“Where silver webs of spiders weaveand blighted lovers take their leave;where curses lay the spirits lowand mortal footsteps fear to go.Where death holds life in grim embraceits line's etched on the sinner's face;where e'er the march of time is flauntedVoices cry- "this place is haunted.””

“The story of the political triumph of an idea that was clearly contradicted by the science has been told numerous times (e.g., references [11, 22, 23, 26, 27]) and yet the phenomenon still persists. Every time you see a low-fat item in the supermarket you are looking at an artifact of one of the most bizarre stories in the history of science.””

“Negotiation also has a different character in the high-context societies of the East than in the low-context societies of the West. Political scientist Mushakoji Kinhide characterizes the Western erabi (active, agentic) style as being grounded in the belief that “man can freely manipulate his environment for his own purposes. This view implies a behavioral sequence whereby a person sets his objective, develops a plan designed to reach that objective, and then acts to change the environment in accordance with that plan.” To a person having such a style, there’s not much point in concentrating on relationships. It’s the results that count.””
