Boyhood Quotes - Page 3

• There was a saying that the strength of a man’s steel was only known under the hammer of circumstance. If anyone had asked me a few hours ago, I would have said that nearly five years of boyhood had hammered me into constant fear and excessive caution. But now I realised it had done the opposite. It had shaped me into someone who stepped forwards and reached for what she wanted. It was too late for me to tuck my hands behind my back and wait like a good woman.

• Una de las tragedias de nuestros días es que demasiados niños están creciendo sin la guía de un padre, o de otro hombre, que les muestre cómo es acabar con esas cosas de niños. Como resultado, a menudo pasan a la adolescencia y luego a la edad adulta con aspecto de hombres, pero siguen hablando, razonando y comportándose como niños.

• Cuando el padre muere, escribe, el hijo se convierte en su propio padre y en su propio hijo. Mira a su hijo y se ve a sí mismo en el rostro del niño. Imagina lo que el niño ve cuando le mira y se encuentra a sí mismo convirtiéndose en su propio padre. Inexplicablemente, esto le conmueve. No es sólo la visión del niño lo que le conmueve, ni siquiera la idea de estar dentro de su padre, sino lo que ve en el niño de su propio pasado desaparecido. Es una nostalgia de su propia vida lo que siente, tal vez, un recuerdo de su propia niñez como hijo de su padre.

• Romance is the truth of imagination and boyhood. Homer's horses clear the world at a bound. The child's eye needs no horizon to its prospect. The oriental tale is not too vast. Pearls dropping from trees are only falling leaves in autumn. The palace that grew up in a night merely awakens a wish to live in it. The impossibilities of fifty years are the commonplaces of five.

• Estaba pensando en eso. Estaba pensando, esto es como nuestro Boyhood; esto es como nuestra reunión durante 12 años para hacer - ¡esto es nuestro Apehood! Quiero decir, ¡esto es todo! Para mí, las relaciones, todas esas cosas, durante un periodo de tiempo tan largo ahora con actores, pero también ver a los personajes crecer, desarrollarse y cambiar, y pasar por diferentes situaciones.

• It's interesting to get older and realize that part of your job growing up in this profession is to help the next generation. More and more, with Boyhood and with Ellar Coltrane and with Emma [Watson], I start to see that role. There's no better way. Nobody wants advice, so you can't really give it. You just have to try to wish them well on their journey.

• The progress from infancy to boyhood is imperceptible. In that long dawn of the mind we take but little heed. The years pass by us, one by one, little distinguishable from each other. But when the intellectual sun of our life is risen, we take due note of joy and sorrow.

• Men spoke much in my boyhood about restricted or ruined men of genius: and it was common to say that many a man was a Great Might-Have-Been. To me it's a more solid and startling fact that any man in the street is a Great Might-Not-Have-Been.

• I came out of a culture in which my uncle, my father - they were all salesmen of one kind or another. My father was a manufacturer. He also, in effect, had to sell that stuff. And if he didn't literally do it, his men did. So, selling was in the air through my boyhood. The whole idea of successfully selling was very important.

• Nunca, nunca, ante el Cielo, he pensado en ti sino como el único, brillante, puro y bendito recuerdo de mi niñez y mi juventud. Nunca desde el principio, y nunca hasta el final, he considerado tu parte en mi vida, sino como algo sagrado, nunca para ser pensado a la ligera, nunca para ser estimado lo suficiente, nunca, hasta la muerte, para ser olvidado.

• If you're lucky enough to fall in love, that's one thing. Otherwise all that was ever truly beautiful to me was boyhood. It's the meal we sup on for the rest of our lives. Love puts the icing on life. But if you don't find it...you must call on your childhood memories over and over till you do.
