... Very few of us can do something without the feeling that it can be done and done good. So, I want to say several words on the possibility of building the Open society in Russia. ... Even if we can't find long happy periods in the history, but can find ideas, which were original for Russia and the whole world, which were created by Russian philosophers, we can say that we can try to build the Open Society, because Russian way of thinking has something in common with the ideas of the Open society. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...
