One of the surest evidences of an elevated taste is the power of enjoying works of impassioned terrorism, in poetry, and painting. The man who can look at impassioned subjects of terror with a feeling of exultation may be certain he has an elevated taste. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
One more consideration also weighed with Smiley, though in his paper he is too gentlemanly to mention it. A lot of ghosts walked in those post-fall days, and one of them was a fear that, buried somewhere in the Circus, lay Bill Haydon's chosen successor: that Bill had brought him on, recruited and educated him against the very day when he himself, one way or another, would fade from the scene. Sam was originally a Haydon nominee. His later victimisation by Haydon could easily have been a put-up job. Who was to say, in that very jumpy atmosphere, that Sam Collins, manoeuvring for readmission, was not the heir elect to Haydon's treachery?
For all these reasons George Smiley put on his raincoat and got himself out on the street. Willingly, no doubt - for at heart, he was still a case man. Even his detractors gave him that. ~ John Le Carre
Haydon quotes by John Le Carre
Haydon had found his charm again. He could do that at the drop of a hat. He drew you and he repelled you. I remember that exactly. He danced all ways for you, playing your emotions against each other because he had none of his own. ~ John Le Carre
Haydon quotes by John Le Carre
Religion is the resolute following of the star of hope through triumphs and tragedies of time. ~ Eustace Haydon
Haydon quotes by Eustace Haydon
Nothing is difficult; it is only we who are indolent. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Danger is the very basis of superstition. It produces a searching after help supernaturally when human means are no longer supposed to be available. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
The greatest geniuses have always attributed everything to God, as if conscious of being possessed of a spark of His divinity. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
When you're of a different race people distrust you because they are afraid. If you don't give them reason to dislike you, it becomes their problem, not yours. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
The giant Bolg settled back again. "By the sea. "Twas jammed in the sand between them shipwrecks we told you about. Thought o' you and that you might like it, 'specially when the dreams are too strong." Tears glinted in her eyes again. "You are the most wonderful Bolg that ever lived, did you know that?" You are the most wonderful girl in the world. "Damn right," said Grunthor smugly. Rhapsody laughed, blinking away the tears. "Now, put your 'ead back down and cover your up-ear with it. Maybe it'll sing you to sleep. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
The longer a man lives in this world the more he must be convinced that all domestic quarrels had better never be obtruded on the public; for, let the husband be right, or let him be wrong, there is always a sympathy existing for women which is certain to give the man the worst of it. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Do your duty, and don't swerve from it. Do that which your conscience tells you to be right, and leave the consequences to God. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Don't panic. Panic will kill you when nothing else wants to. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Allo, darlin'. Oi'm so glad to see it's love at first sight for you, too. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
I think I knew even then it would be my maps that would take me across the world, to places and people unknown and into cultures otherwise closed to me. In mapping them I would come to know them a little and at times my very eagerness pained me. ~ Julie Haydon
Haydon quotes by Julie Haydon
There must be more malice than love in the hearts of all wits. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
How difficult it is to get men to believe that any other man can or does act from disinterestedness! ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Beware of the beginnings of vice. Do not delude yourself with the belief that it can be argued against in the presence of the exciting cause. Nothing but actual flight can save you. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Oi'm always noble, sir; it's in my blood. 'As been ever since Oi ate that knight a few years back. Why? ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
May the stars guide you. May the winds cleanse all ills and remain at your back. May the earth protect you and give you strength. May fire guard you, and rain refresh you, may all nature be your friend until we meet again in this place. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
George Smiley: [quoting an old letter from Bill Haydon about Jim Prideaux] He has that heavy quiet that commands. He's my other half. Between us we'd make one marvelous man. He asks nothing better than to be in my company or that of my wicked, divine friends, and I'm vastly tickled by the compliment. He's virgin, about eight foot tall, and built by the same firm that did Stonehenge ~ John Le Carre
Haydon quotes by John Le Carre
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Temperance in everything is requisite for happiness. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Take the Friendmaker, for instance. Oi called 'im that , and now, when people see 'im, they instantly want to be my friend. Those that live, o' course. - Grunthor ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
Men who have reached and passed 45, have a look as if waiting for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly sure of having found out the secret of this. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
You may find that when you try to live in two worlds you are at home in neither of them. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Haydon was more than his model, he was his inspiration, the torch-bearer of a certain kind of English calling which - for the very reason that it was vague and understated and elusive - had made sense of Guillam's life till now. ~ John Le Carre
Haydon quotes by John Le Carre
What's the matter, Yer Ladyship?" "I don't think I can do this," she whispered, hating herself for the admission of weakness. "O' course you can, darlin'. Just take your time." "I'm Lirin - " The Firbolg giant chuckled. "'Ey, don't remind me. Oi ain't eaten recently." ========== The Symphony of Ages (Haydon, Elizabeth) - Your Highlight on Location 2224-2225 | Added on Friday, February 20, 2015 6:55:03 PM ~ Anonymous
Haydon quotes by Anonymous
Ven' is the Nain word for 'and.' It was my first word, and so was added to my name at the age of three, when I first spoke it. That is the Nain tradition; each child's first word becomes an official part of his or her name. As a result, three of my brothers are Petar Da-da Polypheme, Osgod No! Polypheme, and Linus Poo-poo Polypheme.

