  • How to cite this quotation by Nietzsche?

    I want to use this quote by Nietzsche for an essay: "Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights; as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful – but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away."

    However, when I google this quote, it only gives me the author (Nietzsche) and no book or record of where it came from. Does anyone know what work by Nietzsche this quote came from? If he said this in some discourse or interview, can someone point me to the right direction of how to cite it in Chicago style?

    Thank you!

  • Question about 2001: A Space Odyssey?

    What made HAL into an emphatic being making decisions on defensive impulses? I feel that as a faultless computer, he should've made more accurate assumptions rather than furtively stage a "coup", so to speak, against Frank and Dave. Did he somehow come into contact with a particle from the Black monolith? Is that was inside one of the radio/satellite thing that was meant to malfunction? Or did HAL come into imperfect sentience on his own after having spent 18 months with other humans Much clarification would be awesome!

  • I want to be normal, a social creature rather an a recluse?

    I spent the last 18 years of my life being an elitist recluse. I hate everyone I met. And if I didn't hate them, I took their most unappealing attributes (which everyone has) and scrutinized it to fuel more of my hate. After a while, i found literature and films which almost supported this elitist outlook and I kept on doing it. I kept on finding their bad qualities (arrogant, overambitious, follower, etc ... bad qualities everyone has). Soon enough, I inevitably started hating myself. I hated myself for even starting down this road. And that self-loathing grew and grew as I realized my loneliness and the consequent well-deserved ostracism i suffered. I want to be normal. I want to laugh and enjoy my time with other people, not hole myself up in a ditch afraid of being with them because no one is perfect. I want to be able to date without ****-talking that guy in my mind. I want to be able to have friends (I only have one and only best friend).

    I try talking in functions (rare opportunities I do get to go to them). But people seem to ignore me. And I'm so awkward. I don't know what to talk about. I don't know what to say when I have nothing in common. Please someone help me? I tried seeing a psychologist but I just can't afford one...

  • firefox crashing over and over?!?

    it never did this before, but recently firefox has been crashing on a certain, specific website. After it crashes, it pops out a window that asks the user whether he/she should report the problem to the company. I've already done this and the browser acts like the crash is spontaneous but I know it's not since it only happens with THAT website. I'm also quite confused because it never happened before a few days ago so it can't be a virus or something like that.

  • Can anyone remind me a good romance flick?

    When i mean good i don't mean unrealistic and cliched. The notebook was good but it's still too fairy-tale ish. I want sometihng that depicts more of the average couple except emphasizing on the power of their love as they struggle through problems common to everyone such as in Knocked Up and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

  • I need help with algebra 2 homework?

    given the distance equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2 with an origin of (0,0), convert it as two functions

    so the equation was x^2 + y^2 = 4 and i had to turn it into y=mx + b

    so i simplified it to y^2 = -x^2 + 4

    I got: y = +/- square root of x + 2 but i plugged it in the calculator to check but i got two crooked lines rather than a circle with a distance of 4. Someone help?

  • I thought herbal essences was supposed to be good?

    Well I've had longer hair than I used to, but for some reason herbal essences isn't working its charm like it used to. A few years back I used to use it and it would make my hair tame, healthy, shiny, soft, and fragrant. Then for a little while my mom switched us to Garnier, which was eh ok. And then I recently switched back and my hair still looks unruly. I kind of have hermoine hair except less wild. Any suggestions?

  • Which Keira Knightley movie is this?

    I searched in imdb and wikipedia but for some reason they don't have the particular movie im searching for. I'm looking for a movie with Keira Knightley in it (obviously) and some other actors and this movie was made in 2005 i think (i forgot the title if it isn't obvious anymore). I believe it's like during the 2nd World War or 1st... and I believe it's set in Russia or some country suffering from war in Europe. She's basically the mistress of this guy who has a pregnant wife and when he runs away (to do something i can't remember), his mistress basically helps his wife give birth. These are details I remember which I'm hoping someone can use to lead me to the title of the movie. My mom rented it from netflix years ago and I would just see a few peeks so I don't have a distinct memory of the film. Can anyone help?

  • How do I find the name of this Marine?

    Alright so my friend and I were going on AIM public chatrooms for fun (because we didn't know they even existed until the night before) and I saw this chatroom called Deployed in Iraq. I wanted to see if it was really real. SO I go in and I meet this Marine soldier who gets a hold of a computer with internet that he is authorized to use. We talk for hours and hours I think I really want to develop SOMETIHNG with this guy. At least a friendship because he really left an impression on me. I want to find out his rank and last name so I can write him a letter. I know his name but have no idea about anything else. How should I go about this?

  • Question about seeing a therapist when you're a minor?

    I'm a working minor who wants to see a therapist. I don't want my parents to find anything about this. They've worked so hard to keep me and my 4 other siblings in a nice neighborhood with things they've never had as children. I don't want to disappoint them with my depression. So, I plan on seeing a therapist by myself and I plan on paying everything myself. Can this happen without my parents finding out? Will my health insurance have to find out about this even though I don't intend on getting them involved either?

  • what's this classical piece's name?

    It's a classical piece recently played in a commercial about some expensive chocolate. You can hear it played in the movie "Meet the Parents" when they go meet with the main woman's ex and his little carpentry room. For those who hasn't seen the movie or the commercial, the piece sounds serene, almost like describing a heavenly place or heaven itself. Help?
