I want to live in order to think and suffer

Pushkin A.S.

Phraseologism: I want to live in order to think and suffer.

Meaning: About a life full of emotions and passions.

Origin: From the poem "Elegy" ("Crazy years faded fun ...", 1830) by A. S. Pushkin (1799-1837): "But I don't want to die, oh my friends, // I want to live in order to think and suffer, // And I know, I will have pleasures // Between sorrows, worries and anxieties: // Sometimes I will get drunk with harmony again, // I will shed tears over fiction, // And maybe - on my sad sunset // Love will flash with a farewell smile.

Random phraseology:

By right of the strong.

Meaning:

The solution of some issue by the threat of the use of force.

Origin:

From the history of ancient Rome. According to the ancient Greek historian Plutarch (c. 45 - c. 127), once the Gauls (tribes that lived in ancient times on the territory of modern France) crossed the Alps and invaded Italy. The inhabitants of the city of Clusium, besieged by them, called for the help of the Romans. The Roman ambassadors asked the Gallic leader Brennus (XNUMXth century BC) to make peace with the inhabitants of this city, since they were old allies of the Romans. Brenn agreed, but demanded a compensation from the city of Clusium - part of its fertile land with vineyards. The Romans were indignant: "But by what right do you take away the lands from their rightful owners?" To which Brenn replied with the words that became the famous historical phrase: We carry our right at the end of our sword. The whole world belongs to the strong! The next day a battle began between the Gauls and the Clusiumians. The Roman ambassadors, breaking the customs of war, also joined the ranks of their allies. Noticing this, Brennus immediately stopped the battle and turned to the Roman Senate with a demand to extradite him ambassadors who had violated the laws of war. The Senate responded with a mocking refusal. Then Brennus moved his troops against the Romans and, having utterly defeated them in the first battle, captured their capital - Rome. On the basis of Brenn's phrase, the expression "the right of the strong" was formed - to do something according to the right of the strong, etc.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
