Oath Quotes - Page 11

• [Speaking] is never without fear; of visibility, of the harsh light of scrutiny and perhaps judgment, of pain, of death. But we have lived through all of those already, in silence, except death. And I remind myself all the time now, that if I were to have been born mute, and had maintained an oath of silence my whole life for safety, I would still have suffered, and I would still die.

• El rey está tan obligado por su juramento a no infringir los derechos legales del pueblo, como el pueblo está obligado a someterse a él. De donde se deduce que tan pronto como el príncipe se coloca por encima de la ley, pierde el rey en el tirano. A todos los efectos, se des-reyiza a sí mismo.

• El acceso al conocimiento es el acto supremo de las grandes civilizaciones. De todas las instituciones que pretenden hacerlo, las bibliotecas gratuitas son prácticamente las únicas que cumplen esta misión. Ningún comité decide quién puede entrar, ninguna crisis de cuerpo o espíritu debe acompañar al ingresante. No se cobra matrícula, no se hace juramento, no se exige visado. De los monumentos que los humanos construyen para sí mismos, muy pocos dicen: tócame, úsame, mi silencio no es indiferencia, mi espacio no es barrera. Si suscito asombro, es porque me asombro de ti y de las posibilidades que en ti habitan.

  Toni Morrison

• I add my oath of protection to the bone,' he said in a whisper. 'To you now and to any child you may bear in the future. I would trade no day I spend with you for a life of safe slavery. I accepted the post of Seeker of my own free will. And if Darken Rahl takes the whole world into madness, then we will die with a sword in our hands, not chains on our wings. We will not allow it to be easy for them to kill us; they will pay a high price.

• On the day I swore to uphold the Hippocratic oath, the small hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I waited for lightning to strike. Who was I, vowing calmly among all these necktied young men to steal life out of nature's jaws, every old time we got half a chance and a paycheck?... I could not accept the contract: that every child born human upon this earth comes with a guarantee of perfect health and old age clutched in its small fist.
