Illinois then had no legislation providing compensation for accident or disease caused by occupation.

Every article I wrote in those days, every speech I made, is full of pleading for the recognition of lead poisoning as a real and serious medical problem.

When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.

From the first I became convinced that what I must look for was lead dust and lead fumes, that men were poisoned by breathing poisoned air, not by handling their food with unwashed hands.

There can be no intelligent control of the lead danger in industry unless it is based on the principle of keeping the air clear from dust and fumes.

It was also my experience at Hull-House that aroused my interest in industrial diseases.

Everything I discovered was new and most of it was really valuable.

I realized it for the first time in my life: there is nothing but mystery in the world, how it hides behind the fabric of our poor, browbeat days, shining brightly, and we don't even know it.

Life is all I have, it is enough!

Aphrodite: Pfft. That's not the point. Follow your heart.Percy: But... I don't know where it's going. My heart, I mean.

What? I'm not ashamed to admit that random things remind me of Harry Potter.

You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.

What's this? You're wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see? Don't be that guy.

The Sun and the science are the same; when they set down, the darkness comes!

Yoga, unlike dance or mime, is not an expression of form for others to watch.

They'd smash up the world if they thought it would make a pretty noise.

What's so exciting is to be able to just take something and polish it so much that hopefully in the future people will start borrowing things from it.
