Balance Zitate

Yet it is perhaps worth mentioning that the masculine tenor of God-talk is particularly problematic in English. In Hebrew, Arabic and French, however, grammatical gender gives theological discourse a sort of sexual counterpoint and dialectic, which provides a balance that is often lacking in English. Thus in Arabic al-Lah (the supreme name for God) is grammatically masculine, but the word for the

divine and inscrutable essence of God—al-Dhat—is feminine.

Revolted by the butchery of the 1914 World War, we in Zurich devoted ourselves to the arts. While guns rumbled in the distance, we sang, painted, made collages and wrote poems with all our might. We were seeking an art based on fundamentals, to cure the madness of the age, and find a new order of things that would restore the balance between heaven and hell. We had a dim premonition that power-mad

gangsters would one day use art itself as a way of deadening men's minds.

In the circumstances it is much to be regretted that the men have not as yet responded generally to the call to return to work. A hold up of the food supplies of London will inevitably cause hardship and grave inconvenience to millions of ​householders; but this is by no means the end of the damage. The handling of the country's overseas trade normally stretches to the limit the capacity of our

available shipping. A hold up of any length delays the turn-round of ships and cannot be made up subsequently. The stoppage cuts millions of dollars and other needed foreign currency off our earnings—and cuts them off finally. Already the prospect of attaining this month's export target is affected, the gap in the balance of our payments is widened and the pace of national recovery slowed down.

I cannot believe that the general body of strikers have hitherto realised the true consequences of their action. They should return to work and allow any grievances they may feel to be dealt with by the proper machinery.

The events of these last few days constitute one of the greatest diplomatic defeats that this country and France have ever sustained. There can be no doubt that it is a tremendous victory for Herr Hitler. Without firing a shot, by the mere display of military force, he has achieved a dominating position in Europe which Germany failed to win after four years of war. He has overturned the balance of

power in Europe. He has destroyed the last fortress of democracy in Eastern Europe which stood in the way of his ambition.

It is an assured sign of a worthy and generous spirit, whom honor amends. For honor is, or should be, the place of virtue and as in nature, things move violently to their place, and calmly in their place, so virtue in ambition is violent, in authority settled and calm. All rising to great place is by a winding stair; and if there be factions, it is good to side a man's self, whilst he is in the

rising, and to balance himself when he is placed.

Sally: "Ich weiß nicht, ich denke, Ihr seht das etwas zu eng. Der Punkt ist: Wir sterben doch alle. Das ist die natürliche Ordnung." - Aidan: "Nein, wir müssen nicht sterben. Das muss nicht so sein." - Josh: "Leg Dich lieber nicht mit Sally an, die weiß, wie das ist, wenn es um die Balance im Universum geht. Da geht sie an die Decke, dafür könnte sie töten." - "Aidan: "Nein, müssen wir

aber nicht. Muss nicht so sein, wir müssen nicht sterben." - Josh: "Aidan, tut mir leid, ehrlich... wir müssen alle sterben!" - Sally: "Sogar Du, mein Süßer." - Aidan: "Nein, müssen wir nicht. Wir müssen nicht sterben... und das werden wir auch nicht. Wir werden nicht sterben!"
