Quotes by George Hay

“Si hay esperanza, le pertenece a los proles””

“In the black hour before dawn, they stopped to let the horses drink and fed them each a handful of oats and a twist or two of hay. "We are not far from the place the wildlings died," said Qhorin. "From there, one man could hold a hundred. The right man." He looked at Squire Dalbridge.The squire bowed his head. "Leave me as many arrows as you can spare, brothers." He stroked his longbow. "And see my garron has an apple when you're home. He's earned it, poor beastie." He's staying to die, Jon realized.Qhorin clasped the squire's forearm with a gloved hand. "If the eagle flies down for a look at you...""...he'll sprout some new feathers.””

“But I being fond of true philosophy,Say very often to myself, 'Alas!All things that have been born were born to die,And flesh (which Death mows down to hay) is grass;You've pass'd your youth not so unpleasantly,And if you had it o'er again”

“Hay hombres que son como las espadas: nacen para luchar. Si los dejas inactivos, se oxidan.””

“«Hay peleas que no se pueden ganar con la espada»””

“Oh, sí, hay muchas cosas que no comprendemos. Pasan los años, cientos, miles, ¿y qué ve un hombre en su vida? Unos pocos veranos, unos pocos inviernos. Miramos las montañas y decimos que son eternas, así nos lo parecen... pero, en el curso del tiempo, las montañas se alzan y caen, cambia el curso de los ríos, mueren estrellas en el cielo y grandes ciudades se hunden debajo del mar. Incluso los dioses mueren. Todo cambia.””

“There was something very poetic about lying on the hay, beneath the polythene roof. This was how we had spent our first night, on the hay next to the bull in Harry Mann’s barn. During the 18 days in-between we had slept in a posh hotel, a canal boat, a student house, a pub, a tent in a car park, a hitman’s sitting room, an elderly lady’s spare bedroom, a hostel, a bunk house, a farm house, our own self-contained flat, our own house, and now we were back on the hay. We had gone full circle. Out of all of the different types of accommodation, our two nights on the hay were undoubtedly our most comfortable. Next time you hear the nativity story, don’t feel sorry for Mary and Joseph; they had it very lucky indeed.””

“Todo el mundo sabe lo que es un flechazo, el amor a primera vista; no hay forma de explicarlo. Sucede, no cabe duda de que sucede: una mirada, un gesto, en los que se decide toda una vida.””

“The ruin of a man's teaching comes of his followers, such as having never touched the foundation he has laid, build upon it wood, hay, and stubble, fit only to be burnt. Therefore, if only to avoid his worst foes, his admirers, a man should avoid system. The more correct a system the worse will it be misunderstood; its professed admirers will take both its errors and their misconceptions of its truths, and hold them forth as its essence.””

“En todos los conciertos clásicos que se dan en Inglaterra verás filas de gente cansada que están allí, no porque realmente les guste la música clásica, sino porque creen que deben estar. Pues bien, lo mismo pasa en el cielo. Hay muchos que están sentados en la gloria, no porque sean felices, sino porque creen que su posición les obliga a estar en el cielo.””

“«Hay fuerza hasta en la unión de los hombres más débiles», había dicho Homero.””
