type: quotation

text: It was a miserable evening; outside it was snowing and blowing, and in the squire's parlour the candle burned so dimly that you could scarcely distinguish anything in the room but a clock-case with some Chinese ornaments, a large mirror in an old-fashioned frame, and a silver family tankard.

ref: 1886, Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, translated by H.L. Brækstad, Folk and Fairy Tales, page 249:

text: "The evil is for those benighted ones who will have none of it; seeing the light the true believers worship, as the fishes see the stars, but dimly."

ref: 1886 October – 1887 January, H[enry] Rider Haggard, She: A History of Adventure, London: Longmans, Green, and Co., published 1887, →OCLC:

text: The well-heeled gay yuppies of Bay Village would just as soon banish Drag Queens and hustlers entirely from their lives, only to dimly acknowledge them once a year in flowery paeans to "the gay men and Lesbians who rioted at Stonewall and gave birth to our movement" on Gay Pride Day.

text: He was a shadowy man who rarely spoke.

text: By 1980, South Korea had overtaken its northern neighbour, and was well on its way to being one of the Asian tigers – high-performing economies, with democratic movements ultimately winning power in the 1990s. The withdrawal of most Soviet aid in 1991, with the fall of the Soviet empire, pushed North Korea further down. Kim Il-sung had held a genuine place on North Korean people's affections. His son was regarded as a shadowy playboy, with rumours circulating over the years that he imported Russian and Chinese prostitutes, and lived a life of profligacy and excess.

text: But the most frequent guests were as New York magazine put it, “Arab princes, Third World officials, and shadowy European and American businessmen.

push factor

text: The push-pull hypothesis proposes that people will voluntarily vacate old premises and seek new ones when conditions are no longer comfortable or tolerable, or when conditions in another country offer more favorable circumstances for an improved standard of living. According to Juan Gonzales (1990), immigration to America reveals both of the aforementioned push and pull factors. The push factors include economic conditions, political conditions, social conditions, overpopulation, and natural disasters. […] Political push factors include such unsettling events as rebellion, revolution, war, and seizure of the government—all of which reflect grave instability in a society.

ref: 1995, George Henderson, Thompson [Dale] Olasiji, Migrants, Immigrants, and Slaves: Racial and Ethnic Groups in America, Lanham, Md.: University Press of America, →ISBN, page 2:

text: The decision of whether or not to migrate is not taken lightly by any migrant. […] Factors that might force a person to leave their place of residence are called push factors, and these can be broadly divided into ‘hard push factors’ and ‘soft push factors’. Hard push factors include war, starvation and environmental catastrophes, while soft push factors persecution, poverty and social loneliness.

ref: 2005, Stephen Codrington, “Population Change”, in Planet Geography, 3rd edition, Sydney: Solid Star Press, →ISBN, page 11:

text: Socially discriminated entrepreneurs did not switch activity because of: / Push factor[:] Unemployment / Pull factor[:] Low Uncertainty of income […] / Traditional entrepreneurs switched activity because of: / Pull factor[:] could handle alone / Push factor[:] lack of skilled labour

ref: 2005, Atul Mishra, “Entrepreneurial Motivations in Start-up and Survival of Micro- and Small Enterprises in the Rural Non-farm Economy”, in Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, volume 18, number 3, Regina, Saskatchewan: Faculty of Administration, University of Regina, →ISSN, page 314:

text: A pull factor is a positive perception about a location that influences a person to move there. A push factor is a negative perception about a location that induces a person to move away from that location. Both push and pull factors are based on an individual's perceptions of the area. A pull factor for one person may be a push factor for another.

text: Thus, sitting where I was, I lit my candle once more, and then clambered across that great coffin which, for two hours or more, had been a mid-wall of partition between me and danger. But to get out of the niche was harder than to get in; for now that I had a candle to light me, I saw that the coffin, though sound enough to outer view, was wormed through and through, and little better than a rotten shell. So it was that I had some ado to get over it, not daring either to kneel upon it or to bring much weight to bear with my hand, lest it should go through.
