Cottages Quotes - Page 4

• A la gente le gusta inventar monstruos y monstruosidades. Así ellos mismos parecen menos monstruosos. Cuando se emborrachan, engañan, roban, pegan a sus mujeres, matan de hambre a una anciana, cuando matan con un hacha a un zorro atrapado o acribillan a flechazos al último unicornio que queda, les gusta pensar que el Demonio que entra en las casas de campo al amanecer es más monstruoso que ellos. Entonces se sienten mejor. Les resulta más fácil vivir.

  Andrzej Sapkowski

  Sentirse Mejor, Pensar, Flechas

• I wasn't used to living crowded cheek by jowl with numbers of other people, as was customary here. People ate, slept, and frequently copulated, crammed into tiny, stifling cottages, lit and warmed by smoky peat fires. The only thing they didn't do together was bathe - largely because they didn't bathe.

• Oh,' she said, too bone-weary to pretend: 'I would far rather that I love you as I saw yesterday I do than that I had gone on worshiping you as I did not long since.' And she turned away hastily, and did not see that Little John would reach out to her; and half-running, went to Tuck's cottage, where she could pull on her half-dry clothes, and become a proper outlaw again. At least, she thought, fighting back tears, like this I am Cecil, with a place among friends, and a task to do. I am someone. I wonder if perhaps if I am no longer Cecil, I am no one at all.

• I prayed all the way up that hill yesterday, he said softly. Not for you to stay; I didna think that would be right. I prayed I'd be strong enough to send ye away. He shook his head, still gazing up the hill, a faraway look in his eyes. I said 'Lord, if I've never had courage in my life before, let me have it now. Let me be brave enough not to fall on my knees and beg her to stay.' He pulled his eyes away from the cottage and smiled briefly at me. Hardest thing I ever did, Sassenach.

• Sabemos que el verano es la cumbre de la vida. No creemos en Dios ni en la perspectiva de una vida después de la muerte, así que sabemos que sólo tenemos ochenta veranos más o menos en la vida, y cada uno tiene que ser mejor que el anterior, tiene que incluir un viaje a ese centro de arte en Bard, un partido de bádminton aparentemente tranquilo en la casa de campo de algún desconocido en Vermont, y un viaje en kayak fresco, húmedo y ligeramente peligroso por un río implacable. Si no, ¿cómo sabrías que has vivido tu mejor verano? ¿Y si te has perdido algún bocado de nirvana a la sombra?

• The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher. Will you deny yourself comfort at the hearthfire of a cottage because you may no longer sit by the fireplace of a palace? Will you deny yourself to those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your hearthfire?

• Sin embargo, como los niños son niños, el grotesco caldero saltarín se había apoderado de su imaginación. La solución fue deshacerse de la moraleja pro-muggle pero mantener el caldero verrugoso, de modo que a mediados del siglo XVI una versión diferente del cuento circulaba ampliamente entre las familias de magos. En la historia revisada, el caldero saltarín protege a un mago inocente de sus vecinos, que portan antorchas y horcas, ahuyentándolos de la cabaña del mago, atrapándolos y tragándoselos enteros.

• La mía es una disposición de lo más apacible. Mis deseos son: una humilde casita con techo de paja, pero una buena cama, buena comida, la leche y la mantequilla más frescas, flores ante mi ventana, y unos cuantos árboles hermosos ante mi puerta; y si Dios quiere que mi felicidad sea completa, me concederá la dicha de ver a unos seis o siete de mis enemigos colgados de esos árboles. Antes de morir les perdonaré, conmovido en mi corazón, todo el mal que me hicieron en vida. Uno debe, es cierto, perdonar a sus enemigos... pero no antes de que hayan sido ahorcados.

• Your love in a cottage is hungry,
  Your vine is a nest for flies-
  Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
  And simplicity talks of pies!
  You lie down to your shady slumber
  And wake with a bug in your ear,
  And your damsel that walks in the morning
  Is shod like a mountaineer.

• How often I admire the taste shown in the garden which, within the house, may be indifferent. Here is an art which is today probably more perfect than at any previous time, one which does not break with the past, while it brings a sense of comely order, and a radiant beauty, to cottage and manor alike.

• A visitor to Niels Bohr's country cottage, noticing a horseshoe hanging on the wall, teasing the eminent scientist about this ancient superstition. "Can it be true that you, of all people, believe it will bring you luck?'

• Going to Europe, someone had written, was about as final as going to heaven. A mystical passage to another life, from which no-one returned the same. Those returning in such ships were invincible, for they had managed it and could reflect ever after on Anne Hathaway's Cottage or the Tower of London with a confidence that did generate at Sydney. There was nothing mythic at Sydney; momentous objects, beings and events all occurred abroad or in the elsewhere of books.

• After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.
