Perhaps in this world you are just a person, but for someone you are the whole world.

(Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

We always have to choose who to let into our little world. You are also imperfect. This girl you met is also imperfect. The main thing is whether you are perfect for each other.

("Good Will Hunting")

Here's a simple test for falling in love: if, after spending four or five hours without your mistress, you start to miss her, then you are not in love - otherwise ten minutes of separation would be enough to make your life absolutely unbearable.

Love is a priceless gift. It's the only thing we can give and yet you keep it.

(L.N. Tolstoy)

To love is to see a person as God intended him to be.

(F.M. Dostoevsky)

Perhaps God wants us to meet the wrong people before we meet that one person. So that when it happens, we'll be grateful.

(Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

You can bloom with it and wither,
She will devour you like an aphid flower
But it's still better to die like that,
Than never loving anyone ...

(Johnny Depp)

Open your eyes wider, live as greedily as if you were going to die in ten seconds. Try to see the world. It is more beautiful than any dream created in a factory and paid for with money. Do not ask for guarantees, do not seek peace - there is no such beast in the world.

(Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)

You can't learn to skate if you're afraid to be funny. The ice of life is slippery.

(Bruno Jasensky, "Conspiracy of the Indifferent")

People make their own problems - no one forces them to choose boring professions, marry the wrong people or buy uncomfortable shoes.

5th place:


A beautiful woman is pleasing to the eyes, but kind to the heart; one is a beautiful thing, and the other a treasure.

It is not enough to be husband and wife, one must also become friends and lovers, so that later one does not look for them on the side.

(Japanese proverb)

Only one thing makes the fulfillment of a dream impossible - it is the fear of failure.

(Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist)

Do not look back and do not grieve for the past, because it is already gone. Don't worry about the future, because it hasn't arrived yet. Live in the present and make it so beautiful that you will remember it forever.

("One tree's hill")

Find a job you fall in love with and you'll never have to work another day in your life again.

(Confucius)

If we listened to our reason, we would never have a love relationship. We would never be friends. We would never go for it, because we would be cynical: “Something is wrong” or: “She will leave me” or: “I already burned myself once, and therefore ...” This is nonsense. So you can miss your whole life. Every time you need to jump off a cliff and grow wings on the way down.

Happiness can only be achieved through sacrifice.

("Butterfly Effect")

There is happiness, it is simpler than simple: it is someone's face.

(Frederic Begbeder, "Love Lives for Three Years")

Happiness is a property of character. Some have it in their nature to wait all the time, others continuously look for it, and others find it everywhere.

(Elchin Safarli, “You were promised to me”)

Disregarding common sense is a sure way to happiness.

("Pride and Prejudice")

Each text is built from a mosaic of quotes.
Julia Kristeva

Almost everything we say is either a quotation or a paraphrase.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A quotation is not an extract. Quote there is a cicada.
Osip Mandelstam

You can make the world's worst book out of quotes from the world's best writers.
Gilbert Chesterton

It is good to quote something that you do not understand at all, in a language that you understand with difficulty.
Voltaire

He is quoted so often that one might think that he wrote nothing but quotations.

George Bernard Shaw

A quote without a source is a clock without hands.
Paul Desalman

The more successful the phrase, the more contenders for authorship.

Pierre Daninos

In the history there are phrases of a maximum of seven words.

Elias Canetti

It is quite possible to convey any idea with quotes - if, of course, you have enough quotes.
James Murray

A quote whose time has come is stronger than an entire army.
V.I.E. Gates
Undoubtedly a hoax. Such a signature is only under two quotes - this one and about a man who drowned while crossing a river 6 inches deep. The earlier citation is presumably from the mid-1990s. In addition, the author's name sounds the same as the German expression Wie geht's, which means "How are you?". Looks like someone decided to fabricate a quote.

There is nothing more useless than a wise statement on a general topic.
Thomas Babington Macaulay

A distorted quote is the only one that is not threatened with distortion.
Hesketh Pearson

Distorting quotes is the prerogative of an educated person. A well-read person never quotes accurately, for the obvious reason - he reads too much.
Hesketh Pearson

Quote

Quote

(lat. cito - I cite), thematically, as well as syntactically or rhythmically isolated speech fragment of a work used in another work as a sign of "alien speech", as a reference to the content of an authoritative source. If the quote is inside the main text, it is always separated from the actual author's speech: punctuation (quotes) or syntactically (using the phrases "as he said", "as he said", "according to words"). Quote can be used in a text frame - serve epigraph or the title, like Lermontov's verse "The lonely sail turns white" in relation to the story of V.P. Kataeva. Quotations are either complete or incomplete (cf. Reminiscence). Often they are used to save artistic means that serve to express meaning: it is easier to refer to someone else's text, the ideas of which have long been mastered by readers, than to build detailed proofs of already known truths. But sometimes a reference to someone else's opinion is used not to confirm the correctness of the new author, but with the opposite goal - to "grow meaning" to speech material familiar to readers. So, A.S. Pushkin in the last stanza "Eugene Onegin" refers to a catchphrase from Saadi: "There are no others, and those are far away." This quote reports a classic situation of separation, but the poet puts a specific biographical meaning into it: “others” are dead lyceum students, and “those” are exiled Decembrists.

Quote

QUOTE- an excerpt from a literary work, cited with verbatim accuracy. The quotation is given either for the sake of documentary accuracy, or for the sake of its expressiveness. The first goal is carried out mainly in scientific works, the second - in works of art and in the community. The expressiveness of a quotation, in turn, may depend on the meaning directly inherent in it or on those connections that are established with the quoted context. The first kind of expressiveness is, for the most part, the expressiveness of a maxim: such are all the quotes-proverbs from Krylov's fables ("this, pike, science to you"), quotes-sayings from "Woe from Wit" ("Everyone lies calendars"). Their connection with the context is erased over time, leaving behind them an independent meaning. In this area, the ingenuity of the author is manifested in the choice of the most striking expression for the quote.

The second kind of expressiveness of a quotation (by its connection with the context) requires the ability to choose from the cited author exactly those words that most reflect his whole worldview, are most closely related to the entire cited work. Such is the well-known given in the verses of Vl. Solovyov's quote-paraphrase from Lermontov: "With eyes full of azure fire" (Lermontov: "With eyes full of azure fire"), a quote in which, thanks to the connection with the context, the whole world of Lermontov's eroticism is hidden.

The artistic possibilities of a quotation are manifested not only in the choice of quoted words, but also in their appropriate use: thus, on the one hand, a quotation acquires special expressiveness due to its connection with the quoted text, on the other hand, a reference to the quoted author or work would be inappropriate in a literary work. creativity, sounding prosaic - the author's task here is to emphasize the connection, but avoid direct reference. Examples of this technique are found in V. Bryusov: 1) in the poem "Treason" the words: "gloomy and dull fire of voluptuousness" sound like a somewhat modified quote from Tyutchev, - the connection of the quote with the world of Tyutchev's poetry is emphasized by the mention of Tyutchev's name in one of the previous lines; 2) in the poem "Mon rêve familier" the line "you are with me again, dreams of my creation” preceded by an epigraph from Lermontov “I love the dreams of my creation”, establishing a connection between the quote and the images of Lermontov's poetry.

Everything can be a teacher

    The only true courage is to be yourself.

    To become a blacksmith, you need to forge.

    The best teacher in life is experience. Takes expensive, but explains intelligibly.

    Learn from your mistakes. This possibility is the only thing that is useful in them.

Through thorns to the stars, drawing: caricatura.ru

    Courage, will, knowledge and silence are the property and weapons of those who follow the path of perfection.

    When the disciples' ears are ready to hear, a mouth appears ready to fill them with wisdom.

    The lips of wisdom are open only to the ears of understanding.

    Books give knowledge, but they cannot tell everything. First seek wisdom in the scriptures, and then seek the Highest instruction.

    The soul is a prisoner of its ignorance. She is chained by the chains of ignorance to an existence in which she cannot control her own destiny. The goal of each virtue is to eliminate one such chain.

    Those who gave you the body endowed it with weakness. But ALL that gave you a soul armed you with determination. Act decisively and you will be wise. Be wise and you will find happiness.

    The greatest treasures bestowed on man are judgment and will. Happy is he who knows how to use them.

    Everything can be a teacher.

    "I" chooses the teaching method "I".

    Renunciation of freedom of thought may mean the loss of the last opportunity to understand the laws of the universe.

    True knowledge comes from the higher path, which leads to the eternal Fire. Delusion, defeat and death arise when a person follows the lower path of earthly attachments.

    Wisdom is the child of learning; Truth is the child of wisdom and love.

    Death comes when the goal of life is reached; death shows the meaning of life.

    When you meet a disputer who yields to you, do not try to crush him with the force of your arguments. He is weak and will betray himself. Do not respond to evil words. Don't indulge your blind passion to win at any cost. You will defeat him already by the fact that those present will agree with you.

    True wisdom is far from stupidity. A wise man often doubts and changes his mind. The fool is stubborn and stands his ground, knowing everything but his ignorance.

    Only one part of the soul penetrates the earthly chain of time, while the other remains in timelessness.

    Avoid talking to many about your knowledge. Do not keep it selfishly for yourself, but do not expose it to the ridicule of the crowd. A loved one will understand the truth of your words. A distant one will never be your friend.

    May these words remain in the chest of your body and keep your tongue from idle talk.

    Beware of misunderstanding the teaching.

    The spirit is life, and the body is needed in order to live.

About friendship

A true friend is known in adversity. - Aesop

My friend is the one to whom I can tell everything. - V.G. Belinsky

As rare as true love is, true friendship is even rarer. - La Rochefoucauld

Affection can do without reciprocity, but friendship never. - J. Rousseau

Friedrich Nietzsche

  • A woman is considered profound, why?
    Because they can not find the reasons for her actions. The reason for her actions never lies on the surface.

    The same affects in men and women are different in tempo; that is why a man and a woman do not cease not to understand each other.

    Everyone bears in himself the image of a woman, perceived from his mother; this determines whether a man will honor women in general, or despise them, or, in general, treat them with indifference.

    If spouses did not live together, good marriages would occur more often.

    A lot of short madness - this is what you call love. And your marriage, like one long folly, puts an end to many short folly.

    Your love for your wife and your wife's love for her husband - oh, if only it could be pity for the suffering hidden gods! But almost always two animals guess each other.

    And even your best love is only an enthusiastic symbol and painful fervor. Love is the torch that should shine on your higher paths.

    A little good food often affects how we look at the future: hopefully or despondently. This is true even in relation to the most sublime and spiritual spheres of man.

    Sometimes sensuality overtakes love, the root of love remains weak, unattached, and it is not difficult to tear it out.

    We praise or blame, according to whether one or the other gives us a greater opportunity to discover the brilliance of our mind.
