The sustaining fantasy of Nolan's Batman films - which does chime uncomfortably with Romney -is that the excesses of finance capital can be curbed by a combination of philanthropy, off-the-books violence and symbolism.

The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

"Evolutionary, gene transformation of the chimera of thinking The evolutionary, gene transformation of the chimera of thinking, due to the gene of ingenuity and egoism, seems to expand the universe of disunity. How the mental health of people is changing in the history of mankind can be seen in psychology, philosophy, science and culture. Anthropomorphic worldview of multiculturalism and hydras of science and pop culture that raise mestizos of globalism of various mentalities.

Chimeras become possibilities only after the breaking and shattering of old chains. Look at how they tear into ominous clouds without fear; witness how their freedom wings take them anywhere they want to go. @reenadossauthor

Can hearts recover when their chimeras fall? @reenadossauthor

Hope belongs to dreamers who believe in the future reality of chimeras rising. @reenadossauthor

Rising chimeras are nothing more than candles melting fearful hearts. @reenadossauthor

I believed that I was approaching the end of my days without having tasted to the full any of the pleasures for which my heart thirsted...without having ever tasted that passion which, through lack of an object, was always suppressed. ...The impossibility of attaining the real persons precipitated me into the land of chimeras; and seeing nothing that existed worthy of my exalted feelings, I fostered them in an ideal world which my creative imagination soon peopled with beings after my own heart.

"The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl. In a world of mixers and pub crawls they prefer to stay home with a book. Everywhere around them cell phones ring and e-mails chime and they just want a little quiet.

Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history people would gather around whether by the fire or at a tavern and tell stories. One person would chime in then another maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.

That which makes people dissatisfied with their condition is the chimerical idea they form of the happiness of others.

The good opinion of mankind like the lever of Archimedes with the given fulcrum moves the world.

The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

He was thinking alone and seriously racking his brain to find a direction for this single force four times multiplied with which he did not doubt as with the lever for which Archimedes sought they should succeed in moving the world when some one tapped gently at his door.
