Lexington Quotes

• En cuanto a la historia de la revolución, mis ideas pueden ser peculiares, tal vez singulares. ¿Qué entendemos por revolución? ¿La guerra? Eso no fue parte de la revolución; fue sólo un efecto y consecuencia de ella. La revolución estaba en la mente del pueblo, y esto se llevó a cabo desde 1760 hasta 1775, en el transcurso de quince años, antes de que se derramara una gota de sangre en Lexington.

• Though Lexington is not a small town, it sometimes feels like one, with circles of acquaintance overlapping once, then again; the person you meet by chance at the library or the pool may turn out to be the best friend of your down-the-street neighbor. Maybe thats why people are so friendly here, so willing to be unhurried.

• July 4, 1776 was the historic day on which the representatives of three millions of people vocalized Concord, and Lexington, and Bunker Hill, which gave notice to the world that they proposed to establish an independent nation on the theory that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

• No haré ningún elogio de Massachusetts; no lo necesita. Ahí está. Contempladla y juzgad por vosotros mismos. Ahí está su historia; el mundo la conoce de memoria. El pasado, al menos, es seguro. Ahí están Boston, Concord, Lexington y Bunker Hill, y ahí permanecerán para siempre.

• I'm no expert in what country artists go through or how country audiences would react, but I'll say that the work I did to put myself in Will Lexington's shoes absolutely led me to believe that it would ruin his career. Meanwhile, I was getting lots of supportive messages saying, "Will Lexington should just come out! It's 2015 already, audiences are going to embrace it!"

• People really do identify with the characters they see on the show, but these days, social media allows you to interact with fans in a really interesting way. On my Twitter account, I'm Chris Carmack, not Will Lexington. I interact with fans and joke with them. I'll post pictures from my life. I think that helps drop the curtain of a character.

• ...quite simply, I was in love with New York. I do not mean “love” in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city, the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again. I remember walking across Sixty-second Street one twilight that first spring, or the second spring, they were all alike for a while. I was late to meet someone but I stopped at Lexington Avenue and bought a peach and stood on the corner eating it and knew that I had come out out of the West and reached the mirage.

• ʺ¿Dónde está?ʺ pregunté. ʺLexington, Kentucky.ʺ ʺPor el amor de Dios,ʺ gemí. ¿Por qué no las Bahamas? ¿O el Palacio del Maíz?ʺ Dimitri trató de ocultar una sonrisa. Puede que fuera a mi costa, pero si le había levantado el ánimo, se lo agradecía. ʺSi salimos ahora mismo, podremos llegar hasta él antes de que amanezca.ʺ Miré a mi alrededor. ʺDifícil elección. Dejar todo esto por la electricidad y la fontanería?ʺ Ahora Sydney sonrió. ʺY no más propuestas de matrimonio.ʺ ʺY probablemente tendremos que luchar contra Strigoi,ʺ añadió Dimitri. Me puse en pie de un salto. ʺ¿Cuándo podemos irnos?ʺ

• Si alguien, entonces, me pregunta el significado de nuestra bandera, yo le digo: Significa exactamente lo que significaron Concord y Lexington, lo que significó Bunker Hill; significa toda la gloriosa Guerra Revolucionaria, que fue, en pocas palabras, el levantamiento de un valiente pueblo joven contra una vieja tiranía, para establecer la doctrina más trascendental que el mundo haya conocido jamás: el derecho de los hombres a sí mismos y a sus libertades.

• Declaro que la guerra civil es inevitable y está cerca. Cuando llegue, los descendientes de los héroes de Lexington y Bunker Hill serán iguales en patriotismo, valor y resistencia heroica a los descendientes de los héroes de Cowpens y Yorktown. Por esta razón, predigo que la guerra civil que se avecina será obstinada y de larga duración.
