Quote by Eva Braun

I sat with him for three hours and we did not exchange a single word. At the end he handed me, as he had done before, an envelope with money in it. It would have been much nicer if he had enclosed a greeting or a loving word. I would have been so pleased if he had.

I sat with him for three hours and we did not exchange a sin

Summary

This quote reflects the longing for emotional connection and communication in a relationship. The narrator spends three hours in silence with someone, possibly a relative or a lover, and only receives money as a form of transaction. Despite the financial gesture, the narrator expresses a desire for a more intimate and personal interaction, longing for a simple greeting or a loving word in the envelope instead. This highlights the importance of emotional connection and communication in relationships, as material gestures alone may not satisfy the need for meaningful connection.

To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.

One of the tragic ironies of history is that such original and creative geniuses as Buddha and Jesus have been extolled as perfect patterns for all to emulate. In the very struggle to be like someone else rather than to be one's own true self, or to do one's own best in one's own environment, a child is in danger of losing the pearl that is really beyond price - the integrity of his (or her) own soul.

What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine.
