Gold is so heavy it settles down upon the lowest souls.
I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life.
Where is my guilt? I can regret. I can regret that I made the party film, `Triumph of the Will,' in 1934. But I cannot regret that I lived in that time. No anti-Semitic word has ever crossed my lips. I was never anti-Semitic. I did not join the party. So where then is my guilt? You tell me. I have thrown no atomic bombs. I have never betrayed anyone. What am I guilty of?
I want to see, that's all. This is my life. I want to see
I can simply say that I feel spontaneously attracted by everything that is beautiful. . . It comes from the unconscious and not from my knowledge. . .

TEDIUM, n. Ennui, the state or condition of one that is bored.

In this apparently natural derivation there is something that saddens.
This is also why it is wrong to treat God as a grand employment agency, a celestial executive searcher to find perfect fits for our perfect gifts. The truth is not that God is finding a place for our gifts but that God has created us and our gifts for a place of his choosing – and we will only be ourselves when we are finally there.
Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
Therefore, states are equal in natural rights.
