To the first, Rousseau's answer was simple and powerful: "That accuser, Sir, is the only man in the world whose testimony I should admit against you: it is yourself." To the second, Rousseau supplied an indictment of 63 lengthy paragraphs containing the incidents on which he relied for evidence of the plot and how Hume had deviously pulled it off. This he mailed to his foe on July 10 1766. The whole document managed to be simultaneously quite mad but resonating with inspired mockery and tragic sentiment.

ellauri198.html on line 243: The real reason for the defeat in the 1937 Little Steel Strike were the strategies and tactics of the union leaderships. They encouraged their members to have faith in Roosevelt and the Democrats, giving them a false sense of security that they would be protected against violence by their bosses, the police, and the National Guard. Had the workers relied only on their own power in unity, they could have been better prepared.
ellauri264.html on line 532: The "Rema" (Moses Isserles) started writing his commentary on the Arba´ah Turim, Darkhei Moshe, at about the same time as Yosef Karo. Karo finished his work "Bet Yosef" first, and it was first presented to the Rema as a gift from one of his students. Upon receiving the gift, the Rema could not understand how he had spent so many years unaware of Karo´s efforts. After looking through the Bet Yosef, the Rema realized that Karo had mainly relied upon Sephardic poskim.

ellauri370.html on line 132: Heiser argues that the purpose of the herem is to also prevent the physical corruption of the Israelites by nephilim, the fallen angel offspring of sons of God and good looking willing Esthers. The Israeli messianic and political movement Gush Emunim considered the Palestinians to be Canaanites or Amalekites, and suggested that implied a duty to make merciless war against Arabs who reject Jewish sovereignty European Jews who migrated to Palestine relied on the biblical ideology of conquest and extermination, and considered the Arabs to be Canaanites. Scholar Arthur Grenke claims that the view of war expressed in Deuteronomy contributed to the destruction of Native Americans and to the destruction of European Jewry. Jewish fundamentalists in Israel, such as Shlomo Aviner, consider the Palestinians to be like biblical Canaanites, and that some fundamentalist leaders suggest that they "must be prepared to destroy" the Palestinians if the Palestinians do not leave the land.
ellauri389.html on line 442: During the next 10 years Donne lived in poverty and humiliating dependence, first on the charity of Anne’s cousin at Pyrford, Surrey, then at a house in Mitcham, about 7 miles (11 km) from London, and sometimes in a London apartment, where he relied on the support of noble patrons. All the while he repeatedly tried (and failed) to secure employment, and in the meantime his family was growing; Anne ultimately bore 12 children, 5 of whom died before they reached maturity. Donne’s letters show his love and concern for his wife during these years: “Because I have transplanted her into a wretched fortune, I must labour to disguise that from her by all such honest devices, as giving her my company, and discourse.” About himself, however, Donne recorded only despair: “To be part of no body is as nothing; and so I am. … I am rather a sickness or a disease of the world than any part of it and therefore neither love it nor life.”
ellauri409.html on line 516: For Montaigne, firstly, the religious tradition (at least in the institutional form handed down to us) is not necessarily a source of the truth in that even the writings of traditional authorities such as God or Jesus may not be relied on. This is because the meaning of a piece of writing is inherently arbitrary: "once you start digging down into a piece of writing there is simply no slant or meaning, straight, bitter, sweet or bent - which the human mind cannot find there".
xxx/ellauri086.html on line 400: In October 2016, investigative reporter Claudio Gatti published an article jointly in Il Sole 24 Ore and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, that relied on financial records related to real estate transactions and royalties payments to draw the conclusion that Anita Raja, a Rome-based translator, is the real author behind the Ferrante pseudonym. Gatti's article was criticized by many in the literary world as a violation of privacy, though Gatti contends that "by announcing that she would lie on occasion, Ferrante has in a way relinquished her right to disappear behind her books and let them live and grow while their author remained unknown. Indeed, she and her publisher seemed to have fed public interest in her true identity." British novelist Matt Haig tweeted, "Think the pursuit to discover the 'real' Elena Ferrante is a disgrace and also pointless. A writer's truest self is the books they write." The writer Jeanette Winterson, in a Guardian article, denounced Gatti's investigations as malicious and sexist, saying "At the bottom of this so-called investigation into Ferrante's identity is an obsessional outrage at the success of a writer – female – who decided to write, publish and promote her books on her own terms." She went on to say that the desire to uncover Ferrante's identity constitutes an act of sexism in itself, and that "Italy is still a Catholic country with strong patriarchial attitudes towards women." Others responding to Gatti's article suggested that knowledge of Ferrante's biography is indeed relevant.

