Читать книгу The Bones of Wolfe - James Carlos Blake - Страница 6
ОглавлениеBone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, weal or woe.
—John Milton, Paradise Lost
Do what thy manhood bids thee do
From none but self expect applause;
He noblest lives and noblest dies
Who makes and keeps his self-made laws.
—Sir Richard Francis Burton
Yes, I am proud; I must be proud to see
Men not afraid of God, afraid of me.
—Alexander Pope, “Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot”
Life is contemptuous of knowledge; it forces it to sit in the anterooms, to wait outside. Passion, energy, lies: these are what life admires.
—James Salter, Light Years
