We all know how 'modern democracies take loaves from the wealthy.' It's the slipups in the 'pass them out to the poor' department that inspire a study of Economics. ↗

Говорить о гибели цивилизации и безнадежно опускать руки нельзя – так поступают многие интеллигенты на Западе, пытаясь оправдать свое бездействие. И без того сейчас там культура сильно отстает от техники. Люди приобретают все большую власть над природой, забывая о необходимости воспитания и переделки самого человека, часто недалеко ушедшего от своих предков по уровню общественного сознания. А вы, советская молодежь, хотите быть бойцами за культуру, за будущее счастье человечества. Тогда верьте в могущество нашей страны и не колеблясь идите по выбранному пути! Возможно, что впереди, вряд ли очень скоро, – новая грозная война, решающая схватка старого с новым. Делая наше дело, мы будем бороться за нашу культуру. Благородная задача – отстоять ее от варварства, вооруженного последним словом техники. (Илья Андреевич Давыдов - аспирантам) ↗

Colored lights blink on and off, racing across the green boughs. Their reflections dance across exquisite glass globes and splinter into shards against tinsel thread and garlands of metallic filaments that disappear underneath the other ornaments and finery. Shadows follow, joyful, laughing sprites. The tree is rich with potential wonder. All it needs is a glance from you to come alive. ↗

And Zeus told Aphrodite, in all sincerity, that he had now given up catching oysters for her sake. But could not help cursing her for having started him off in eating them. Since Hera had now taken over the show. She was the only Goddess in Olympus who had the ability to renew her virginity as she bathed in the spring of Kanathos, near Argos, & thus had taken upon herself the job of supplying him with fresh oysters. ↗
