“My nation faces a fundamental challenge - survival. The regime is more threatened than ever before. My forefathers had it easy. The Great Leader, my grandfather, ruled with the support of the world's other superpower at the time, the Soviet Union, as well as our China. But today, the Soviet Union is history and China has become more integrated with the Western system. And the United States seeks regime change in my country. And yet, we have survived with our ideology and system intact. How? Because we have built a protection for ourselves in the form of nuclear weapons.” CountryTodayEasyChallengesLeaderSupportSurvivalWesternProtectionIdeologySovietNuclear WeaponsGrandfatherSoviet UnionMy GrandfatherGreat LeaderIntegratedSuperpowerForefathers Author:Kim Jong-un
“When I look out the window, I exhale a prayer of thanks for the color green, for my children's safety, for the simple acts of faith like planting a garden that helped see us through another spring, another summer.

“The most basic task of any museum must be the protection of works of cultural significance entrusted to its care for the edification and pleasure of future generations. This imperative rightfully takes precedence over acquisition, interpretation, outreach, or any number of other activities now believed to be crucial to the survival of our great art repositories. Sometimes a museum gains its holdings with much strategic forethought, and at other times serendipitously, as when a long-coveted neighbor’s plot suddenly becomes available. Yet the moral responsibility remains the same.” LongArtSometimesCarePleasureNumbersResponsibilityMoralGenerationsActivitySurvivalGainsTasksRemainsAvailableProtectionNeighborPlotSignificanceInterpretationMuseumsCrucialGreat ArtImperativesFuture GenerationStrategicAcquisitionPrecedenceMoral ResponsibilityForethoughtOutreachEdification Author:Martin Filler
“This was the feeling that Ms. Hempel couldn't shake: a conviction that she spent her days among people at the age when they are most purely themselves. How could she not be depleted when she came home, having been exposed for hours, without protection, to all those thrumming radiant selves? Here they were, just old enough to have discovered their souls, but not yet dulled by the ordinary act of survival, not yet practiced in dissembling.” PeopleSoulSelfEnoughFeelingsHomeAgeHoursSurvivalOrdinaryConvictionProtectionShakesExposedRadiant Author:Sarah Shun-lien Bynum
