The mere sense of living is joy enough. – Emily DickinsonRate it:
The merit of our Constitution was, not that it promotes democracy, but checks it. – Horatio SeymourRate it:
The message of this film, in my mind, is the same as Otto Frank's. Otto was adamant that Anne's diary had a universal message. He felt that it should not just be specific to the Jewish experience of the Holocaust. There are many who feel that the Holocaust was a uniquely Jewish experience and that Anne's story should be about the genocide of the Jews specifically. I don't agree. From my own lifetime, I've seen genocide and I've seen what happens when nations even turn against themselves and I have firmly hooked my flag to Otto's universalist message. He wanted to perpetuate her writings for those reasons and I'm more than comfortable, happy in fact, to be a small part of that. – Jon BlairRate it:
The message to take from Anne's story is to stop prejudice and discrimination right at its beginning. Prejudice starts when we speak about THE Jews, THE Arabs, THE Asians, THE Mexicans, THE Blacks, THE Whites. This leads to the feeling that all members of each such group think and act the same. That results in prejudice. Lumping entire groups of people together is RACISM, because it denies the fact that everyone is an individual. Even our own brothers and sisters or parents are not exactly like we are. So how do we dare to lump entire groups of people together? If any German had ever asked Anne to tell something about herself, I think she would be still with us today. However, nobody asked: she was just a Jew! Therefore, never base your opinion about anybody else on the color of that person's skin, or on the passport that a person carries, or on the family that person comes from, but only on what the person says and does and on NOTHING ELSE. – Miep GiesRate it:
The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him. – Jose Ortega y GassetRate it:
The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones. – Northrop FryeRate it:
The metaphysical imagination will challenge the dilemma. – Prof.Salam Al ShereidaRate it:
The Mets have gotten their leadoff batter on only once this inning. – Ralph KinerRate it:
The microscopic view of the peoples’ behavioural psychology shows that a person who wants only others to do & excludes oneself from own advice tends to have often thoughts with the word ‘YOU’. – Anuj SomanyRate it:
The mightiest of weapons is truth. And everyone knows you're not permitted to enter a Government building with a weapon. – John Alejandro King, a.k.a. The Covert Comic, www.covertcomic.comRate it:
The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars. – William WestmorelandRate it:
The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood. – Seán O'CaseyRate it:
The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. – Tench CoxeRate it:
The Mind acts like a magnet...It gets stuck to the past. It gets sucked into our yesterdays, and our Joy and Peace does not last. – AiR Atman in RaviRate it:
The mind alike, Vigorous or weak, is capable of culture, But still bears fruit according to its nature. ?Tis not the teacher?s skill that rears the scholar: The sparkling gem gives back the glorious radiance It drinks from other light, but the dull earth Absorbs the blaze, and yields no gleam again. – BhavabhutiRate it:
The mind appears to be a very confusing planet in which to reside. We are lucky to be blessed with different mentalities. – Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:
The mind can also be an erogenous zone. – Raquel WelchRate it:
The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept. – D. H. LawrenceRate it:
The Mind can think only one thought at a time. If your mind is occupied by a meaningless thought, you block a meaningful thought from entering it. – RVMRate it:
The mind cannot long act the role of the heart. – La RochefoucauldRate it:
The mind conceives with pain, but it brings forth with delight. – Joseph JoubertRate it:
The mind has a powerful way of attracting things that are in harmony with it, good and bad. – Idowu KoyenikanRate it:
The mind has a thousand eyes. And the heart but one Yet the life of a whole life dies When love is done. – Francis William BourdillonRate it:
