Castles Quotes - Page 6

• Anyone who has walked through the deserted palaces of Versailles or Vienna realise how much of a part of the life of a nation is lost when a monarchy is abolished. If buckingham palace and windsor castle were transformed into museums, if one politician competed against another for president of the republic, Britain would be a sadder and less interesting place. Our politicians are not men such as could challenge more than a thousand years of history.

  William Rees-Mogg

• Los forasteros se han convertido en reyes y reinas del castillo. Es mucho más fácil sentarse fuera de la tienda y tirar petardos dentro; es mucho, mucho más difícil sentarse dentro de la tienda y gobernar no sólo a tus enemigos, sino también a tus amigos íntimos.

  Reinas, Reyes, Enemigos

• El hábito de construir castillos, el hábito de soñar despierto, ¡cómo crece! qué lujo se convierte; cómo volamos hacia sus encantos en cada momento ocioso, cómo nos deleitamos en ellos, empapamos nuestras almas en ellos, nos embriagamos con sus seductoras fantasías... oh, sí, y qué pronto y qué fácilmente nuestra vida onírica y nuestra vida material se entremezclan y se funden de tal manera que ya no podemos distinguir cuál es cuál.

• Conscience is the most sacred of all property; other property depending in part on positive law, the exercise of that being a natural and unalienable right. To guard a man's house as his castle, to pay public and enforce private debts with the most exact faith, can give no title to invade a man's conscience, which is more sacred than his castle, or to withhold from it that debt of protection for which the public faith is pledged by the very nature and original conditions of the social pact.

• For a while I thought I was the dragon. I guess I can tell you that now. And, for a while, I thought I was the princess, cotton candy pink, sitting there in my room, in the tower of the castle, young and beautiful and in love and waiting for you with confidence but the princess looks into her mirror and only sees the princess, while I’m out here, slogging through the mud, breathing fire, and getting stabbed to death. Okay, so I’m the dragon. Big deal. You still get to be the hero. You get magic gloves! A fish that talks! You get eyes like flashlights!

• Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may again touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey-castle sequence of bumpings-into and tumblings-apart.

• It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth . . . and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

• There are many things worth telling that are not quite narrative. And eternity itself possesses no beginning, middle or end. Fossils, arrowheads, castle ruins, empty crosses: from the Parthenon to the Bo Tree to a grown man's or woman's old stuffed bear, what moves us about many objects is not what remains but what has vanished. There comes a time, thanks to rivers, when a few beautiful old teeth are all that remain of the two-hundred-foot spires of life we call trees. There comes a river, whose current is time, that does a similar sculpting in the mind.

  David James Duncan

  Beautiful, Moving, Men

• Las palabras, a pesar de ser endebles e invisibles, tenían una gran fuerza. Podían fortificarse como la muralla de un castillo y afilarse como un florete. Podían morder, abofetear, conmocionar, herir. Pero, a diferencia de los hechos, las palabras no podían ayudarte realmente. Ninguna promesa rescataba a una persona; era el cumplimiento de la misma lo que traía la salvación.

• Los terrenos del castillo resplandecían a la luz del sol como recién pintados; el cielo despejado se sonreía a sí mismo en el lago suavemente centelleante, el césped verde satinado ondulaba de vez en cuando con una suave brisa: Había llegado junio.

• An old Arabian fable tells of a prince imprisoned in a castle which had thirteen windows. Twelve of these windows overlooked lovely scenes, while the thirteenth looked down on the black ash heaps of the city. Ignoring the twelve windows, the prince always looked out through the thirteenth. It is so often true that whether a person carries with him an atmosphere of gloom and depression or one of confidence and courage depends on his individual outlook.
