Английский язык онлайн самоучитель бесплатно. Представляем Вашему вниманию самоучитель английского языка, более эффективный, чем уроки английского с репетитором или на курсах иностранных языков. Вы сами определяете время и длительность своих занятий английским и Вам не нужно тратить время на дорогу к репетитору или на курсы. К тому же Вы экономите деньги за уроки английского и Вам не нужно подстраиваться к группе, потому как у каждого ученика свой уровень знаний английского и потому занятия в группах обычно дают мало эффекта.

My job is to work with nurses and help the people get dressed. Я хочу сделать что-нибудь полезное прежде, чем я поступлю в колледж в следующем году. Поэтому я собираюсь поработать в доме престарелых, как только окончу школу. Моя работа будет заключаться в работе с медсестрами и помощи людям одеваться и гулять с ними. Работа начинается в июле и длится, по меньшей мере, 9 месяцев. Я также буду жить в этом доме, пока буду там работать. Я буду работать, пока не скоплю достаточно денег на отпуск. Я собираюсь в Грецию с друзьями после того, как работа закончится. Я буду усталой, если у меня не будет отпуска перед тем, как семестр начнется. What will you do if you get chased by wild animals? What if you get sun burnt? What if you get lost in the bush? All those wild animals and mosquitoes! I just know I will! Have a good flight to Rio. What time will you get there? Rio time of course. But when you travel around the country will you remember to call us regularly? Make sure you phone twice a week. But you must look after yourself, darling. Oh, they are calling my flight. But I still failed the exam. She makes friends very easily. He is a rich man. I want to take a photo of you all. Take care of yourself. I get on well with her. Nowadays because travel is so cheap and easy most people have been abroad or are planning to go in a future. So it seems a very strange idea to many of us not to go anywhere. We find out why. We go and visit our friends and grandchildren and we go shopping. I have everything here. We live in a nice part of the world. I love my home. Going away is just too much trouble. There are delays at the airport, flights are cancelled. When you get home you have a mountain of mail and the grass needs cutting. Anyway you can see everything on TV these days. I was in the navy for five years. And I sailed around the world ten times. So I saw the world forty five years ago. I think there are too many people flying to too many places. We should try to look after what we have instead of trying to see it all before it disappears. But if I tell my boyfriend this he gets cross. He just wants us to have a holiday somewhere nice and hot. I am now speaking to Jean Claude, a French builder from Province. Tell me Jean Claude what is it about foreign travel that puts you off? What could be better? And what would I eat in America? I would be hungry all the time. That was enough for me. So she agrees with me. It takes all sorts to make a world. Итак, обычно мы берем интервью у людей, которые ездили в какое-нибудь интересное место, но сегодня мы общаемся с людьми, которые предпочитают оставаться дома. В наши дни, потому что путешествовать стало дешево и просто, большинство людей уже побывали за границей или планируют туда поехать в будущем. Поэтому это кажется очень странной идеей для многих из нас не ездить никуда. Итак, почему некоторые люди не любят путешествовать вовсе? Вот я сейчас нахожусь в маленьком коттедже Роджера и Мэри в деревушке Эйвэнфуд. Итак, вы оба на пенсии, не так ли? Итак, в чем проблема? Ну, проблема в том, что Роджер никуда не поедет. Вот у нас уже есть и время, и деньги, чтобы делать разные вещи, и я не могу вытащить его из дома! Мы ходим навещаем наших друзей и внуков и мы ходим за покупками. У нас все есть здесь. Мы живем в чудесной части света. Я люблю свой дом. Все мои друзья в этой деревне. Я всегда занят и мне никогда не скучно. Отъезд куда-то сопряжен с массой проблем. Рейсы откладываются или отменяются в аэропортах. Оно просто не стоит того. Когда вы приезжаете домой у вас гора писем и трава нуждается в подрезке. В любом случае, вы можете все увидеть по телевизору в наши дни. Я был во флоте 5 лет. И я плавал вокруг всего света 10 раз. Поэтому я видел мир 45 лет назад. Мне не нужно видеть его снова. Я сейчас с Анабель, которая работает в вегетарианском ресторане в Бристоле. Итак, почему вы не любите путешествовать, Анабель? Вам ничего не видно. И вы также разрушаете это место. Это плохо для окружающей среды. Я думаю, сейчас слишком много людей летает в слишком многие места. Это разрушает нашу планету. Нам следует стараться заботиться о том, что мы имеем, нежели пытаться увидеть все это прежде, чем оно исчезнет. Но когда я говорю об этом своему молодому человеку, он сердится. Он просто хочет, чтобы мы провели отпуск где-нибудь в теплом и чудесном месте. Сейчас я разговариваю с Жан Клодом, французским строителем из Прованса. Расскажи мне Жан Клод, что в зарубежных поездках вас отталкивает? Почему я должен ехать в другую страну, где еда не такая вкусная, вино не такое хорошее и климат не такой хороший? Во Франции есть все. Я езжу кататься на лыжах зимой в Альпах на лучших лыжных склонах в мире. И летом, когда так жарко, я езжу на Лазурный берег и плаваю в чудесном Средиземном море. Что может быть лучше? Не хотели бы вы съездить в США, например? Мне не нужно ехать так далеко. И что бы я ел в Америке? Я был бы голоден все время. Я был в Италии раз и в Греции раз. Этого было достаточно для меня. Поэтому она согласна со мной. Мир состоит из разных людей. You go down the hill. And walk along the path, pass the pond. And through the gate. Then you go across the road. And take the path through the wood. When you come out of the wood you walk up the path and into the church. It takes ten minutes. Today paper is used for hundreds of every day things — books and newspapers of course but also money, stamps, cups, bags and even some clothes. Long ago before paper people wrote on animal skins, bones and stones. Then in BC the Egyptians started to make papirus which was similar to paper. But the first real paper was invented in AD by Chinese government official Ci Lung. It was made from a mixture of plants and cluff. The Chinese kept their invention secret for centures. Finally in the tenth century paper was brought to Europe by the Arabs. The first European paper mill was built in Spain in Since the 18th century most paper has been made out of wood because it is much stronger than cluff. Nowadays each person uses about kilograms of paper every year. Сегодня бумага используется для сотен каждодневных вещей — книг и газет, конечно, но также денег, марок, чашек, сумок и даже для некоторой одежды. Задолго до бумаги люди писали на шкурах животных, костях и камнях. Затем около года до н. Но первая настоящая бумага была изобретена в году н. Она была сделана из смеси растений и ткани. Китайцы держали свое изобретение в секрете столетиями. Наконец, в 10 веке бумага была привезена в Европу арабами. Первый европейский бумажный станок был построен в Испании в году. С 18 века большую часть бумаги делают из дерева, потому что оно намного прочнее, чем ткань. В наши дни каждый человек использует около килограмм бумаги каждый год. What you want is something completely different. So what do you press? And then when you do finally make a choice you get another menu and then another and then another! Then you have to hold. And you get music forever. Until finally you hear: You never actually talk to a person. What temperature do I want? What program do I want? Do I want economy? Do I use powder or one of those little bags full of liquid? I have no idea how to use the radio in my car. It has a CD player and a cassette player but I have no idea where they are! And I can get it to work some of the time which is a miracle. And what drives me mad is when I am trying to print something and the computer says — the printer cannot be found. Another thing — is the way things get out of date so quickly. I tried to buy a new battery for my camera the other day. And the assistant, this boy, look about fourteen said: Have you tried choosing shampoo in a super market? Do you want shampoo for dry hair? Do you want it with fruit? I just close my eyes and choose one. Do you know how much it costs? Что вам нужно, это нечто совсем другое. Итак, что же вам нажать? И затем, когда наконец вы все же делаете выбор вам предлагают очередное меню, затем другое и опять другое. Затем вы должны ждать на проводе. И вы слышите музыку целую вечность, пока в конце концов вы не услышите: И затем вас отключают. Вам никогда не удается поговорить с человеком. Я не могу пользоваться нашей посудомоечной машиной — у нее слишком много кнопок. Я не могу пользоваться нашей стиральной машиной. Какую температуру я хочу? Какую программу я хочу? Хочу ли я экономный вариант? Использую ли я порошок или один из тех маленьких пакетиков полных жидкости? Я не знаю, как пользоваться радио в моей машине. Там есть СиДи проигрыватель и кассетный проигрыватель, но я понятия не имею, где они есть! Я пытался выбрать компьютер в магазине на днях, но я должен был уйти, потому что не понял не слова из того, что продавец сказал. И могу заставить его работать, что само по себе уже чудо. И что бесит меня, это когда я пытаюсь распечатать что-то и компьютер говорит: А я говорю — но он здесь рядом с тобой, как это ты не можешь найти его, ты идиот?! Другой момент — это то, как вещи быстро устаревают. Я пытался купить новую батарею для моего фотоаппарата на днях. И мне сказали — Извините, сэр, но эти батареи больше не производят. И ассистент, этот мальчишка, выглядящий лет на 14 сказал: Детки в наши дни! Не имеют никакого уважения. Вы не найдете чего-то одного из одной номинации товара, у вас их сотни! Вы пробовали выбрать шампунь в супермаркете? Вы хотите шампунь для сухих волос? Вы хотите шампунь с фруктами? Я не могу решить. Я просто закрываю глаза и выбираю один. Ты знаешь, сколько сейчас стоит?! Did you have a nice time last