I am often on guard over the russians. in the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. they come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. their fingers hook round the mesh.

More From Erich Maria Remarque

It would have been hard for fat charlie to say exactly when the accumulation of birds on the wire mesh moved from interesting to terrifying. it was somewhere in the first hundred or so, anyway. and it was in the way they didn't coo, or caw, or trill, or song. they simply landed on the wire, and they watched him.

[david lean's] images stay with me forever. but what makes them memorable isn't necessarily their beauty. that's just good photography. it's the emotion behind those images that's meant the most to me over the years. it's the way david lean can put feeling on film. the way he shows a whole landscape of the spirit. for me, that's the real geography of david lean country. and that's why, in a david lean movie, there's no such thing as an empty landscape.

One way to keep people close to you is by not giving them enough. ... with people who give a lot of themselves, you sometimes lean back - but with people who give little you often lean forward, as if they're a spigot in the desert and you're the empty cup. it is the tropism of deprivation: we lean toward those who do not give.

There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. and when the lambs whisper among themselves, "these birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, we have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

You must understand, the leading bolsheviks who took over russia were not russians. they hated russians. they hated christians. driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of russians without a shred of human remorse. it cannot be overstated. bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. the fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.
