the stimuli they are exposed to; they filter them. As they grow, selective exposure

to certain experiences prove to mean that all the possibilities will not be

Money is basically a means of payment. Apart from the ordinary motive of saving,

people require it for what it will buy rather than for holding it. The demand for

I begin to tell you of what has lately happened to me? It is too cruel, but when

The novelist laughed a clear long laugh of full enjoyment at his mistake. I always

think a laugh is a significant gesture. His laughter, free and spontaneous, is the

kind called forth by the solemn incongruities, the monkeyish trickeries and odd

mistakes of social life, but I never found any malice in it. His is the kind of

laugh one would expect to hear if the president of his country took the wrong hat,

but not if an old man's hat blew off into the gutter.
