs of grief that he would feel as he gave her away would certainly have ripped him apart. But if Cyrano convinced himself that he did not care about his own happiness, then it would at least take the edge off of those bitter emotions that sure .....

.... to converse with the younger Medicis, two of whom later became popes (Leo X and Clement VII). He also became acquainted with such humanists as Marsilio Ficino and the poet Angelo Poliziano, who were frequent visitors. Michelangelo produced at least two relief sculptures by the time he was 16 years old, the Battle of the Centaurs and the Madonna of the Stairs (both 1489-92, Casa Buonarroti, Florence), which show that he had achieved a personal style at a very early age.

He combined classical European training in Holland with a love for popular American culture. The restlessness and energy of American life was a source of great inspiration and passion for him. Gary Garrells, the chief curator at the San Fra .....

.... was a Federalist and was most famous for is "Seventh of March" speech. While slavery seemed to be the main issue of the time, the speech spoke mainly of preserving the Union.

Thomas Benton was a Senator of Missouri who had negative relations with President Jackson. Benton supported the Missouri Compromise, but opposed the National Bank and slavery. Seeing how Missouri was a slave state, Thomas recieved much ridicule. This caused Benton to lose office during the next .....

.... toy of his was his father’s compass, and he often marvelled at his uncle’s explanations of algebra. Although young Albert was intrigued by certain mysteries of science, he was considered a slow learner. His failure to become fluent in German until the age of nine even led some teachersto believe he was disabled. Einstein’s post-basic education began at the Luitpold Gymnasium when he was ten. It was here that he first encountered the German spirit through the school’s strict disciplinary policy. His disapproval of this method of teaching led to his reputation as a rebel. It was probably these differences that caused Ein .....

.... his first taste of radio. From there, Rusty began to work at several different stations, none of which were getting him anywhere.

.... an easy step from that ideology for him to adopt the phrase – Esse Est Percipi, which means, “To be is to be perceived.” There is a crippling problem that arises in this mode of thinking that can best be demonstrated by the following limerick: who said “God, must find it extremely odd to think that this tree will continue to be when there is no one about in the quad.” Dear Sir, I’m always about in the quad and that’s why this tree will continue to be since observed by Yours Faithfully, God This limerick demonstrates the devastating problem with this mode of t .....
