Melancholy Quotes - Page 8

• When I write, I tend toward melancholy, and the few times that I've tried pure joy in music, it doesn't really work that well. The joy can be through catharsis. I think that's what I do well, and observation.

  Michael Stipe

• Yet I experienced sometimes that the most sweet and tender, the most innocent and encouraging society may be found in any naturalobject, even for the poor misanthrope and most melancholy man. There can be no very black melancholy to him who lives in the midst of nature and has his senses still.

• El hombre es más él mismo, el hombre es más hombre, cuando la alegría es lo fundamental en él, y la pena lo superficial. La melancolía debe ser un interludio inocente, un estado de ánimo tierno y fugitivo; la alabanza debe ser la pulsación permanente del alma.

• Only one thing bothered me: at this very moment, as they say, of inexplicable bliss there would be a sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach and my abdomen would be assailed by a melancholy, cold shivering. In the end I couldn't abide such happiness and ran away.

• Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. Doth any man doubt that, if there were taken out of men's minds vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like, but it would leave the minds of a number of men poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves?

• Debes considerar que cierta melancolía y a menudo cierta irascibilidad acompañan a la edad avanzada: de hecho, podría decirse que la edad avanzada es igual al mal humor. Al llegar a la edad madura, un hombre percibe que ya no es capaz de hacer ciertas cosas, que la apariencia que pudo haber tenido le abandona, que tiene una barriga pesada y grande, y que por mucho que arda ya no es atractivo para las mujeres; y se rebela. La fortaleza, la resignación y la filosofía valen más que cualquier pastilla, roja, blanca o azul.

• Once more their weird laughter of the loons comes to my ear, the distance lends it a musical, melancholy sound. For a dangerous ledge off the lighthouse island floats in on the still air the gentle trolling of a warning bell as it swings on the rocking buoy; it might be tolling for the passing of summer and sweet weather with that persistent, pensive chime.

  Celia Thaxter

• Sex endows the individual with a dumb and powerful instinct, which carries his body and soul continually towards another, makes it one of the dearest employments of his life to select and pursue a companion, and joins to possession the keenest pleasure, to rivalry the fiercest rage, and to solicitude an eternal melancholy. What more could be needed to suffuse the world with the deepest meaning and beauty?

• Dondequiera que dirijamos nuestra vista, descubrimos las melancólicas pruebas de nuestra depravación; ya sea que miremos a los tiempos antiguos o modernos, a las naciones bárbaras o civilizadas, a la conducta del mundo que nos rodea, o al monitor dentro del pecho; ya sea que leamos, o escuchemos, o actuemos, o pensemos, o sintamos, la misma lección humillante se impone sobre nosotros.

• I am sometimes accused by my peers of printing my pictures too dark. All I can say is that it goes with the mood of melancholy that is induced by witnessing at close quarters such intractable situations of conflict and joylessness.

• La libertad sólo se encuentra allí donde hay una carga que soportar. En las realizaciones creativas, esta carga representa siempre un imperativo y una necesidad que pesa sobre el estado de ánimo del hombre, de modo que llega a estar en un estado de melancolía. Toda acción creadora reside en un estado de ánimo melancólico, seamos o no claramente conscientes de ello, hablemos largo y tendido de ello o no. Toda acción creativa reside en un estado de ánimo melancólico, pero esto no quiere decir que todos los que están en un estado de ánimo melancólico sean creativos.

  Martin Heidegger

• No tengo ni la melancolía del erudito, que es emulación; ni la del músico, que es fantasía; ni la del cortesano, que es orgullo; ni la del soldado, que es ambición; ni la del abogado, que es política; ni la de la dama, que es simpatía; ni la del amante, que es todo eso: sino que es una melancolía propia, compuesta de muchos simples, extraída de muchos objetos, y de hecho de la diversa contemplación de mis viajes, que, rumiando a menudo, me envuelve en una tristeza de lo más humorística.

  William Shakespeare
