Quote by Cassandra Clare

But it was mortality that made them what they were, the flame that blazed brighter for it's flickering

But it was mortality that made them what they were, the flam

Summary

This quote suggests that the inevitability of death is what gives significance and meaning to individuals or objects. The imagery of a flame that burns more intensely because it is finite and eventually extinguished, implies that mortal beings or things are valued and appreciated more due to their impermanence. The transient nature of life heightens the intensity of experiences and makes them more impactful and precious. It implies that mortality is not a weakness, but rather a catalyst for greatness and vitality.

On May 14 I was informed that the Provisional Government of Israel was planning to proclaim a Jewish state at midnight that day, Palestine time, which was when the British mandate came to an end. I decided to move at once and give American recognition to the new nation. I instructed a member of my staff to communicate my decision to the State Department and prepare it for transmission to Ambassador Austin at the United Nations in New York. About thirty minutes later, exactly eleven minutes after Israel had been proclaimed a state, Charlie Ross, my press secretary, handed the press the announcement of the de facto recognition by the United States of the provisional government of Israel.

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion -- and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
