Wagner is contrapuntal in a philosophical way as well as a musical way. What I mean by that is that every tendency has its opposite, and you see that in the man himself. He's a metaphysical hermaphrodite - he embraces hard and soft, masculine and feminine.

You know, I am against lynching and lynching is a tendency of the people.
Given the tendency of many to picture God's realm as somewhere high above Earth - an idea that sounds suspiciously like the Greek stories of deities perched on inaccessible mountain tops - it may seem plausible to assume that astronomers have special insight. Well, of course they don't.
There is a tendency in all parties, when they have been for a long time in possession of power, to augment it.

I think that usually the risk in trying to write children in fiction is the tendency to make them too cute or something.
