"None, yet; first, Alanna wishes Vader's opinion of what we have all seen." "As Alanna wishes. Donovan of Vader." Hurley recognized the chief of the first clan founded after Sandeman overthrew the Shapers, named for the figure in the Saga who had regained his and his family's honor by overthrowing his oppressor.
"And you know the Shapers began creating the Sandeman race from their own genetic material in 2130, according to the calendar you and the Empire share." "Every child knows that." "Uh-huh. Given all that, tell me where the Shaqers originated." Kelly thought about his statements, her expression going from intent to disbelief to revulsion. "They came from Terra!" "They sure did," Medart said.
Where these four major shapers of public policy and directors of public administration were of like mind, they shared wealth and power. When they differed, one or another enjoyed priority and exercised some measure of control over the other three.
Later on we shall find that not only government, but almost everything in Japanese society, derives directly or indirectly from this ancestor-cult; and that in all matters the dead, rather than the living, have been the rulers of the nation and the shapers of its destinies.
If we take all its activities into account, we see arising amongst humanity a vast realm of labour units, possessed in their own way not only of will but of the sharpest imaginable intelligence. Although they are wholly remote from man's own nature, he more and more subdues his thoughts and actions to theirs, allowing them to take rank as guides and shapers of his civilization.
Piano again. Cowley it is. Way he sits in to it, like one together, mutual understanding. Tiresome shapers scraping fiddles, eye on the bowend, sawing the cello, remind you of toothache. Her high long snore. Night we were in the box. Trombone under blowing like a grampus, between the acts, other brass chap unscrewing, emptying spittle. Conductor's legs too, bagstrousers, jiggedy jiggedy.
Cervantes was born on October 9, 1547, and died on April 23, 1616, on the same day as Shakespeare. He is, I think, beyond all question, the greatest of humorists. Whether he intended it or not, and I am inclined to believe he did, he has typified in Don Quixote, and Sancho Panza his esquire, the two component parts of the human mind and shapers of human character the imagination and understanding.
All the other drill-press hands and the "shapers," too, were Americans whose husbands, old employees, were now "over there." Not one seemed to have any sense of the unusual; even the little blond check-clerk seated in her booth at the gates of the works with her brass discs about her had in a few months' time changed a revolution into an established custom. She and the discs seemed old friends.
We must be shapers of events, not observers, for if we do not act, the moment will pass and we will lose the best possibilities of our future. We face no imminent threat, but we do have an enemy. The enemy of our time is inaction.
The Shapers must've gone a lot further out in this universe than they did in Alpha Prime." "Who or what are the Shapers?" Medart sighed. "You don't have much intelligence about the Sandemans?" "Almost none," Chavvorth said. "Few have been captured, none successfully interrogated few successfully held, in fact.