night? I am not hungry. He is going out for dinner with his family. I am going right now. Ты хорошо провела время прошлым вечером? Я ходила домой к Биллу. А Билл придет сегодня вечером? Ты скоро уходишь в школу? Я пойду прямо сейчас. We were doing the wonders of the world in school today. You know, the seven ancient wonders — the Pyramids and such like. And we got to talking about what modern wonders would be — and, well, we all thought that I know what has changed my life more than anything else. What do you mean the dishwasher?! Every time I use something — cups, plates, dishes, knives, forks, you know, I just put it in and after a few days it fills up. I turn it on — and bingo! All clean, bright and sparkling. And I start again. It helps keep my kitchen tidy. I am not very good at tidying. Be a bit more serious! I can call or text my friends all the time. Or if I need a lift from you or mum.. But the problem is people use them too much for every little thing. You are never alone What I really hate is when people shout into them in public places and everyone has to listen to their boring conversations, you know the kind of thing? I am on the train. You can put the dinner in the oven. And it has totally transformed my business. Everyone at work is always on the computer checking e-mails, sending e-mails. I reckon people will forget how to communicate face to face soon. Мы изучали чудеса света в школе сегодня. Вы знаете, семь древних чудес света — пирамиды и тому подобное. И мы заговорили о том, каковы будут современные чудеса света. И мы все подумали, что Я знаю, какое лучшее чудо света для меня. Я знаю, что изменило мою жизнь больше, чем что-либо еще. Что ты под этим подразумеваешь? Я думаю, она чудесна. Каждый раз, когда я использую что-нибудь — чашки, тарелки, блюда, ножи, вилки, знаете ли, я просто их складываю внутрь нее и через несколько дней она заполняется доверху. Я ее включаю — и вот! Все чистое, яркое и блестящее. И я начинаю снова. Она помогает содержать мою кухню в чистоте. Я не особо дружу с чистотой. И весь остальной дом в полнейшем беспорядке. Я могу звонить и писать своим друзьям все время. Или если мне нужно, чтобы меня забрали от мамы или тебя.. Или если я приду домой поздно или если задержусь в школе или там что-нибудь еще, я всегда могу дать знать тебе и маме, что происходит. Но проблема в том, что люди используют их слишком часто для каждой малой вещи. Ты никогда не один Что я в правду ненавижу, это когда люди кричат в них в общественных местах и все должны слышать их скучные разговоры. Ты знаешь, такого сорта вещи? Ты можешь оставить ужин в печке. Знаете ли, когда люди пользуются ими когда ведут машину. Хорошие манеры явно не являются чудом современного мира. Это интернет и е-мэйл. Они изменили весь мир и полностью преобразовали мой бизнес. Каждый на работе всегда проверяет электронную почту, отправляет электронную почту. Это то место, где сейчас большая часть бизнеса делается в наши дни. Я считаю, что люди скоро забудут, как общаться лицом к лицу. Будут одни лишь машины. Лишь потому, что вы имеете все эти разные способы коммуникации, отнюдь не означает, что стало больше, что рассказать. Я рад, что у меня не было этих е-мэйлов и текстовых сообщений в мое время. Sydney Fisc is a lawyer. He is paid very well but he usually has to work long hours. So he travels a lot in his job. At the moment he is working in Mexico. They never have much time to relax together. Avy and I are impressed. I was so amazed. Rollings is a really good writer. Well, lots of adults read her books , they are not just for kids. Everyone said it was great. I could not read it. It is a great story though. Especially, you know, when it moves to him and the girl on a Greek island. Actually I read it on holiday on a beach on a Greek island would you believe and I just cried and cried. People kept asking me if I was OK. She is so lovely. So what is your favourite book, Sue? And I like Dracula film. It was so long ago. It was with Tom Cruze. I love horror movies. The scarier the better. Dracular is more scarier with huge teeth that he sinks into the necks of beautiful women. So what else do you read other than Harry Poter that is? СЛЕДУЮЩИЕ ТЕКСТЫ К АУДИО.

Jessie I want to do something useful before I go to college next year. Джеси Я хочу сделать что-нибудь полезное прежде, чем я поступлю в колледж в следующем году. Что ты будешь делать, если за тобой погонятся дикие звери? Я буду в машине, поэтому за мной никто не погонится. Но я надеюсь, что увижу много диких животных. Это не будет проблемой. Оно будет таким жарким! Что если ты получишь солнечные ожоги? Все у меня будет чудесно. Что если ты потеряешься в буше? Я не буду одна. У меня будет водитель и гид. Но если все же сломается, водитель починит ее. Все эти дикие звери и москиты! Я просто знаю, что понравится! Хорошего тебе перелета до Рио. Помни, мы ожидаем телефонного звонка от тебя этим вечером, когда доберешься туда. Во сколько ты туда прибудешь? Если самолет прибудет во время, я буду там около По местному времени, конечно. Если ты будешь спать, когда я позвоню, я оставлю сообщение на автоответчике. Со мной все будет хорошо. Но когда ты будешь путешествовать по стране, не забывай звонить нам регулярно. Следи за тем, что звонишь дважды в неделю. И я позвоню, если у меня закончатся деньги — Нахал. Но ты должен быть осторожным, дорогой. Передай мои наилучшие пожелания родителям Диего. И не забудь отдать им этот подарок, когда доберешься до их дома. О, объявляют мой рейс. Сегодня вечером твоя очередь. Но я все равно провалил экзамен. Я просто не могу решить. Она заводит друзей очень легко. Я хочу сфотографировать вас всех. Но не злись — я скоро ее уберу. Я думаю, я простужаюсь. Я хорошо лажу с ней. Затем ты переходишь через дорогу и по тропинке через небольшой лес. Когда выйдешь из леса, иди по тропинке к церкви. Это займет 10 минут. Things that changed the world The history of paper Today paper is used for hundreds of every day things — books and newspapers of course but also money, stamps, cups, bags and even some clothes. Вещи, изменившие мир История бумаги Сегодня бумага используется для сотен каждодневных вещей — книг и газет, конечно, но также денег, марок, чашек, сумок и даже для некоторой одежды. Вещи, которые раздражают меня я не могу терпеть, когда вы звоните ком-нибудь вроде Бритиш Телеком и вы сталкиваетесь с машиной, а не с человеком. Making conversation Good morning. Заводим разговор Доброе утро. Sydney Fisc Sydney Fisc is a lawyer. Сидней Фиск Сидней Фиск — юрист. Ему хорошо платят, но он должен работать много времени. Он работает на международную комапнию в Далласе в Техасе. Поэтому он много ездит по работе. В данный момент он работает в Мексике. А на следующей неделе он поедет во Францию. Сидней женат и у него есть двое детей ти и ти лет. Он редко видит своих детей, потому что большую часть своего времени он проводит вне дома. У него есть красивый дом на окраине Далласа. Он очень большой с восьмью спальнями. Его жена — дизайнер по интерьеру. Если он дома в выходные, он и его жена иногда играют в гольф вместе, но это не часто случается. У них никогда нет много времени, чтобы отдохнуть вместе. Он говорит, что не знает, счастлив ли он. Он слишком занят, чтобы думать об этом. I make good money — sixty thousand dollars a year for four hours work a day. On top of that I often get fifty dollars a week in tips. I get up at 2 AM every day seven days a week. The first newspapers delivered at 2: I finish four hours, 65 miles and newspapers later. I drive a red Chevy Blazer and the newspapers are packed into the bag. I love the peace and quiet in the early morning. Most of the time I have the world to myself. Occasionally I meet a jogger. I usually get back home by 7 AM. Then I have the rest of the day to be with my family and do what I want. I have two teenage children and my wife works in the University of Iowa. When they are sitting in an office I am playing golf! So I ask you — who has the better life? Я зарабатываю хорошие деньги — 65 тысяч долларов в год за 4-х часовой рабочий день. Сверх того, я часто получаю по 50 долларов в неделю в качестве чаевых. Моя работа не такая уж простая. Я встаю в 2 часа ночи каждый день семь дней в неделю. Первые газеты должны быть доставлены в 2: Я заканчиваю 4-мя часами, ю милями и газет спустя. Я вожу красный Шевроле Блэйзер, и газеты сложены в сумку. Я люблю спокойствие и тишину раннего утра. Большую часть времени мир принадлежит мне. Порой я встречаю бегуна. Я обычно возвращаюсь домой к 7-ми часам утра. Потом оставшийся день я провожу с моей семьей и делаю что хочу. У меня двое детей подростков и моя жена работает в университете штата Айова. По некоторым дням я обучаю детей в бейсбольной команде, в другие дни я играю в гольф. Я также учусь на магистра сейчас. Я хочу быть консультантом по браку в итоге, но я не тороплюсь. Некоторые люди думают, что это вообщем-то не работа. Когда они сидят в офисе, я играю в гольф. Поэтому я спрошу вас — у кого лучше жизнь? What do you do? I am working on a hotel. I am designing a new lobby for the Plaza. Я украшаю дома людей и даю им идеи насчет мебели и освещения. Я работаю над отелем. Я украшаю новое лобби для отеля Плаза. She is very special to me. We communicate through laughter. I am exhausted in the end of each day. Do you just go home and relax? I often go out with friends. I have the best friends and the best job in the world! Она перенесла так много операций. Она очень особенная для меня. Мы общаемся через смех. В конце каждого дня я просто измотана. Вы просто идете домой и расслабляетесь? Я часто выхожу гулять с друзьями. У меня лучшие друзья и лучшая работа на свете. Recently I started doing aerobics. They run a special aerobics class for us. First thing we do is exercise for about three quarters of an hour. We go through all the exercises to music. There are between four and eight of us depending on the weather really. I am quite good at it now. I can do most of the exercises. Although there are one or two that are a bit energetic for