Enemy occupied territory is what the world is.
I work on two levels. I occupy my conscious mind with things to do, lines to draw, movements to organize, rhythms to invent. In fact, I keep myself occupied. But that allows other things to happen which I'm not controlling. . . the more I exercise my conscious mind, the more open the other things may find that they can come through.
A person may rise to the highest degree of contemplation even when busily occupied.
Each of the major sciences has contributed an essential ingredient in our long retreat from an initial belief in our own cosmic importance. Astronomy defined our home as a small planet tucked away in one corner of an average galaxy among millions; biology took away our status as paragons created in the image of God; geology gave us the immensity of time and taught us how little of it our own species has occupied.
If you're paying attention to your wardrobe, Rudy believed, your mind isn't sufficiently occupied.
Violence [in Palestina] is a symptom; the occupation is the disease - a mortal disease for everybody concerned, the occupied and the occupiers. Therefore, the first responsibility is to put an end to the occupation.
It is a false principle that because we are entirely occupied with ourselves, we must equally occupy the thoughts of others. The contrary inference is the fair one.
I want to tell Carter and Begin that when the Arabs set off their volcano there will be only Arabs in this part of the world. . .

I lost nothing thereby -- not even money, certainly not my soul.
Space can be mapped and crossed and occupied without definable limit; but it can never be conquered. When our race has reached its ultimate achievements, and the stars themselves are scattered no more widely than the seed of Adam, even then we shall still be like ants crawling on the face of the Earth. The ants have covered the world, but have they conquered it for what do their countless colonies know of it, or of each other?
If the enemy has occupied them before you, do not follow him, but retreat and try to entice him away.
One song bled into another and they remained locked together, neither willing to break the intimacy that surrounded them, concealing them in the small space the two occupied.

We're here because we want to go to the Orient House. We're here because this is our city. It's an occupied city, I know. They have arms, they have weapons, they have police, they have mortar guns, but it is Palestinian and it is under occupation.
Generally we are occupied either with the miseries which now we feel, or with those which threaten; and even when we see ourselves sufficiently secure from the approach of either, still fretfulness, though unwarranted by either present or expected affliction, fails not to spring up from the deep recesses of the heart, where its roots naturally grow, and to fill the soul with its poison.
For almost half a century, Fermilab has occupied center stage as physicists have sought to understand the fundamental structure of the universe.

The authors present a compelling, nuanced, and richly detailed account of the place from its beginnings to the present.
The problem is we disagree about the origin. Is this occupied land or not?
