Spectateur De Dos Quotes

« Demain, dès l'aube… »


Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.

Je ne regarderai ni l'or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.


Tomorrow, At Dawn
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will set out. You see, I know that you wait for me.
I will go by the forest, I will go by the mountain.
I can no longer remain far from you.

I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Seeing nothing of outdoors, hearing no noise
Alone, unknown, my back curved, my hands crossed,
Sorrowed, and the day for me will be as the night.

I will not look at the gold of evening which falls,
Nor the distant sails going down towards Harfleur,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and of flowering heather ~ Victor Hugo

The waves lie on the beach; Your hair on your back of angel. (Les vagues s'allongent sur la plage; - Tes cheveux sur ton dos d'ange. ) ~ Charles De Leusse

This time when we kissed, he didn't pull away, and I was close enough to his mouth for him to whisper what the tiny old vaquero had said a long time ago, the part of being of two worlds. "Tu eres de dos mundos." I closed both of my eyes, the blue one and the brown one, so I could be in just one world, his... ~ Laura McNeal

He whispered in his damaged voice: Tú eres de dos mundos. He was wrong, of course. You can only belong to one world at a time. ~ Lauren McNeal

Progress is nothing but the victory of laughter over dogma. ~ Benjamin De Casseres

Everything has a spirit and it's all connected. If you think about that, if you live your life by it, then you're less likely to cause any hurt. It's like how our bodies go back into the ground when we die, so that connects us to the earth. If you dump trash, you're dumping it on your and my ancestors. Or to bring it down to its simplest level: treat everything and everybody the way you want to be treated, because when you hurt someone, you're only hurting yourself. ~ Charles De Lint

Those who have abandoned themselves to God always lead mysterious lives and receive from him exceptional and miraculous gifts by means of the most ordinary, natural and chance experiences in which there appears to be nothing unusual. The simplest sermon, the most banal conversations, the least erudite books become a source of knowledges and wisdom to these souls by virtue of God's purpose. This is why they carefully pick up the crumbs which clever minds tread underfoot, for to them everything is precious and a source of enrichment. ~ Jean-Pierre De Caussade

I have known the love
and vengeance of wounded women,
and the difficult book
and the music that took
the place of tenderness.
I have made loud love,
brief love, loveless love.
I have loved in secret
and in vain. ~ Ricardo M. De Ungria

Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra

From the heights of heaven Jesus Christ mercifully looks down upon you and graciously invites you there. ~ Francis De Sales

The flower you single out is a rejection of all other flowers; nevertheless, only on these terms is it beautiful. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery

Sweetness is the opposite of machismo, which is everywhere-and I really don't get on with machismo. I'm interested in sensitivity, and weakness, and fear, and anxiety, because I think that, at the end of the day, behind our masks, that's what we are. ~ Alain De Botton

In a way, there's nothing more intimate than a piece of jewelry. A painting is hung on somebody's wall. You put a piece of furniture in your home. But jewelry is worn by a person, so there is a fascination with the history of a piece. ~ Simon De Pury

Yet our world of abundance, with seas of wine and alps of bread, has hardly turned out to be the ebullient place dreamt of by our ancestors in the famine-stricken years of the Middle Ages. The brightest minds spend their working lives simplifying or accelerating functions of unreasonable banality. Engineers write theses on the velocities of scanning machines and consultants devote their careers to implementing minor economies in the movements of shelf-stackers and forklift operators. The alcohol-inspired fights that break out in market towns on Saturday evenings are predictable symptoms of fury at our incarceration. They are a reminder of the price we pay for our daily submission at the altars of prudence and order - and of the rage that silently accumulates beneath a uniquely law-abiding and compliant surface. ~ Alain De Botton

I love to find new people. It's not for the sake of their being new; it's because if you find someone who perfectly fits a part, that's such a great thing. ~ Robert De Niro

Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination, and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries. ~ Marquis De Sade

On neither the sun, nor death, can a man look fixedly. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Extreme boredom provides its own antidote. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Trust is the action of faith. ~ Gerard De Marigny

The ultimate law of language is, dare we say, that nothing can ever reside in a single term. This is a direct consequence of the fact that linguistic signs are unrelated to what they designate and that, therefore, 'a' cannot designate anything without the the aid of 'b' and vice versa, or, in other words, that both have value only by the difference between them. ~ Ferdinand De Saussure

I never had worked in high fashion before, had never experienced it when I was a model before. I appreciate it, being able to work with such talented people; it feels like a gift now. I think for everyone everything happens at the right time, and this is my time. ~ Saskia De Brauw

When a workman is unceasingly and exclusively engaged in the fabrication of one thing, he ultimately does his work with singular dexterity; but, at the same time, he loses the general faculty of applying his mind to the direction of the work. His every day becomes more of adroit and less industrious; so that it may be said of him, that, in proportion as the workman improves, the man is degraded. Alexis de Tocqueville ~ George F. Will

Few know how to be old. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

If this life is unhappy, it is a burden to us, which it is difficult to bear; if it is in every respect happy, it is dreadful to be deprived of it; so that in either case the result is the same, for we must exist in anxiety and apprehension. ~ Jean De La Bruyere

A difficult young man, they had been told, thought John Erskine. How difficult he could not have dreamed; nor could James, standing silent beside him. Then James said, 'A brilliant rogue. We do better without him.'

'Perhaps,' said the other man thoughtfully. 'Indeed, he blocked every sally but one. Until you told him, he did not know his brother was a Calvinist.'

'So? You heard him,' said James.

'Ah, yes. I heard what he said,' answered Erskine. 'But I rather think the interest will lie in what the comte de Sevigny does. ~ Dorothy Dunnett

Habit is second nature. ~ Michel De Montaigne

Your orders are charming; your manner of giving them still more delightful; you would make tyranny itself adored. ~ Pierre-Ambroise Choderlos De Laclos

The hamadryas baboon is a harem holder where one male mates with multiple females. ~ Frans De Waal

Most important, in order to find real happiness, you must learn to love yourself for the totality of who you are and not just what you look like. ~ Portia De Rossi

The profit we possess after study is to have become better and wiser. ~ Michel De Montaigne

A man can keep another's secret better than his own. A woman her own better than others. ~ Jean De La Bruyere

The perpetual work of your life is but to lay the foundation of death. ~ Michel De Montaigne

The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville

The day exhausts me, irritates me. It is brutal, noisy. I struggle to get out of bed, I dress wearily and, against my inclination, I go out. I find each step, each movement, each gesture, each word, each thought as tiring as if I were lifting a crushing weight. ~ Guy De Maupassant

France is a country that loves to change their government if it is always the same. ~ Honore De Balzac