me at my age. I am one of the oldest. Some of the others are just babies of about sixty. Afterwards we all go for a cup of tea and a piece of cake in the coffee bar. Недавно я начала заниматься аэробикой. Я хожу раз в неделю в четверг утром в местный центр для пожилых людей. Они проводят специальные уроки аэробики для нас. Сначала мы делаем упражнения около 45 минут. Мы занимаемся всеми упражнениями под музыку. Там нас от 4-х до 8-ми человек в зависимости от погоды. Мы носим обтягивающую одежду и комфортные туфли или кроссовки, и, кроме музыки и Джулиано, чудесного инструктора, нам больше ничего и не нужно. Я уже довольно хорошо в этом преуспеваю. Я могу делать большинство упражнений, хотя есть одно или два, которые немного слишком энергичные для меня в моем возрасте. Я одна из старейших. Некоторые другие всего лишь дети около ти лет. После мы идем пить чашку чаю с кусочком пироженого в кофейный бар. Такое утро правда чудесно. My husband thought I was mad. But my children said: And now my husband has taken up skiing too. I have my own skis, ski poles and boots and stuff that I take with me and of course all the latest clothes. I have a lovely ski suit. I like to look good. Now my instructor says I am a very good skier. And in fact I even give lessons to friends and my husband. I could give you your first lesson. Мой муж подумал, что я сошла с ума. Но мои дети сказали: Поэтому я так и сделала. И теперь мой муж тоже занялся лыжами. У меня есть свои собственные лыжи, лыжные палки и ботинки и снаряжение, которое я беру с собой, и конечно же, всю последнюю в моде одежду. Важно быть модным на лыжном склоне. Теперь мой инструктор говорит, что я хороший лыжник. На самом деле, я даже даю уроки друзьям и моему мужу. Если вы никогда не катались на лыжах, вам следует это попробовать. Я могу вам дать ваш первый урок. I am crazy about it. I love watching it. But I especially enjoy playing it. I play matches twice a week — on Friday evenings after school and on Sunday mornings. And we also have football coaching on Tuesday evenings when we just practice all our football skills. We all have a special kit - a football shirt with a number on the back. And we wear shorts, socks and stuff. All are matching colours. And of course our football boots. And we also have to wear shin pads for protection, you know. We have a team tracksuit too. But we only wear this before and after matches and for training. In fact we nearly always lose. Maybe he is right. But do you know what I think? Я очень люблю футбол. Я с ума по нему схожу. Я люблю смотреть его. Но особенно мне нравится играть в него. Мне 9 лет и я играю в местной команде на моем школьном футбольном поле. Я играю в матчах дважды в неделю — в пятницу вечером после школы и в воскресенье утром. И у нас также футбольные тренировки во вторник вечером когда мы просто тренируем футбольные навыки. Мы все имеем специальный набор: Это мой счастливый номер. И мы носим шорты, носки и тому подобное. И, конечно же, наши футбольные бутcы. И мы также носим защитные щитки, знаете ли. У нас также есть командные куртки. Но мы их надеваем только до и после матчей и для тренировок. Моя мама всегда приходит за нас болеть, даже когда идет дождь. Моя команда не очень хороша. На самом деле, мы почти всегда проигрываем, но мы не переживаем. Наш футбольный тренер Мартин говорит, что выигрыш не важен, важно участие. Может быть, он прав. Но, вы знаете, что я думаю? Я думаю, это фантастика, когда мы выигрываем. He boasted to a woman friend: His name is Wassas. Gluscap had never heard of Wassas, he immediately wanted to meet him and fight him. The woman pointed to a baby who was sitting and sucking a piece of sugar on the floor of the tea pee. He is little but he is very strong. Gluscap laughed and went up to the baby. Little Wassas loоked at him for a moment. Then he opened his mouth. Gluscap had never heard such a terrible noise. He danced a war dance and sang some war songs. Gluscap covered his ears and ran out off the tea pee. After he had run a few miles he stopped and listened. The baby was still screaming. Gluscap the fearless was terrified. Он хвастался своей подруге: Глускап никогда не слышал о Вассасе. Он немедленно захотел встретиться и сразиться с ним. Итак, он был отведен в деревню к женщине. Женщина указала на малыша, сидящего и сосущего кусочек сахару на полу чайного домика. Он мал, но очень силен. Глускап рассмеялся и подошел к ребенку. Маленький Вассас посмотрел на него какое-то время. Затем он открыл свой рот. Глускап никогда не слышал такого ужасного шума. Он танцевал воинственные танцы и пел воинственные песни. Вассас вопил все громче. Глускап закрыл свои уши и выбежал из чайного домика. После того, как он пробежал несколько миль, он остановился и прислушался. Малыш все еще вопил. Бесстрашный Глускап был в ужасе. Он продолжил бежать и никогда больше его не увидели в деревне у женщины. An amazing thing happened. Did you have a good holiday? We had a great time. I have to tell you — the most amazing thing happened. And this huge wave came along and knocked my sunglasses into the water! I just left them on top of my head. Anyway they were gone. I was really upset. You know, Roy had given me those sunglasses for my birthday. They were really expensive. Anyway I had to have sunglasses, so I bought a new pair. Just a cheap pair this time. There was another huge wave. It completely covered me. I was so wet.. When I looked down there on the sand right next to me were my expensive sunglasses. Ты провела хороший отпуск? Мы великолепно провели время. Я должна рассказать тебе — самая удивительная вещь произошла. Что же это было? Это был наш первый день. И пришла гигантская волна и сбила мои солнечные очки в воду! И почему ты плавала в своих очках от солнца? Я просто оставила их на голове. Я забыла, что они там. Как бы там ни было, они пропали. Я не могла найти их нигде. Я была правда расстроена. Ты знаешь, Рой подарил те очки на день рожденья. Они были очень дорогие. Просто дешевую пару на этот раз. Ты никогда этому не поверишь. Пришла другая гигантская волна и полностью накрыла меня. Когда я посмотрела вниз, там на песке рядом со мной были мои дорогие солнцезащитные очки, те, которые потеряла днем раньше. Я не могла поверить своим глазам. Books and films He-hey! Книги и фильмы Хе-хэй! Я только что прочитал отличную книгу. Эви и я под впечатлением. Я был так удивлен. Роллингс действительно хорошая писательница. Ну, много взрослых читают ее книги, они не только для детей. То, что я видела, было отлично. Я не смогла читать эту книгу. Все говорили, что она великолепна. Я не смогла читать ее. Можете назвать меня старомодным, но я люблю читать книгу сначала. Хотя это отличная история. Особенно, знаете ли, когда дело доходит до него и девушки на греческом острове. Вообще-то я читала ее в отпуске на пляже на греческом острове, представляете! Я просто плакала и плакала. Люди все постоянно меня спрашивали, все ли со мной в порядке. Итак, какая твоя любимая книга, Сью? Я знаю, что все слышали про Дракулу и видел фильмы про Дракулу, но не многие люди читали книгу. Она написана человеком по имени Брам Стогэр и она блестящая. Это было так давно. Он был с Томом Крузом. Чем страшнее, тем лучше. Вообще-то я думаю, Франкенштейн — намного лучший ужастик. Вам реально жаль этого бедного монстра. То есть, это лишь мое мнение, конечно. Дракула намного страшнее с гигантскими зубами, которыми он вонзается в шеи красивых женщин. And you can go out with your friends and you can go shopping and you can go to the cinema and Maybe eleven or twelve at the weekend. You get pocket money from your parents. And you are not allowed to buy whatever you want. Life is tough for kids. I feel more sorry for my mum than my dad. He has to drive over miles a week. What are some of the rules at your school? Oh, there are so many! All of them stupid! Подростки и родители - Расскажите мне, каковы некоторые хорошие вещи в том, чтобы быть подростком, а не взрослым. Взрослые это тоже могут делать. Но разница в том, как много свободы есть у подростков. Я всегда должна говорить моим маме и папе, куда я иду и во сколько я приду домой. Может быть, к 11 или ти в выходной. Вы получаете карманные деньги от своих родителей, но этого никогда не хватает. И вам никогда не позволяют покупать то, что вы хотите. Но, как вы думаете, что значит быть взрослым, Линзи? Они не всегда могут делать то, что они хотят и когда хотят. Мне больше жаль мою маму, чем папу. Она всегда носится вся в делах и еще должна ходить на работу. Она не должна работать по четвергам и пятницам, но у нее все равно есть много других вещей делать в течение дня — делать покупки, готовить и отводить меня на уроки танцев. Он должен ездить по миль каждую неделю. Каковы некоторые правила в вашей школе? Мы не можем носить макияж, нам не позволяют жевать жвачку, нам не разрешают приносить мобильные телефоны на уроки. Есть миллионы правил, все они глупые. Мне нужно делать свою домашнюю работу. I spend all my time just looking at maps. Я провожу все свое время просто в изучении карт. Что ты думаешь — стоит ли нам взять наличные или дорожные чеки? Я бы лучше поехал в феврале или марте, когда будет суше. Я не могу дождаться чтобы поехать. Ты не должен разговаривать с незнакомцами. You have to wear the same uniform that everyone else. A short slive white shirt, black trousers and a red hat and a name tag. Remember, you must always be polite. Or whatever the time of day Here is your hat and your name tag. You have all set. Welcome to Burger Heaven Dave! Ты должен носить ту же форму, что и все. Белая рубашка с коротким руковом, черные брюки и красная шапка с именным бэйджиком. Помни, ты всегда должен быть вежливым. Когда они тебе скажут, чего они хотят, введи это в компьютер, и, когда они закончат, перечитай им то, что они заказали. Затем возьми их деньги и сложи им их еду. Вот твоя шапка и твой именной бейджик. Вот мы и готовы. I come from Nogano, Japan. Before they come we must tidy the front garden and clean the entrance hall. Then we must spray all with water