Fav quotes from book you've read

Featured Replies

Any book, no limits

I'll post them later, I need to ponder about them and then translate

well it's from a poesy book Of Arthur RIMBAUD, the best french poet in my sig, if it still counts

the poem is called " le dormeur du val" my favourite

 

the quote in french "Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine

Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au coté droit."

translation: "he is sleeping under the sun, his hand on his chest

Quiet. He has got two red holes on the right side"

From A Clockwork Orange (by Anthony Burgess):

"What's it going to be then, eh?"

"Oh, it was gorgeosity and yumyumyum" - Regarding Beethoven's Ninth.

And basically the rest of that genius of a writing in a book.

 

Also the last line from 1984 (by George Orwell), which I won't mention now as it's best I don't ruin it for people here.

 

 

I'm sure there are many others, but I can't remember them ALL now.

I have SO many. I have this journal where I just write down random quotes from movies, shows, books....everything. I'll share some of them soon :)

Yes, I’ve surrendered to this thought’s insistence,

The last word Wisdom ever has to say:

He only earns his Freedom and Existence,

Who’s forced to win them freshly every day.

 

We live our life amongst refracted colour.

 

 

The Emperor- And, if you lie, then send you down to Hell!-

Mephistopheles- I’ll find the way there anyway –

 

 

All from Goethe's Faust, I shall post others later

When your eyes are tired

the world is tired also.

When your vision is gone

no part of the world can find you.

Time to go into the dark

where the night has eyes

to recognize its own.

There you can be sure

you are not beyond love..

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet

confinement of your aloneness

to learn

anything or anyone

that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.

 

- David White, from "Sweet Darkness"

oh...awesome thread.

 

 

"...nothing has ever been more insufferable for man and for human society than freedom! But do you see these stones in the bare, scorching desert? Turn them into bread and mankind will run after you like sheep, grateful and obedient, though eternally trembling lest you withdraw your hand and your leaves cease for them." But you did not want to deprive man of freedom and rejected the offer, for what sort of freedom is it, you reasoned, if obedience is bought with loaves of bread?"

 

"Who wants to know this damned good and evil at such a price? The whole world of knowledge is not worth the tears of that little child to 'dear God.' I'm not talking about the suffering of grown-ups, they ate the apple and to hell with them, let the devil take them all, but these little ones! I'm tormenting you, Alyoshka, you don't look yourself. I'll stop if you wish."

"Never mind, I want to suffer too," Alyosha murmured.

 

"I think everyone should love life before everything else in the world."

"Love life more than its meaning?"

"Certainly, love it before logic, as you say, certainly before logic, and only then will I also understand its meaning."

 

"It's not God that I don't accept, Alyosha, I just most respectfully return him the ticket."

 

All from The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoyevsky

I'll be reading that one soon (Karamazov brothers)

I read one in year 4, and I didn't read books, but this book, from cover to cover, It was about King Arthur, it was wicked. But I dont know what it was called.

*bumps*

come on people think!

a lady (to a man taking a pill): "Get it hard, but if you overdose, watch out for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy"

 

in short--check if you get fucking blind.
