“Moscow, Rome, London, Paris stay in place. Leningrad and New York float, spreading all their sails, cutting space with their prows, and can disappear, if not in reality, then in the imagination of the poet creating a myth, a mythical tradition on the grounds of his secret experience.” IfsRealityImaginationSpaceSecretCitiesCuttingNew YorkPoetCreatingTraditionMythDisappearLondonParisRomeSailFloatsMoscowLeningrad Author:Nina Berberova
“I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.” IfsMenShouldMindHeartHas BeensMadeOpportunityJesusChristPoorSecretBrainVisionGreaterInfluenceMy HeartJesus ChristShould HaveArmySalvationCaughtLondonAdorationSalvation Army Author:William Booth
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the "Secret Annexe." The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.” PeopleIfsThinkingMadeSaidWarEnoughStoriesWould BeRomanceCoursesInterestingSecretImagineOughtLettersLondonTitlesMinistersCollectionsPublishDiariesDetectivesDutchProgrammesDetective Stories Book:The Diary of Anne Frank Source: The Diary of Anne Frank
“Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay atall. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.” KnowsFirstsMadeReligionSecretEnglandSurpriseLondonPassingPassingsFixedGesturesTowersElectricityMonumentTravellerNewness Author:Ralph Waldo Emerson