to show that we welcome our guests with cleanliness. The guests usually bring a gift. And when they give you the gift they say — I am sorry, this is such a small gift. But in fact they have chosen it very carefully. When the meal is ready the hostess says: You can see that in Japan you should try to be modest and you should not to show off too much. When we have foreign guests we try to serve traditional Japanese meals like sushi, tempora or sukiyaki but when we have Japanese guest we serve all kinds of food such as spagetti, Chinese food or stakes. When guests leave the host and the hostess see them off the house and wait until their car turns the corner of the street. Я родом из Ногано, Япония. В моей стране мы обычно приглашаем гостей домой в выходные на ужин около 7-ми часов вечера. До того, как они приходят, мы должны убрать наш садик перед домом и вычистить прихожую. Затем мы должны все обрызгать водой, чтобы показать, что мы приветствуем гостей чистотой. Гости обычно приносят подарок. Но, на самом деле, они выбрали его очень внимательно. Когда еда готова, хозяйка говорит: Вы можете увидеть, что в Японии вы должны пытаться быть скромным и не стоит казаться особенно богатым. Если вы не понимаете нашу культуру, вы можете подумать, что это очень странно. Когда мы принимаем иностранных гостей, мы стремимся угостить их традиционной японской едой вроде суши, темпора или сукияки, но когда у нас японский гость, мы угощаем его разной едой, такой, как спагетти, китайской едой или стейком. Когда гости уезжают, хозяин или хозяйка провожает их из дома и ждет, пока их машина не завернет за угол улицы. Они ждут, пока не потеряют их из виду. And I am from Bristol in England. We like to have people over for lunch and they usually get here around noon. A pot luck is an informal occasion so people dress casually. If the weather is nice we have it outside in the garden. And what makes it fun is that everyone who comes has to bring a dish of food. They are given a choice — a starter, main course, salad or vegetable, or a dessert. As a host I know how many kinds of each dish the guests will bring but not exactly what food will be. All I have to do is make one dish myself and get cups, glasses and knives and forks together and supply the drinks. As the guests arrive they put their dish on the table and people help themselves. Мы любим приглашать людей на обед и они обычно приезжают здесь к полудню. Если погода хорошая, мы устраиваем обед в саду на улице. И что самое забавное, это то, что каждый, кто приходит, должен принести с собой блюдо с какой-нибудь едой. Им дается выбор — первое блюдо, главное блюдо, салат или овощи или дессерт. Как хозяйка, я знаю, сколько видов разного блюда гости принесут, но совсем не знаю, что это будет за еда. Это сюрприз - устраивать обед и не знать, чем будешь кормить гостей. Все, что я должна сделать, это приготовить одно собственное блюдо и предоставить чашки, стаканы, ножи, вилки и обеспечить всех напитками. Когда гости приходят, они ставят свое блюдо на стол, и люди сами угощаются. Некоторые гости могут принести бутылку вина или цветы в качестве подарка, но я ничего не ожидаю. Это веселый, простой способ собраться вместе с друзьями или семьей. We like to invite our friends over at weekends on a Friday or a Saturday night for a shuhascu or Brasilian barbeque. These are very popular in this part of Brasil. People come about eight in the evening and stay till midnight or even later. Sometimes until two in the morning, whenever people start getting sleepy. People stay a long time. There is no set time for dinner to end. We all sit around and play cards or just talk. If people want to bring something I tell them to bring something for the meal like a bottle of wine or something for dessert. But what about the food? At the shuhascu we cook different kinds of meat on long metal skewers over an open flame. We have all kinds of meat: Then we cut off slices of meat from the skewers to serve the guests. We usually have potatoes, salad or rice as side dishes. After the meal we drink coffee or espresso. Лукас Меня зовут Лукас и я из Порто Аллегри, который находится в южной части Бразилии. Мы любим приглашать наших друзей на выходные в пятницу или субботу вечером на шухаску или бразильское барбекю. Это очень популярно в этой части Бразилии. Люди приходят около 8-ми вечера и остаются до полуночи или даже позже. Иногда до двух часов ночи, в зависимости от того, когда люди начинают хотеть спать. Нет установленного времени для конца ужина. Мы все сидим кружком и играем в карты или просто говорим. Все это очень неформально. Если гости хотят что-нибудь принести, я говорю им принести что-то для еды — бутылку вина или что-то на десерт. Что же насчет еды? На шухаску мы готовим разное мясо на длинных металлических вертелах на открытом огне. У нас есть все возможные виды мяса: Затем мы отрезаем кусочки мяса с вертела и угощаем гостей. Мы обычно в качестве закуски едим картошку, салат или рис. После еды мы пьем кофе или эспрессо. All the sudden the phone rings and my boss says. Could you go and check? Can I help you? Can I change them for a new pair? Or better still turn it off! Where are you going? I have a question for him about the budget. Вдруг телефон зазвонил, и мой начальник говорит Могу я заменить их на новую пару? Позвольте мне посмотреть, есть ли у нас другая пара вашего размера. А лучше выключите ее совсем! У меня к нему вопрос по поводу бюджета. Do we need anything? У нас нет сахара. Он у меня уже в списке. Я собираюсь купить немного. Я могу зайти к Нику. Зависит от того, сколько у меня есть времени. Я вернусь до того. What about tennis rockets? I hope the weather is good. What time are the roommates coming? About seven in the morning. Они с паспортами и дорожными чеками. Во сколько такси приедет? Как насчет теннисных ракеток? Скоро наш большой день. Надеюсь, погода будет хорошей. Расходы выглядят в порядке. И отель уже готов нас принять. Во сколько соседи по комнате придут? Ехать долго и как раз через сельскую местность.
A great age of literature is perhaps always a great age of translations. Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine, but leaving us the instant we cross into the shade. Facts are stubborn things and what ever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they can not alter the state of facts, and evidence. Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. Once I had the strength but no wisdom now I have the wisdom but no strength. Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order. Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy. People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid. Patience and time do more than strength or passion. Observe your enemies, for they first find your faults. Kind words are short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Death smiles at us all, but all a man can do is smile back. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large. Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir. The earth has music for those who listen. If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him to find it for himself. Nobody can hurt me without my permission. Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Do not take life too seriously. We need never be ashamed of our tears. Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back. My advice to you is get married if you find a good wife youll be happy if not, youll become a philosopher. The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes. Likewise those spirits who are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be spirits. True Civilization does not lie in gas, nor in steam, nor in turn-tables. It lies in the reduction of the traces of original sin. Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door. Knowledge comes from learning. Wisdom comes from living. Think In The Morning Act In The Noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. We rise with the lark and go to bed with the lamb. Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on the earth. Conscience is our unerring judge until we finally stifle it. Where knowledge is a duty, ignorance is a crime. If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad. A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future. A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say, and then to say it with the utmost levity. It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly. The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase. Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life. Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand as well. Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. Fill your paper with the breathing of your heart. The evil, that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones. An aphorism can never be the whole truth; it is either a half-truth or a truth-and-a-half. Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does. The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic. The world is never the same, once a good poem has been added to it. Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten. The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears. The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause. I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity - H. If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. You are not going that way. The fools, because they have to say something. It is better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten. Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack. To have great poets, there must be great audiences. Spending time with children is more important than spending money on children. And no matter what anyone says about grief and about time healing the woods, the truth is, there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken. One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and be understood. The greatest gift you can give someone is your TIME. Because when you give your time, You are giving a portion of your life, That you will never get back. Logic will get you from A to B Imagination will take you everywhere. Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future. Write your name in hearts of people you come in touch with. Man cannot discover new oceans, unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. Children learn more from what you are, than what you teach - W. God always has something for you, a key for every problem, a light for every shadow, a relief for every sorrow, and a plan for every tomorrow. Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come. No one has ever made himself great by showing how small someone else is. Take pride in how far you have come. Have faith in how far you can go. Reading can seriously damage your ignorance. The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. I am strong because I know my weaknesses. I am beautiful because I am aware of my flaws. I am fearless because I have faith. I am wiser because I continue to learn from my mistakes. I feel empathy because I know what it is to be hurt. I am blessed because I am always grateful. Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. What on Earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee? Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it. I used to walk into a room full of people and wonder if they liked me; now, I just look around and wonder if I like them. A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from the negative. If you are searching for that one person that will change your life, take a look in the mirror. Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength. A person starts dying when they stop dreaming. No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right your grow. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person. While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about. Sometimes you have to accept the truth and stop wasting time on the wrong people. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will be wise. The moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens. Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best. We all need someone who inspires us to do better than we know how. Often in life, we forget the things we should remember, and remember the things we should forget. Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person. We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day. Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. And I quite like me sometimes. I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings. Friends that turned into family, dreams that turned into reality and likes that turned into love. Look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude. Be selective in your battles, sometimes peace is better than being right. Find a heart that loves you at your worst, and arms that will hold you at your weakest. One of the hardiest lessons in life is letting go. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go. If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place. Love is not finding someone to live with. You say you love rain, but you open your umbrella. You say you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot. You say you love the wind, but you close your windows. This is why I am afraid, you say you love me too. Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage mean we face our fears. We are able to say: A friend is someone who can see the truth and pain in you even when you are fooling everyone else. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all. Never be afraid to try something new, because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know. Understanding is deeper than knowledge. There are many people who know you, but there are very few who understand you. Everything in life is temporary. The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and feel. Sometimes a good cry is just what you need to release all the hurt you have built up inside. No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and servive the storm together. It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company. True love and loyal friends are two of the hardest things to find. If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your life. The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been. If a woman is upset, hold her and tell her how beautiful she is. If she starts to growl, retreat to a safe distane, and throw a chocolate at her. Sometimes it is better to keep silent than to tell others what you feel. Decause it hurts badly when you come to know that they can here you, but can not understand. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. We all have two lives. The second one starts when we realize that we only have one. According to Greek Mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves. Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a list. I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. And my soul is understood. If you allow the wrong people in your house, stuff will come up missing like: It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes. I would rather die of passion than of boredom. You must learn her. You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest sports. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to. You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. And, this is how you keep her. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. Single is not a status, it is a word that describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others. Relationships are like glass. I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more. How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged. I wish people were like money, so you could hold them up to the light to see which ones are real and which ones are fake! What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass. Never cut what you can untie. No one notices your tears, no one notices your sadness, no one notices your pains, but they all notices your mistakes. The eyes are useless when the mind is blind. The view at the top is beautiful. Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healhty. You need to learn to respect and take care of yourself. Telling the truth and making someone cry is better then telling a lie and making someone smile. I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, or because everuthing she does is golden. A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shoes any sing of promise, you keep writing anyway. Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. An old Cherokee told his grandson: It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. The boy thought about it and asked: The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why. The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. Do not put your hand in the mouth of loneliness. Do not be seduced by the lonely ones. Time is very slow for those who wait. Very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who lament. Very short for those who celebrate. But for those who love, time is eternal. A person can fail many times, but they are not a failure until they give up. One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say. A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible. A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. Art is to console those who are broken by life. Those eyes of yours could swallow stars, galaxies and universes. What hope did I ever have? The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. They are talking to a single person all the time. What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when you bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen. Do not pray for the hard thing to go away, but pray for a bravery to come. The human heart is the only thing in the world that weighs more when it is broken. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the pure. Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather, and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know. They are meant to cross our path for a reason. The boundaries which devide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world. Empty journal seeks creative genius for casual fling. Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me. Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Be great in act as you have been in thought. Love is that condition in which happiness of another person is essencial to your own. He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy. Because if you pick it up, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation. I wanted to kiss you goodnight. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. Without great solitude, no serious work is possible. I think of life as a good book. The more further you get into it, the more t begins to make sense. Love in such a way that the person you love feels free. People are like eyes, they see everything but themselves. There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Bless the souls that have dealt with me, when my thoughts get out of control. We do not cease to play because we grow old. We grow old because we cease to play. Listen to the never haves. In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. As a child I never imagined that all of the real monsters in the world would be humans. You are perfect exactly as you are. All you need to change is the thought that you have to change. The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. I am by nature a dealer in words, and words are the most powerful drug known to humanity. Just make your absence felt. There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion. Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth. I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. The music is not in the notes, but the silence in between. Words are like arrows. Once loosed, you cannot call them back. Love is a marvellous and heavenly thing. It never tires and never thinks that it has done enough. If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule: Never lie to yourself. To learn to read is to light a fire. Every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. We think too much and feel too little. And so being young and dipped in folly, I fell in love with meloncholy. When you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know. The only way to get rid of a temptetion, is to yield to it. Resist it and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself. If you love someone more than they deserve, surely they will hurt you more than you desrve. We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out. You think your hell is worse than mine? Give but do not allow yourself to be used. Love but do not allow your heart to be abused. Life is waking up an hour early to live an hour more. The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people that love you, simply for being you. The once in a lifetime kind of people. Listen to the wind, it talks. Listen to the silence, it speaks. Listen to your heart, it knows. The world is dark, and light is precious. Come closer, dear reader. You must trust me. I am telling you a story. Grief is like the ocean, it comes on waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing. When thinking about life remember this: My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me. You asked me what you mean to me, my darling, you are my poetry. People who are easily embarrassed tend to be more trustworthy, loyal, honest, and generous. The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has storms, it has its tides and in its depths has its pearls too. All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water. And that is the tragedy of living. How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved. Be patient with yourself. You are growing stronger every day. The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene. But if you are brave enough, you can try to steal it. The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding. One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure. Yes, hearts can break. Pull out from the depths those thoughts that you do not understand, and spread them out in the sunlight and know the meaning of them. Join those who walk with tears in their eyes. Avoid those who have never shed a tear. They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. It takes no political deal to give people their freedom. She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them. The price of anything is the amount of life you change for it. There just has to be someone who wants you. Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed. I do not agree. But it is never gone. The biggest mistake you could ever make is being too afraid to make one. Why be a copy when you were born to be an original. I had found my religion: I saw the library as a temple. You read and you are pierced. Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting. Sometimes all you have to do is forget what you feel and remember what you deserve. Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace. I know because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted, and when I got it, it turned to dust in my hand. They belong to you. If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. You cannot breathe deeply and worry at the same time. Let the worry go. Allow the ease and intuition in. You change for two reasons. Not everyone has to like you. Not everyone has taste. Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. It is clear that the nations of the world now can only rise and fall together. It is not a question of one nation winning at the expense of another. We must all help one another or all perish together. Society is like a stew. If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. I hate mankind, for I think myself on of the best of them, and I know how bad I am. All great changes are preceded by chaos. The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else. What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory. There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part, so just give me a happy middle and a very happy start. Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you do not have. Remember that what you have was once among the things you only hoped for. I have come to realize that the only people I need in my life are the ones who need me in theirs, even when I have nothing else to offer them but myself. There are people who have money and people who are rich. I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been. Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is stop trying. Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas time. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love. Many more people have a problem with that. Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. You never really know the daily struggles of others. I have learned that to be with those I like is enough. Now matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance. Who does like people? Meanwhile I have got to have another beer. You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. He who works with hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist. In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed. You are either in your bed or in your shoes, so it pays to invest in both. We are all in the same game; just different levels. Dealing with the same hell; just different devils. The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. I sit around and wonder about the fire in your eyes, the movement of your fingers, the way you slowly complicate my life. Anger is a feeling that makes your mouth work faster than your mind. Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself. You look ridiculous if you dance. So you might as well dance. Is there no way out of the mind? Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding people together, citizens of distant epoch, who never knew one another. If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all. Always follow the path of truth. Lying will only get you lost. Memories and possibilities are even more hideous than realities. Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a hugher fence. There is no such thing as static happiness. Happiness is a mixed thing, a thing compounded of sacrificies, and losses, and betrayals. Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering. The greater your storm, the brighter your rainbow. Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them. I solemnly swear that I am up to know good. The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not here the music. The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others life. Desires are like wild horses, it requires intelligence and character to conquer them. Success is not final, failure is not final: When she is alone in the rooms I hear her humming to keep herself from thinking. Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in. Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask: And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays. It always seems to me that I should feel well in the places where I am not. Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time. Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your nife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity. Imagine meeting someone who understood even the dustiest corners of your mixed-up soul. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. There is nothing I would not do for those who are truly my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. When you meet the one who changes the way your heart beats, dance with to that rhythm for as long as the song lasts. History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd. Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me. If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me. Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt. The sky calls to us; if we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars. Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat any time. A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy. The moment we start acting like life is a blessing I assure you it will start to feel like one. Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again. The three oddest words. When I pronounce the word Future, the first syllable already belongs to the past. When I pronounce the word Silence, I destroy it. When I pronounce the word Nothing, I make something no nonbeing can hold. All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. It grows up and talks back to you. The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. No man is reach enough to buy back his past. Learn the alchemy true human beings know. A little less smiley, a little less sure, but a whole lot more like me. Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone out there afraid to lose me. What good is the warmth of summer without the chill of winter. To love or have loved, that is enough. There is no real pearl to be found in the dark folds of love. A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world. With freedom, books, flowers and the moon who could not be happy? Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. Nobody can bring you peace but yourself. A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities. Nobody will ever love you as much as an artist can. On your worst days, they will find poetry in the knots of your hair. Sometimes, the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy. Heartbreak numbs everything but pain. One day, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else. Silence has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence. I learn a good deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as you please, and taking note of what you do not say. Cuddling literally kills depression, relieves anxiety and strengthens the immune system. She was poetry in a world that was still learning the alphabet. Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear. But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. My heart currently resembles the ashes of my cigarettes. An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot reason are fools, those who dare not are slaves. The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, and wiser people are full of doubts. Had I not fallen, I would not have arisen. Had I not been subject to darkness, I could not have seen the light. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force life begins. Great things always begin from the inside. The smolest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Your suicide happened the moment society made you feel ugly and you believed it. There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy. Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life. Love is not what you say; love is what you do. You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. But when people say, Did you always want to be a writer? I always was a writer. Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart. Do not believe the things you tell yourself when you are sad and lonely. So make it count, make it memorable, and never let anyone steal your happiness. Once you feel you are avoided by someone, never disturb them again. It says nothing about you but a lot about them. The sad truth is so many people are in love and not together and so many people are together and not in love. Live in such a way that if anyone should speak badly of you no one would believe it. Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open. So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. So the universe is not quite as you thought it was. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. May green be the grass you walk in. May blue be the skies above. May pure be joys that surround you. May true be the hearts that love you. One must be a little crazy to write a good novel. Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry. All human have three lives: Nature does not nurry, yet everything is accomplished. When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. I believe every human being has a finite number of heartbeats. Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value. She has a way with words, red lipstick, and making an entrance. To succeed in life, you need two things: I like old school things. Picnics, phone calls, flowers, letters, dates, late night drives for nothing. Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher. There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning. Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood. But if thought corrupts language. Language can also corrupt thought. Always show more kindness than seems necessary, because the person receveing it needs it more than you will know. Immerse yourself in nature quietly listen, smell, watch, taste and touch. Defend the garden of you spirit. There are two ways to get enough: One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less. If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude. We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational and so disciplined they can be free. Being a candle is not easy; in order to give light one must first birn. Drama does not just walk into your life. Either you create it, invite it, or associate with it. We came, we saw, we loved. I came, I saw, I loved. Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive. Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: The trick is to enjoy life. Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection. Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty. Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not the thunder. For somehow, not only at Christmas, but all the long year through. The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you. Society speaks and all men listen, mountains speak and wise men listen. I think Christmas is a wonderful time for drinking. And also after and before Christmas plus all the other days. There are some people who could hear you speak a thousand words and still not understand you. And there are others who will understand you without even speaking a word. Forgiveness liberates the soul. That is why it is such a powerful weapon. My lover asks me: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. The quieter you become the more you can hear. One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away, not knowing that you are my life. Sometimes, the advice you tell other people is the advice you need to follow. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher. We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden. Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart, rather than a piece of our mind. Honesty has a power that very few people can handle. The same is true tor you. There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion? If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings. No entertainment is so cheap as reading, no any pleasue so lasting. In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go. Trust is like an eraser, it gets smaller and smaller after every mistake. Love is the beauty of the soul. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you. It may be on your left, but it is always right. Too often it seems we hurt the ones closest to our hearts, and we let the most foolish thigs tear us apart. Share your hard moments. Share your real side. Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you. Never mind what I say. In fact, I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood. Beware of those who seek constant crowds; they are nothing alone. Let me tell you this: Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box. Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before. Normality is a paved road: We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. You are not gonna promise to each other that you will not disappoint one another, because at some point you will. There is no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. They are not there to scare you. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns. Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Thouse are the keys to understaning this amazing world we live in. If you want to change your life, begin by changing your words. Start speaking the words of your dreams, of who you want to become, not the words of fear and failure. Little sisters remind big sisters how wonderful it is to play in the sand. Big sisters show little sisters how to keep the sand off their popsicles. But when I see the ocean, all my sorrow is washed away. May be the wolf is in love with the moon, and each month it cries for a love it will never touch. Hug the hurt, kiss the broken, befriend the lost, love the lonely. Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Be willing to let go of who you think you should be, in order to be where you are. I think hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go. Sometimes you heve to go through the worst to get the best. A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity. There are poets who sing you to sleep and poets who ready you for war and I want to be both. One of my main regrets in life is giving considerable attention to inconsiderate people. Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live it once. Be comfortable with growing older. Although you are very small and your kind have existed in the universe for only a short time, you are an important part of something very large and very beautiful. I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I really was. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while. Some people are so poor, all they have is money. A room without books is like a body without a soul. Wishing you could unread a book so you could read it again for the first time. Life is too short to wait. You will never have this day again, so make it count. But just remember that life goes on. None of my friends are there. Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadoes. The heart was made to be broken. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other. Follow your heart, but take your brain with you. The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. To love is nothing. To be loved is something. To be loved by the person you love is everything. Poetry is thoughts that breathe and words that burn. Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar. The perfect woman, you see is a working woman; not and idler; not a fine lady; but one who uses her hands and her head and her heart for the good of others. If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sinbeams and you will always look lovely. Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night. We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory. The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to. This is the first thing I understood: Time is the echo of an axe within a wood. One should always be drunk. With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone. Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself. One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again. Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. It is a boat longing for the sea and yest afraid. To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. Speak not of peoples and laws and kingdoms, for the whole earth is my birthplace and all humans are my brothers. Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again. Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood. Use what talent you posess: Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. God is the best listener. The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end. I cannot conceive of any beauty in which there is no melancholy. Naturally you landed in jail. To sin by silence, when we should protest, makes cowards out of men. Just walk beside me and be my friend. Gratitude is not only the gratest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. We are so accustamed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. Keep dating and you will become so sick, so badly crippled, so deformed, so emotionally warped and mentally defective that you will marry anybody. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person. A story has no beginning or end: Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught. It is a paradox that every dictator has climed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own. If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much. On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom. Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn. My mother said to me: Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them. Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. I, myself, have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute. They say everything in the world is good for something. I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. In composing, as a general rule, run your pen through every other word you hev writte; you have no idea what vigor it will give your style. A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. Time you enjoed wasting, is not wasted time. The duty of a true Patriot is to protect his country from its government. To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life. What I needed seemed to be absent everywhere. Look, let me put it this way: Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves. People live through such pain once. You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry. The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person of the present. None are so empty as those who are full of themselves. My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. No man can become rich without himself enriching others. We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather. The hardiest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn. It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else. True friendship is like sound healh, the value is seldom appreciated until it is lost. I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will. The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it. There is no support so strong as the strength that enables one to stand alone. To be able to say: Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses. People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take. Wealth consists not in having great posessions, but in having few wants. Indeed, freedom and the capacity for disobedience are inseparable; hence any social, political and religious system which proclaims freedom, yet stamps out disobedience, cannot speak the truth. Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teath, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humour. A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. A woman without a man is a fish without water. Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind. When the essence of things is not known in advance, words come by themselves. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live live within. Should we distrust the man because his manners are not our manners, and that his skin is dark? You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed by the masses. If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars. We are all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding. Age makes all things greater after their death; a name comes to the tongue easier from the grave. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life. There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courrage. To believe with certainty, somebody said, one has to begin by doubting. There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors. I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery. A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates. Poetry brings truth to a world full of lies. The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads to madness. In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all. You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way and the only way, it does not exist. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable. To be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. Lying is done with words and also with silence. There is only one way to avoid criticism: Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things. One of you is lying. Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few. I can never decide whether my dreams are the result of my thoughts, or my thoughts the result of my dreams. My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved. A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a light spent doing nothing. Every woman knows that, regardless of all her other achievements, she is a failure if she is not beautiful. Hoever big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him. Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter was it right. Every word has consequences. It is better to know some of the questions than to know all of the answers. Night time is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep. Writing is like prostitution. It may be impossible to have a revolution without crimes but that does not make revolution a crime. A weak man has doubts before a decision, a strong man has them afterwards. You know what the issue is with this world? Every one wants a magical solution to their problem, and every one refuses to believe in magic. The toddler must say no in order to find out who she is. The adolescent says no to assert who she is not. People who overly take care of their health are like misers. They hoard up a treasure which they never enjoy. In romantic love you want the other person. A man can be short and dumpy and getting bold but if he has fire, women will like him. If nothing saves us from death, may love at least save us from life. The Pure and Simple Truth is Rarely Pure and Never Simple. If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. There are two kinds of truth. The truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first is science, the secong is art. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman. The truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculious. Either I forget right away or I never forget. Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it. Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm. With mirth and laughter let the old wrinkles come. It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has maid it. Life is too short, and the time we waste in yawning never can be regained. In a history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour. No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent. I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read. If the writing is honest, it cannot be separated from the person who wrote it. This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone. No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men. Only the present has a right to exist because the past is only a memory and the future has no existence. Have more than you show, speak less than you know. You cannot find peace by avoiding life. There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen to write. Our greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another. Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outword together in the same direction. To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead. In the dark times, will there be singing? Yes, there will be singing. About the dark times. The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomack of a king! All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research. Beauty is no quality in things themselves: The real trouble with war modern war is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people. You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie. To be independent of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great. You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering. Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. There is no friend as loyal as a book. To be a successful father Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up. Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only? The unfed mind devours itself. Hay dos sistemas de lograr la felicidad: Two persent of the people think, three persent of the people think they think, and ninety-five persent of the people would rather die than think. It is never too late to be what you might have been. We have first raised a dust and then complain we cannot see. Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime and falling in at night. In times of deceit, telling the truth is a revutionery act. A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionetely in love with language. Love is not something people feel, but something people try to express no matter how they feel. We are here on earth to do good for others. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. The best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words. Bertrand Russell - My ten commandments 1. Do not lie to yourself. Do not lie to other people unless they are exercising tyranny. When you think it is your duty to inflict pain, scrutinize your reasons closely. When you desire power, examine yourself closely as to why you desrve it. When you have power, use it to build up people, not to constrict them. Do not attempt to live without vanity, since this is impossible, but choose the right audience from which to seek admiraton. Do not think of yourself as a wholly self-contained unit. Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
