“Historians still often see the end of the war as meaning nothing more for Germany than lost territories, lost participation in colonization, and lost assets for the state and individuals. They frequently overlook the most serious loss that Germany suffered.” StillsWarEndsStatesIndividualLostLossSeriousGermanyAssetsTerritoryHistorianParticipationColonizationMeaning Nothing Author:Gustav Stresemann
“Still, I also know that most people, including me, tend to applaud the wrong things: the showy, dramatic record-setting sprint rather than the years of dogged preparation or the unwavering grace displayed during a string of losses. Applause, then, never bore much relation to the reality of my life as an astronaut, which was not all about, or even mostly about, flying around in space.” PeopleKnowsYearsStillsRealityLossSpaceRecordsGraceRelationIncludingFlyingSettingSettingsPreparationDramaticStringsBoresApplauseAstronautWrong ThingsSprintUnwaveringShowy Author:Chris Hadfield

“Just remember, loss is imaginary. Nothing ever disappears in the universe; it only changes form. If there is something that still wounds you, it's because of the meaning that you have linked to it. Maybe what you need to do is to have faith and say, 'Even though I don't know why this has happened, I am willing to trust. Someday, when the time is right, I will understand.'” IfsKnowsNeedsStillsMotivationalRememberFormUniverseLossHappenedWillingDisappearWoundsSomedayHave FaithImaginaryLinked Author:Tony Robbins

“Do they still call it infatuation? That magic ax that chops away the world in one blow, leaving only the couple standing there trembling? Whatever they call it, it leaps over anything, takes the biggest chair, the largest slice, rules the ground wherever it walks, from a mansion to a swamp, and its selfishness is its beauty.... People with no imagination feed it with sex -- the clown of love. They don't know the real kinds, the better kinds, where losses are cut and everybody benefits. It takes a certain intelligence to love like that -- softly, without props.” PeopleKnowsWorldLoveKindStillsRealCertainSexImaginationLossWalksCuttingMagicCoupleBenefitsStandingLeavingBlowSelfishnessChairsLeapInfatuationClownTremblingPropsMansionsSwampsStanding There Author:Toni Morrison
