Beard Quotes - Page 8

• "Si me pagaras por trabajar", continuó Max, cuya retórica era más sofisticada de lo que cabría esperar de un hombre con comida en la barba, "no tendría por qué sentirme inútil. No hay ninguna ley que diga que los viejos tengan que sentirse inútiles todo el tiempo, ¿sabes? Si me pagaras, tendría algo de dignidad". Ahora le tocó a Mile asentir y sonreír complacido. "Creo que el barco de la dignidad zarpó hace mucho tiempo, papá".

• My Lord, I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offense against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fir which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornement for a human face. Is it possible that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat? -Mandorallen

• Growing up in Alaska, they don't really teach you to swim there. I learned to swim just a few summers ago with Olympic gold medalist Amanda Beard. She did great, and right after that I went to get scuba certified. I had fun with it. I didn't really get scared, but some people thought that was a risk.

• Una pierna buena se caerá; una espalda recta se encorvará; una barba negra se volverá blanca; una coronilla rizada se volverá calva; un rostro hermoso se marchitará; un ojo lleno se ahuecará: pero un buen corazón, Kate, es el sol y la luna; o, más bien, el sol, y no la luna, - porque brilla intensamente, y nunca cambia, sino que mantiene su curso verdaderamente.

• ¡Arde, arde árbol y helecho! ¡Arruga y quema! Una antorcha efervescente Para iluminar la noche para nuestro deleite, ¡Ya hey! Horneadlos y tostadlos, freídlos y asadlos, hasta que las barbas ardan y los ojos se vidrien, hasta que el pelo huela y las pieles se agrieten, la grasa se derrita y los huesos negros en cenizas yazcan bajo el cielo. Así morirán los enanos, e iluminarán la noche para nuestro deleite, ¡Ya hey! ¡Ya-harri-hey! ¡Ya hoy!

• Si tuviera que elegir entre las dos formas de acercarme a la deidad, preferiría la relacional existencial a la filosófica abstracta. Creo que es más verdadero, o en todo caso menos engañoso, decir que Dios es un viejo judío de barba blanca al que amo, que decir que Dios es el fundamento del ser y del sentido, o decir que Dios es un nombre que denota el misterio último. Prefiero los atrevidos colores primitivos de la forma bíblica de describir a Dios.

• Except during my childhood, when I was probably influenced by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel depiction of God with a flowing white beard, I have never tried to project the Creator in any kind of human likeness. The vociferous debates about whether God is male or female seem ridiculous to me. I think of God as an omnipotent and omniscient presence, a spirit that permeates the universe, the essence of truth, nature, being, and life. To me, these are profound and indescribable concepts that seem to be trivialized when expressed in words.

• With The Host, I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. Id love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing... Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay.

• In their censures of luxury the fathers are extremely minute and circumstantial; and among the various articles which excite their pious indignation, we may enumerate false hair, garments of any colour except white, instruments of music, vases of gold or silver, downy pillows, white bread, foreign wines, public salutations, the use of warm baths, and the practice of shaving the beard, which, according to Tertullian, is a lie against our own faces, and am impious attempt to improve the works of the Creator.
