| Zar’s Favorite Quotations in Semi-chronological and Semi-thematic Order: “Alors, voilà, cela commence. . . . La petite Antigone va pouvoir être elle-même pour la première fois.” -Le chœur in Jean Anouilh’s Antigone “Up in the heavens there shines a new star; it’s shining brightly and lights up the night leading the way to a wonderful sight.” -from “Hear Ye The Message” “Cowards die many times before their mortal deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” -The Divine Imperator Gaius Julius Caesar the Liberator and Father of the Fatherland in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar “The purpose of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.” -from “The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen” “‘The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.’” -Emperor Napoleon I the Great of the French quoting a Roman emperor “All praise be yours, my Lord, through those who grant pardon for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial. Happy those who endure in peace, by you, Most High, they will be crowned. All praise be yours, my Lord, through Sister Death, from whom no mortal can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin!” -from “The Canticle of Brother Sun” by Saint Francis of Assisi “‘I wanted to make it a law that only those lawyers and attorneys should receive fees who had won their cases. How much litigation would have been prevented by such a measure! For it is quite obvious that there is not a lawyer who, after a first look at the case, would not turn it down if it seemed doubtful. It need not be feared that a man who earns his living from his work might take on a case for the simple pleasure of hearing himself talk; yet even if he did, he would harm no one but himself. . . . I am convinced to this day that the idea is brilliant.’” -Emperor Napoleon I the Great of the French “The only thing that evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” -attributed to Edmund Burke “Great tragedy is the school of great men.” -Emperor Napoleon I the Great of the French “Death is nothing; but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day.” -Emperor Napoleon I the Great of the French “‘But I don't want to go among mad people,’ Alice remarked. ‘Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I'm mad. You’re mad.’ ‘How do you know I'm mad?’ said Alice. ‘You must be,’ said the Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.’” -from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll “A beautiful woman pleases the eyes, a good woman the heart. The first is a jewel, the second a treasure.” -Emperor Napoleon I the Great of the French “Ma tendre amie, si tu veux bien, j'aimerais te prendre par la main et t'entraîner vers les étoiles, les yeux dans les yeux, brillant de mille feux, car la lumière d'un amour éternel est vraiment la plus belle.” -Jack and Sally in L’etrange Noel de Monsieur Jack “L’amour unit ceux qu’enchaînait le fer.” -from “Cantique de Noël” by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure “Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb.” -from “We Three Kings” by Reverend John Henry Hopkins “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before . . .” -from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe “From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum, from the deep sea of clouds to the island of the moon, carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never been, carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never seen.” -from “Orinoco Flow” by Roma Ryan “His poor old father and his dear old mother oft times did warn of the gay city life, but along with those flash girls his money he squandered and along with those flash girls he took his delight.” -from “The Sailor Cut Down in His Prime” by Connie Dover “‘Long ago,’ he said, ‘long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more.’” -from “Winter Dreams” by F. Scott Fitzgerald “But when ye come, and all the flow’rs are dying, if I am dead, as dead I well may be. Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, and kneel and say an Ave there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me; and all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, for you will bend and tell me that you love me; and I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!” -from “Danny Boy” by Frederic Edward Weatherly “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.” -First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt of the United States of America “As Napoleon told me, ‘A strong will can fuel a frail physique.’” -Ra’s Al Ghul in “The Demon’s Quest, Part One” from Batman: The Animated Series by Dennis O’Neil “I believe a person would have to die if he continually had to feel that all he was was of no avail at all. What am I to do? I must try to become a better person.” -Anneliese Michel “We try until we succeed.” -Madame Marie-Claude Thomas Love Quotes It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what you see And if you stop to think about it I'm sure you'll find it's true All the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you >From a song by The Moody Blues Love is not a matter of counting the years... But making the years count. >Michelle St. Amand To love someone deeply Gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply Gives you courage >Lao Tzu I sought for Love But Love ran away from me. I sought my Soul But my Soul I couldn't see. Then I sought You, And I found all three. >Unknown Author You may only be one person to the world But you may also be the world to one person." > Unknown Author And you learn that love, true love, Always has joys and sorrow, Seems ever present, Yet is never quite the same, Becoming more than love and less than love, So difficult to define. And you learn that through it all, You really can endure, That you really are strong, That you do have value. > Unknown Author Young love: I love you because I need you. Mature Love: I need you because I love you. >Unknown Author Don't cry because it's over Smile because it happened. > Unknown Author Until I truly loved, I was alone. >Unknown Author It ain't love that hurts, It is the absence of it that does. >Unknown Author I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping, While you're far away and dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment I spend with you is a moment I treasure... >From the song "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" By Aerosmith Love exists only in the hearts of those who choose to acknowledge its existence... * Unknown Author You could do so much for me if you just would. If you just knew. I am I and you are you and I know it and you don't know it and you could do so much for me if you just would and if you just would then I could tell you and then nobody would have to know it except you and me. >William Faulkner - As I Lay Dying Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically to those who hardly think about us in return. >T.H. White Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare. The thought of you leaves me weak. There are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel. Then let me know that it's real. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. >From Can't Take my Eyes off You, a song by Frankie Vallie I really believe that if there's any kind of God, He wouldn't be in any one of us ---Not you, not me, But just in the space in between. If there's some magic in this world, It must be in the attempt Of understanding someone else, Sharing something. Even if it's almost impossible to succeed, But who cares,... The answer must be in the attempt. >Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise(movie) It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye. >The Little Prince by: Antoine De Saint-Exupery What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair, Touch your lips, to hold you near, When you say your prayers, Try to understand, I've made mistakes, I'm just a man... > Always, a song by Bon Jovi Absence diminishes little passions And increases great ones, As wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire. > Francois de La Rochefoucauld |
