Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction -Pope Benedict XVI

No contribution of my own, but just wanted to say that I really enjoy these threads. 
Thank you.
Thank you.“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”

My mom loved that movie. She had a music box that played a song from the soundtrack. :)

Good! Because there should be more of them! Places to share beautiful passions and have fun.

In one of Guy de Maupassant’s short story "Fou?" ("Mad?" - the Hungarian title is "Am I mad?"), a man is jealous of his wife’s relationship to her horse; in the story he kills both.
(I didn't find it in English. You can read a few word about it here.)
