Stiff Upper Lip Quotes

• Cielos, si pudiera entenderte, chaval, que la depresión no es sollozar y llorar y desahogarse, es simple y llanamente reducción de sentimientos. Reducción, ¿ves? De todo sentimiento. La gente que mantiene los labios tiesos descubre que es muy difícil sonreír.

• Es una peculiaridad de la cultura noruega y también de la inglesa y americana, que los hombres no deben llorar. El labio superior rígido y todo eso. Pero los vikingos lloraban como mujeres en público o en privado. Ponían sus barbas en remojo y no se avergonzaban de ello. Sin embargo, eran tan rápidos para desenvainar sus espadas como para derramar lágrimas. Así que, ¿qué es toda esta mierda de que los hombres tienen que contener su dolor, pena y decepción?

• I like a tranquil, even-keeled, self-controlled God. A God who doesn't fly off the handle at the least provocation. A God who lives one step above the fray. A God who has that British stiff upper lip even when disaster is looming. When I read my Bible, though, I keep running into a different God, and I'm not pleased. This God says he "hates" sin. Well, he usually yells it. Read the prophets. It's just one harangue after another, all in loud decibels. And when the shouting is over, then comes the pouting. ... When all else fails, he throws himself in front of the car.

• It was part of war; men died, more would die, that was past, and what mattered now was the business in hand; those who lived would get on with it. Whatever sorrow was felt, there was no point in talking or brooding about it, much less in making, for form's sake, a parade of it. Better and healthier to forget it, and look to tomorrow.The celebrated British stiff upper lip, the resolve to conceal emotion which is not only embarrassing and useless, but harmful, is just plain commons sense
