“The Daily Telegraph reported on April 9, 1937: 'Since M. Litvinoff ousted Chicherin, no Russian has ever held a high post in the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs.' It seems that the Daily Telegraph was unaware that Chicherin's mother was a Jewess. The Russian Molotov, who became Foreign Minister later, has a Jewish wife, and one of his two assistants is the Jew, Lozovsky. It was the last-named who renewed the treaty with Japan in 1942, by which the Kamchatka fisheries provided the Japanese with an essential part of their food supplies.” TwoSeemsLastsMotherWifeEssentialsAffairJewPostsMinistersJapanAprilTreatiesSuppliesAssistantsTelegraphForeign AffairsFood SupplyFisheriesMolotov Author:Arnold Leese
“I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. The kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.” WellsKindPersonsSoulMomentsFormQualityMarriageLoversEssentialsCommitmentAnd LoveAffairPartnersAll KindsAll TimeNot SureLove AffairLove And Marriage Author:Merle Shain
“A man in love ... is the master, so it seems, but only if his lady friend permits it! The need to interchange the roles of slave and master for the sake of the relationship is never more clearly demonstrated than in the course of an affair. Never is the complicity between victim and executioner more essential. Even chained, down on her knees, begging for mercy, it is the woman, finally, who is in command ... the all powerful slave, dragging herself along the ground at her master's heels, is now really the god. The man is only her priest, living in fear and trembling of her displeasure.” IfsMenNeedsSeemsCoursesWomenLove IsPowerfulRolesHe ManMastersEssentialsMercyVictimSlaveAffairSakeCommandKneesPriestsPermitHeelsBeggingTremblingChainedComplicityExecutionersDispleasureInterchangeLiving In Fear Author:Anne Desclos
“I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews. They have given religion to three-quarters of the globe and have influenced the affairs of mankind more and more happily than any other nation, ancient or modern.” IfsMenShouldBelieveStillsEarthThreeGivenNationsFateModernMankindEssentialsEternalInstrumentsBlindAffairAncientAtheistJewGloriousEmpiresComparisonQuartersBubblesGlobesJudaismHebrewHands TiedJewish Religion Author:John Adams

“It was strange: When you reduced even a fledgling love affair to its essentials--I loved her, she maybe loved me, I was foolish, I suffered--it became vacuous and trite, meaningless to anyone else. In the end, it's only the moments that we have, the kiss on the palm, the joint wonder at the furrowed texture of a fir trunk or at the infinitude of grains of sand in a dune. Only the moments.” EndsMomentsWonderStrangeKissingEssentialsAffairFoolishSandMeaninglessGrainPalmsJointsTextureLove AffairTrunksGrains Of SandVacuousFledglings Author:Susan Vreeland
