Summary

This quote suggests that distance or separation from someone does not necessarily strengthen love or emotions, as the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" suggests. Instead, it implies that absence or distance can actually ignite passion and desire, represented metaphorically by "heating up the blood." In other words, being apart from someone may make one crave their presence and intensify their feelings.

I did a production of 'Journey's End,' an RC Sherriff play about World War I, at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said, 'You know, you could really do this if you wanted to.'

Judged by every standard which history has applied to Govern

Judged by every standard which history has applied to Governments, the Soviet Government of Russia is one of the worst tyrannies that has ever existed in the world. It accords no political rights. It rules by terror. It punishes political opinions. It suppresses free speech. It tolerates no newspapers but its own. It persecutes Christianity with a zeal and a cunning never equalled since the times of the Roman Emperors. It is engaged at this moment in trampling down the peoples of Georgia and executing their leaders by hundreds.
