The real question is, Did God use evolution as His plan? If it could be shown that man, instead of being made in the image of God, is a development of beasts we would have to accept it, regardless of its effort, for truth is truth and must prevail. But when there is no proof we have a right to consider the effect of the acceptance of an unsupported hypothesis.
If you're having a bad day already and everybody is just asking you petty questions, it drives people to the edge, or something really small will have a really large effect.
Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.
Violence, with its ever-present economy of uncertainty, fear, and terror, is no longer merely a side effect of police brutality, war, or criminal behavior. It has become fundamental to neoliberalism as a particularly savage facet of capitalism. And in doing so it has turned out to be central to legitimating those social relations in which the political and pedagogical are redefined in order to undercut possibilities for authentic democracy.
The science of the modern school. . . is in effect. . . the acquisition of imperfectly analyzed misstatements about entrails, elements, and electricity.
The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.
The Vietnamese have a secret weapon. It's their willingness to die beyond our willingness to kill. In effect, they've been saying, You can kill us, but you'll have to kill a lot of us; you may have to kill all of us. And, thank heaven, we are not yet ready to do that.
Hiroshima had a profound effect upon me.

The effect of the indulgence of human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.
We need, in effect, to make the phantom 'lock-boxes' around the trust fund real.
The imagination loses vitality as it ceases to adhere to what is real. When it adheres to the unreal and intensifies what is unreal, while its first effect may be extraordinary, that effect is the maximum effect that it will ever have.
With opposite coloured bishops the attacking side has in effect an extra piece in the shape of his bishop.
Seek the strongest color effect possible. . . the content is of no importance.
The words of the Declaration of Independence, as given effect by Washington. . . are to be accepted as real, and not as empty phrases. . . that in very truth this is a government by the people themselves, that the Constitution is theirs, that the courts are theirs, that all the government agents and agencies are theirs. . . It is for the people themselves finally to decide all questions of public policy and to have their decision made effective. . . We here, in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world.
Men do not knowingly drink for the effect alcohol produces on the body. What they drink for is the brain-effect; and if it must come through the body, so much the worse for the body.
Nominal damages are in effect, only a peg to hang costs on.
It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power. . . it's the goodness.
In reality, I don't think that many of the policies we've attempted to apply to deal with it are going to have any serious effect.
