Admiration Quotes - Page 15

• As a general rule, fans and idols should always be kept at arm's length, the length of the arm to be proportionate to the degree of sheer idolatry involved. Don't take a Beatle to lunch. Don't wait up to see if the Easter Bunny is real. Just enjoy the egg hunt.

• I have a certain admiration for Vladimir Putin because he doesn't allow decisions to be forced upon him by other countries. I think he focuses first and foremost on what is good for Russia and the Russians. As such, I have the same respect for Putin that I do for Ms. Merkel.

• Todavía dejamos sin borrar en las hojas de nuestro libro de estatutos, para la reverencia y admiración de épocas sucesivas, la ley justa y saludable que declara que el delincuente robusto será alimentado y vestido, y que el deudor sin dinero será dejado morir de hambre y desnudez. Esto no es ficción.

• La vanidad está tan anclada en el corazón del hombre que un soldado, un sirviente de un soldado, un cocinero, un portero alardea y desea tener sus admiradores. Incluso los filósofos los desean. Los que escriben contra la vanidad desean tener la gloria de haber escrito bien; y los que lo leen desean la gloria de haberlo leído. Yo, que escribo esto, tal vez tenga este deseo, y tal vez los que lo lean.

• At a certain age, we have already been struck by love; it no longer develops alone, according to its own mysteries and fateful laws while our hearts stand by startled and passive. We come to its assistanceRecognizing one of its symptoms, we recall, we bring back to life the others. Since we possess its song engraved in its totality within us, we do not need for a woman to tell us the beginning--filled with admiration inspired by beauty--to find the continuation.

• Addison escribe con la soltura de un caballero. Sus lectores tienen la impresión de que un compañero sabio y consumado les está hablando, de modo que insinúa sus sentimientos y su gusto en sus mentes mediante una influencia imperceptible. Johnson escribe como un maestro. Dicta a sus lectores como desde una cátedra académica. Los lectores le escuchan con asombro y admiración, y sus preceptos quedan impresos en ellos por su elocuencia imponente. El estilo de Addison, como un vino ligero, agrada a todos desde el primer momento. El de Johnson, como un licor con más cuerpo, parece demasiado fuerte al principio, pero, poco a poco, gusta mucho.

• The Iraqi Baath Socialist Party was modelled in large part on admiration for European National Socialist and Fascist movements, hoped to emulate them especially in their nationalism against the West. But mutated by Saddam Hussein it became also one that very, very much admired, and grew a special moustache in admiration of the work of Yosif Vissarionovitch Dzugashvili, the great Georgian known to us historically as Stalin. So you had him in modern Iraq, a regime in our own time, that was openly, directly modelled upon the two most extreme examples of European totalitarianism.

• When I was in office I expressed admiration and respect and even affection for Republicans that I knew and liked and cared about, and I tried to find ways to work with them. I think the Democrats should do that, and just keep trying to lower the temperature.

• Me parece interesante ver cómo la gente, en su mayoría más joven que yo, se toma muchas molestias para intentar reproducir cosas de una época que era mucho más física, de una época menos virtual. Eso me fascina, porque parece simbolizar algo que ocurre en la propia cultura, y también siento una especie de admiración innata por la obstinación que requiere hacer esas cosas físicamente. Se ha vuelto increíblemente difícil. En Norteamérica, hemos olvidado en gran medida cómo hacerlo.

• It is characteristic to believe that those in need are given to, that the squeaky hinge is the one that gets the oil, but in the realm of emotions this is not so. It is the person who does not solicit liking and love, admiration and respect, sympathy and empathy to whom they are freely given.

• . . . porque la belleza
  En la admiración sólo de mentes débiles
  cautivas. Deja de admirar, y todas sus plumas
  Caen planos y se encogen en un juguete trivial,
  A cada desprecio repentino bastante abash'd.

• Sigo sin sentir que conozco a Hitchcock del todo. Me parece que cuanto más mira uno, más difícil se vuelve. Pero mi admiración por Hitchcock como cineasta no ha disminuido. Es un gigante del cine y la oscuridad que hay en él informa su lenguaje cinematográfico. No se puede separar una cosa de la otra.

• I have a profound admiration for Fellini. I met him lately and he's just fantastic. I feel very close to him even though he's very Italian. But his films could have been made in every country. When I say, I feel close to him, then also because we're both born on January 20th.
