There are few circumstances among those which make up the present condition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have been expected, or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on the most important subjects still lingers, than the little progress which has been made in the decision of the controversy respecting the criterion of right and wrong. From the dawn of philosophy, the question concerning the summum bonum, or, what is the same thing, concerning the foundation of morality, has been accounted the main problem in speculative thought, has occupied the most gifted intellects, and divided them into sects and schools, carrying on a vigorous warfare against one another. And after more than two thousand years the same discussions continue, philosophers are still ranged under the same contending banners, and neither thinkers nor mankind at large seem nearer to being unanimous on the subject, than when the youth Socrates listened to the old Protagoras, and asserted (if Plato's dialogue be grounded on a real conversation) the theory of utilitarianism against the popular morality of the so-called sophist.

Since That Fatal But Delightful Night In Grosvenor Place, Mr. Harry Foker's Heart Had Been In Such A State Of Agitation As You Would Hardly Have Thought So Great A Philosopher Could Endure. When We Remember What Good Advice He Had Given To Pen In Former Days, How An Early Wisdom And Knowledge Of The World Had Manifested Itself In The Gifted Youth; How A Constant Course Of Self-Indulgence, Such As Becomes A Gentleman Of His Means And Expectations, Ought By Right To Have Increased His Cynicism, And Made Him, With Every Succeeding Day Of His Life, Care Less And Less For Every Individual In The World, With The Single Exception Of Mr. Harry Foker, One May Wonder That He Should Fall Into The Mishap To Which Most Of Us Are Subject Once Or Twice In Our Lives, And Disquiet His Great Mind About A Woman. But Foker, Though Early Wise, Was Still A Man. He Could No More Escape The Common Lot Than Achilles, Or Ajax, Or Lord Nelson, Or Adam Our First Father, And Now, His Time Being Come, Young Harry Became A Victim To Love, The All-Conqueror. [mehr]

Gouverneur Morris (January 31, 1752 – November 6, 1816) was an American statesman, a Founding Father of the United States, and a native of New York City who represented Pennsylvania in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He was a signatory to the Articles of Confederation. Morris was also an author of large sections of the Constitution of the United States and one of its signers. He is widely credited as the author of the document's preamble, and has been called the "Penman of the Constitution."[1] In an era when most Americans thought of themselves as citizens of their respective states, Morris advanced the idea of being a citizen of a single union of states.[2] His first name came from his mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Gouverneur from a Huguenot family that had first moved to Holland then to New Amsterdam.[3] A gifted scholar, Morris enrolled in 1764, at age 12, at King's College, now Columbia College of Columbia University in New York City. He graduated in 1768 and received a Master's degree in 1771. [mehr]

Crown Prince Italo of the far-off Kingdom of Faust made two mistakes - he attacked Colryn's wife and as a direct result was forced to return home without the information that would prevent a war. And then he lied about it to the monstrously powerful sorceror who had sent him to acquire it. Colryn has that knowledge now. He doesn't know what to do with it, but his wife - frail, impetuous and gifted, insightful and sometimes frightened, Michaela - will soon learn. For millenia uncounted, the Fey have resided in the untracked wooded wilderness of Selena. Ever wary of the human settlers that have come to carve out their place in this land, they exist apart - aloof and secretive. Their isolation - and existence - threatened by the wrath of a mighty and ambitious sorceror whose plans have gone awry, the Fey have chosen sides. [mehr]

«Le Cinq est face à la mort- Le One doit réussir» ‘ The Six shall face Death- The One shall succeed’ The Coven Games were held every hundred years, a pastime in the paranormal world that ignites rivalry from every witch’s coven and were-pack. It’s simple: twelve teens pinned against each other, gifted with unnatural talents, each coven of six teens coached by an Elder, dubbed the Chronicle. The teens must locate the six members of their coven, and destroy any other threats, meaning the six other contestants. It’s an honor, to be chosen. Except for Grace Duchannes. It was after her grandmother’s teachings landed her in a mental ward with kids who were familiar with the occult. After she returned home; after she tried to start over; after the voices began again. After all of that, Grace Duchannes was sure she was just crazy. She had to be. But then, Kincade Badeaux arrived on a rusted motorcycle that looked as though it were going to explode at any minute. Like a true Cajun Casanova, he managed to insult, confuse, and intrigue Grace with a simple offer: he will travel with her to her grandmother’s, the coven’s Chronicle, if she is willing to find the four other teens needed to bind them into the Games. For once, Grace relents. But only then, after the deal is sealed, does Grace realize she is in way over her head. With a man named Death haunting her dreams and invading her reality, a bad boy just hoping to snag her heart, and the lives of her friends on the line, Grace must make decisions beyond what sweater she should wear the next day, or how long she should study for the biology quiz. No, Grace Duchannes was playing to live. (Really bad blurb, just read further if any of this sounds even remotely interesting.) [mehr]

This is my story. I put it as a fiction work, but it's actually based on real events. I hope that when people read this story they can experience the same emotions like I did living through this love story. I cried, laughed, was surpriced, shocked, loved, and lived. Alesya was born in Ukraine. She was born to a family of 5 brothers and one sister, she was very gifted since she was born. She never knew love can come and go so fast. Why is her love so strong while others's love can't even measure up to hers? Should she give up and end her life, or should she keep on living? Why did her first love have to end so fast? Was all this time a dream that turned from "too good to be true" to a "just a nightmare" in less then she could blink? Roman Gregorovitch was the only child born to a mom and dad who loved him and spoiled him rotten! But it did not go to his head, he was brought upp well, and while he was growing up he had a best friend, her name was Alesya, she was the blonde, blue eyed, beauty. He never knew love till he fell hard for his best friend! Then something tragic happened to his whole family as they were driving bsck from spring break in Southern Ukraine, visiting grandparents. One regret is not telling each other I love you, goodbye..... See what happens, pass this book on, I would love to hear from you personally, I would also love it if ya'll give me your opinions on what you though of this story, if there are any mistakes or grammar problems, forgive me, this is my 3rd language. Love, Olesya Vorontsova [mehr]
