Zitat des Tages über Gesten / Gestures:
The starting point for understanding the deterioration in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia lies in Washington rather than Moscow. After 1989, Russia was a defeated power.

But I had reached a point where the gestures of even my friends among the whites were suspect, so I had to go or be forever lost.
Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.
