I do not find it easy to speak of the things that affect me most deeply. But it is good to have told it. It is fixed now. A story that is over.

'All of them. It's on television. They keep the photos on their phones. Nobody ever saw me bare at that age. And I never saw anybody else until I was in the army. I was shy. I was at Dunkirk and I was shy!

'I never knew you were at Dunkirk, lied Mr Jim’s on. (It was a regular untruth - the old man would've been five.) 'What was it like?'

James Bond would probably have known what to do about it; but then, James Bond never drove a 1976 Austin Allegro.

… главная вещь, которую я постиг, заключается в следующем: даже если вы мало что знаете - ну, так другие знают немногим больше. А о том, что вас действительно интересует, никто не знает и половины того, что знаете вы.

The Bible is not a text in which color notations abound, far from it. There are whole books lacking a single color term (Deuteronomy, for example); others limit their use to the area of textiles; throughout, light (light, dark, bright, brilliant, dim) and material (gold, silver, ivory, ebony, precious stones, flax, murex, kermes) take precedence over color strictly speaking.

Gradually, white and black were added to red to form an initial triad around which the oldest color systems were constructed.Green and yellow only joined this triad in a 2nd phase, the dates varying according to the culture, but probably not before the Roman period.As for blue, it doesn’t seem to have become a color in its own right, definitively ranked with the other five, until well into the Christian Middle Ages

Indeed red was the first color to be made and then mastered in Europe, first in painting, as early as the Paleolithic period, later in dyeing, in the Neolithic period. It was also the first color to be linked to stable, recurrent ideas that played an essential role in social life: strength, power, violence, love, beauty.

To associate, oppose, distinguish, hierarchize: the first function of color is to classify. In order to do this, contrary to what is generally assumed, most societies have relied on a limited palette. For a long time in Europe,3 colors seemed to matter more than all the others, at least on the social and symbolic levels: white, black and red, which is to say, from the historical perspective, white and its 2 opposites

The colors of the physicist, chemist, or neurologist are not those of the historian, sociologist, or anthropologist. For all the human sciences color is defined and studied first as a social phenomenon. More than nature, the eye, or the brain, it is society that “makes” color, that gives it its definitions and meanings, that articulates its codes and values, that controls its uses and determines its stake.

Art history as a scholarly discipline is a modern discipline. And yet it is not so very young—older in fact than several other academic disciplines that speak to specially modern concerns, such as economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology. In 1920, for example, there were already eighteen Ordinarien or full professors of art history in the German universities, but only one full professor of psychology.

Алфавит нейтрален по отношению к значимости вещей и просто направляет пользователей к источнику, из которого они могут узнать об их значении и ценности.

Ист. образование <…> утверждает интерпретацию прошлого, делающую детей гражданами, и опирается на две основы: источники, сформированные в том прошлом, которое она изучает, и вопросы к этим источникам, рожденные современностью.

Кроме него, в лагере был еще один русский - рыжий и пухлый мальчик из Бобруйска. Тот приехал в Америку на три месяца раньше Вадика и уверял, что за это время успел напрочь забыть русский язык.
