Besides that, Sarahí shared with us her experience of studying in the U.S. and Germany, the way she applied for her doctorate scholarship & other things. We appreciate the time that you take to visit us Sarahí, Vielen Dank !!!


The Great Dictator

I LOVE THIS SHORT SCENE FROM "THE GREAT DICTATOR", how true is the reallity exposed by Chaplin? I PERSONALLY NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE, IT's AMAZING¡¡¡

Some of the most liked quotes:

- Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to these brutes who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle and use you as cannon fodder!

- You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

- Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!

- MORE THAN MACHINERY, WE NEED HUMANITY, MORE THAN CLEVERNESS, WE NEED KINDNESS AND GENTLENESS!!!