Personally, I think the Nain should rethink this tradition.

As for my name, I think perhaps there should be a question mark after it - 'and?' - as if life is always posing the question of what I am to do next. I was born with more than my share of curiosity, and it gets me into a frightful amount of trouble. I want to know what comes next from the time I wake up in the morning, wondering what the day will hold, till the moment I fall asleep, imagining where my dreams will take me at night. It's like an itch; my skin or scalp hums with excitement whenever my curiosity starts to take over. And? And? And? Scratching it does nothing to help; the itch doesn't go away, and I just look like I have dandruff or fleas. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
Genius is nothing more than common faculties refined to a greater intensity. There are no astonishing ways of doing astonishing things. All astonishing things are done by ordinary materials. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Grunthor's hand came to rest on her back as she teetered on her fibrous perch. She was almost on eye level with him, and within those amber eyes, remarkable in their humanity above the rest of the monstrous face, there was a distinct look of sympathy. "The door is gone, miss; Oi'm sorry. We 'ave to press on, we can't go back." Rhapsody whirled around and glared down at Achmed, her eyes blazing green in the light of the torch. "What do you mean, we can't go back? We have to go back - you have to let me out. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
The safest principle through life, instead of reforming others, is to set about perfecting yourself. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Satan is to be punished eternally in the end, but for a while he triumphs. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
...as dark as the night gets without a moon, it is really not true darkness. It's just waiting for light to return. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
Second, and far more important: tuck your chin. You're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You may as well see it coming. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
We are a compound of both here and hereafter; we shall be made responsible for the actions of both while here. Anything beyond this is beyond our power to prove, and would be of no real value if we could. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Never disregard what your enemies say. They may be severe, they may be prejudiced, they may be determined to see only in one direction, but still in that direction see clearly. They do not speak all the truth, but they generally speak the truth from one point of view; so far as that goes, attend to them. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
You're as good as any other living soul on this earth. Whether other people know that or not doesn't really matter as long as you do. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
Ryle Hira: Life is what it is ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
So now you know that, as dark as the depths of the sea may be, as dark as the night gets without a moon, it is not really true darkness. It's just waiting for light to return. There are places that are truly dark in this world, Ven, but this place here, this open stretch of sea where you are floating, is not one of them. It's not really dark here - it's just night. If you hang on and stay awake, in a short while the edges of the sky will start to turn gray, then pink, and the sun will rise, and there will be blue above and all around you again. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
Invention is totally independent of the will. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
I had always thought of home not as a house, or even a place, but a feeling of safety and acceptance, a warm light when the rest of the world was a dark, forbidding place.
Whenever my family was around, wherever we were, I felt like I was home. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
The corn is planted first, followed by beans, then squash between the rows.They are called the Three Sisters. They sustain each other, the earth, and us. But the Big Ones do not know that. They do not care for the earth, and its children, properly. ~ Elizabeth Haydon
Haydon quotes by Elizabeth Haydon
All government is an evil, but, of the two form's of that evil, democracy or monarchy, the sounder is monarchy; the more able to do its will, democracy. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Haydon quotes by Benjamin Haydon
Newton's health, and confusion to mathematics. ~ Benjamin Haydon