It was some weeks before she heard that Nelson's last words were of her and that he had begged the nation to take care of her and Horatia. After William and Sarah distanced themselves from her (William being elated upon hearing that Nelson had not changed his will), she relied on Nelson's sisters (Kitty Matcham and Susanna Bolton) for moral support and company. Like her, the Boltons and Matchams had spent lavishly in expectation of Nelson's victorious return, and Emma gave them and other of his friends and relations money.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 90: Few of these bullshit artists and temporary thinkers were as staunchly individualist as Rodin and Rilke. Their kinship, for better and worse, relied on a shared belief about the vocation of the artist—that it was supreme: no relationship, duty, or family obligation should get in the way of his work.

Her writing reflected her Roman Catholic faith and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics. Kauhua. Perhaps, in an indirect way, cinema allowed Lillo to become a writer.

Svetlana Allilujeva (1926-2011): Josif Stalinin tytär. Myöhemmin Lana Peters. Vuonna 1967 hänestä tuli kansainvälinen sensaatio loikattuaan Yhdysvaltoihin ja vuonna 1978 hän sai kansalaisuuden. Vuosina 1984–1986 hän palasi lyhyeksi aikaa Neuvostoliittoon ja sai takaisin Neuvostoliiton kansalaisuutensa. Hän oli Stalinin viimeinen elossa oleva lapsi. Allilujevan äiti ampui itsensä 9. marraskuuta 1932. 'Näettekö, jopa meillä bolševikeilla on perhe-elämä.' 16-vuotiaana Allilujeva rakastui Aleksei Kapleriin , juutalaiseen neuvostoliittolaiseen elokuvantekijään, joka oli 22 vuotta häntä vanhempi . Hänen isänsä paheksui suhdetta jyrkästi, ja Kapler tuomittiin viideksi vuodeksi maanpakoon vuonna 1943 Vorkutaan ja sitten uudelleen vuonna 1948 viideksi vuodeksi työleireille Intiaan. Allilujeva avioitui ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1944 Grigori Morozovin kanssa, joka oli Moskovan yliopiston kansainvälisten asioiden instituutin opiskelija. Hänen isänsä ei pitänyt Morozovista, joka oli juutalainen, vaikka ei koskaan tavannutkaan häntä. Stalin rakasti häntä, mutta oli "hyvin yksinkertainen mies. Hyvin töykeä. Hyvin julma". Oli nippu muitakin miehiä, viimetteexi Frank Lloyd Wrightin vävy Peters. Sit oli viä tämä Singh joka oli aika kipeä. Sen tuhkan Lana kaatoi Gangesiin. Upon her arrival from India in New York City in April 1967, she gave a press conference denouncing her father's legacy and the Soviet government. Her children who were left behind in the Soviet Union did not maintain contact with her.[when?] While Western sources saw a KGB hand behind this, her children claimed that this is because of her complex character. In 1978, Alliluyeva became a US citizen as Lana Peters, By around 1986 she had become impoverished, facing debt and failed investments. Having arrived in the West “blind with admiration for the FREE WORLD”, she had come to realize that the US and the USSR were morally equivalent. She had been convinced that “in the FREE WORLD people are superhuman, wise, enlightened… What a terrible blow it is to find out that… there are just the same idiots, incompetent fools, frightened bureaucrats, confused bosses, paranoid fears of deception and surveillance… this loss of idealism is what happens to defectors only too often. BECAUSE we all relied too much on propaganda.” She had not enjoyed "one single day" of freedom in the West and had been a pet of the CIA. She experimented with various religions. She was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church on 20 March 1963. She spent too much time with catholics in Switzerland. She read books by authors such as Raissa Maritain. While living in Cambridge, on 13 December 1982, Alliluyeva converted to Catholicism. Lana's book was a naïve attempt to shift the blame for Stalinist crimes onto Lavrentiy Beria, and whitewash her own father.
