“One of the silliest lines ever said in a feature film came from Love Story, the 1970s hit, which immortalized the phrase, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." There are few people who would actually want to share a life with someone who held that concept near and dear.” PeopleWantMeanSaidStoriesFilmLinesShareConceptsSorryDearLove StoryFeaturesPhrasesCompanionshipLove Means Author:Marge M.

“The head of a Pike, served at supper, is said to have caused the death from terror of Theodoric the Goth, who imagined the fish's features to be those of Symmachus, a man he had just killed.

“Hanns Heinz Ewers tells a short story of a boy who was so unnatural of disposition as to take a special delight in people sick with elephantiasis. Our "European intellectuality" finds itself in an identical condition today which, through Jewish pens, worships the Kokoschka, Chagalls and Pechsteins as the leaders of the Art of the future. Features of degeneracy are already apparent, as, for instance, with Schwalbach, who dares representing Jesus as flat footed and bow legged.” PeopleArtStoriesTodayJesusLeaderBoysSpecialConditionsWorshipSickDelightDareInstanceFeaturesFlatsPensShort StoryBowsDispositionIdenticalUnnaturalRepresenting Author:Alfred Rosenberg
“One interesting feature of criticism is seen in the ease with which it discovers what Addison called the specific quality of an author. In Livy, it will be the manner of telling the story; in Sallust, personal identification with the character; in Tacitus, the analysis of the deed into its motive. If the same test be applied to painters, it will find the prominent faculty of Correggio to be manifested in harmony of effect; of Poussin, in the sentiment of his landscapes; and of Raffaelle, in the general comprehension of his subject.” IfsCharacterStoriesInterestingQualitySubjectsEffectsCriticismTestsHarmonyDeedsPainterLandscapeEaseFeaturesAnalysisMotiveFacultySentimentsComprehensionIdentificationProminent Author:Robert Aris Willmott
