Zitat des Tages über Oratorium / Oratory:
Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
In oratory the will must predominate.
The object of oratory alone in not truth, but persuasion.
The sense of war, the extraordinary bravery of the Allied armies, the numbers, the losses, the real suffering that disappears in time and commemorative oratory, are not marked out in any red guidebook of the emotions, but they are present if you look.
