If to-morrow he heard nothing he would write once more , and in a more self-respectful strain ; then back to Athens , to stand by his son 's grave . Malcolm Gladwell in this week 's New Yorker opines a very thoughtful , almost ethical piece on the practice of letting grown men crash into each other every Sunday , with nothing illegal or enhancing in their systems , vs. letting them drug-up and do the same thing . Look closely into slavery , and you will see nothing so hideous in it ; or if you do , you will find plenty of it at home in its most hideous form . There 's nothing better than home ownership in America , and this administration is dedicated to make sure more and more people from all walks of life are able to open up the door where they live and say , come on in to my house . They love nothing better than to jump into a fray . There is nothing so likely to give it as standing and stooping in a hot sun ; but I dare say it will be well to-morrow . But I thought it would rather do her good after being stooping among the roses ; for there is nothing so refreshing as a walk after a fatigue of that kind ; and though the sun was strong , it was not so very hot . But she was all on fire about the trip and nothing he could say would change her mind about leaving . It 's possible , of course , but at this point nothing exists to substantiate the event other than an overly-dramatic much-circulated account no one can verify which includes details that are clearly false . She sought solitude ; liked nothing better than to sit in her room adjoining Theresa 's dressing-room , sometimes sunk in a reverie , sometimes employed on an intricate piece of knitting with almost spasmodic activity . This is not the case with those who are not radical rebels , who abide by ( some ) rules and are not obsessed by walls : Archimedes of Syracuse and Hypatia of Alexandria may have been killed because they were too absorbed in mathematics , but they did not voluntarily surrender their lives , and they had no reason to ; and of course we have the famous example of Galileo , who chose to recant , since he knew that nothing he said or did could alter the fact that our planet moves and is not fixed at the center of the cosmos . He may get one more year , but like the column in the AJC the other day , it is just because there is nothing better out there to replace him with at this time 9scary as that is ) . It should be realised , however , that there is nothing so hard and so thankless as to elucidate one symbolism in the words of another , and this notwithstanding the identity which may be indicated as the term of each . Depend upon it , there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace .
