17.Alıntı
"When vain desire at last and vain regret
Go hand in hand to death, and all is vain,
What shall assuage the unforgotten pain
And teach the unforgetful to forget?
~
Boş arzu sonunda boş pişmanlıkla
Elele gidince ölüme, herşey boşalınca,
Ne dindirebilir ki unutulmamış acıyı
Ve öğretebilir unutmamışa unutmayı?"
Babies don’t remember when their mothers aren’t perfect.

In most of the denominations, evangelicals formed a conservative minority, so that about one-third of the 36 million Protestants in the national council were evangelical. When these were added to about 33 million evangelicals outside the council, the so-called private Protestants constituted a major religious body, close in number to the 46 million Roman Catholics.
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
Harassed by the Gestapo and repudiated by most Protestant leaders, the Confessing Church led a perilous existence. In 1935 no fewer than seven hundred Confessing Church pastors were arrested. The movement’s presence was an embarrassment to the Nazis, and its witness to Christ’s lordship over the world implicitly challenged Hitler’s totalitarianism.
When it was obvious that Hitler’s friend Ludwig Müller had failed to unite the Protestant churches, the Führer turned more and more to his anti-Christian Nazis, who claimed that Nazism represented the true fulfillment of Christianity. In 1935 the Nazis created their own Ministry of Church Affairs under a Nazi lawyer, Hanns Kerrl. When Kerrl met resistance from churchmen, he declared, “National Socialism is the doing of God’s will. God’s will reveals itself in German blood. True Christianity is represented by the party.”
It is a shame for the soul to be first to give away in this life, when thy body does not give away.
