Over the years, Russia made the aesthetic glories of Orthodox Christianity her own. Gradually Moscow came to see herself as the leader of the Orthodox world. A theory developed that there had been one Rome, in Italy, that had fallen to the barbarians and to the Roman Catholic heresy. There had been a second Rome: Constantinople. And when that fell to the Turks, there was a third Rome: Moscow. The emperor took his title from the first Rome—Czar is the same word as Caesar—just as he had taken his religion from the second.

heyecanlandıran şey nedir? Nedir?
Never confuse guilt for desire, not to mention activism. About suffering they were never wrong, the old masters. But what they knew, what is now too often forgotten, is that for suffering to be worthy of art, truth is not enough. It also requires beauty. To serve an aesthetic purpose beyond the suffering itself.
"And as the moon rose higher, the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes - a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanish trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder."
“Dualarım yüreğimden geliyordu..”
Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v) hicret için ilahi iznin geldiğini bildirince Hz. Ebû Bekir, birlikte gidip gidemeyeceklerini sormuş, Efendimizin onaylaması üzerine sevincinden ağlamaya başlamıştır. Öylesine ağlıyordu ki Aişe Validemiz o güne kadar sevinçten böyle ağlayan bir kimse görmediğini söylemektedir.
