"If your brains were dynamite, there wouldn’t be enough to blow your hat off."

~ Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
(Chapter 14)


"There is no way a beautiful woman can live up to what she looks like for any appreciable length of time." (ib. Ch 6)

"World War II was... the Western Civilization's second unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide."
(ib. Ch 19)

"I will say, too, that lovemaking, if sincere, is one of the best ideas Satan put in the apple she gave to the serpent to give to Eve. The best idea in that apple, though, is making jazz." (ib. Ch 24)

"In real life, as in Grand Opera, arias only make hopeless situations worse." (ib. Ch 32)

Live for nothing or die for something, λέει ο Τζον Ράμπο (και στον υπότιτλο μεταφράζεται ως Ζήσε για τίποτα ή πέθανε για κάτι).

Στην πραγματικότητα είναι αντιστροφή (και παραφθορά) του Better to fight for something than live for nothing, που είπε ο Τζορτζ Πάτον.

Η διαφορά στη φιλοσοφία (και όχι μόνο...) των δύο αντρών, ολοφάνερη. :rolleyes:

Δεν είναι αντιστροφή κττμά, είναι αναδιατύπωση — με την ίδια ακριβώς κεντρική ιδέα.

Μια στιγμή. Σύμφωνα με κάποιους, π.χ. αυτούς:
http://www.generalpatton.com/quotes/
ή αυτούς:
https://www.google.com/search?q="Li...g"&btnG=Search+Books&tbm=bks&tbo=1&gws_rd=ssl
ο Πάτον είπε:
Live for something rather than die for nothing

Το συνήθως αξιόπιστο Wikiquote δεν έχει ούτε το ένα ούτε το άλλο.

This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning

Ο Κασιμάτης θυμάται σήμερα την ατάκα του Τσώρτσιλ, που ειπώθηκε σε επίσημο γεύμα και σε θριαμβευτικό τόνο μόλις έγιναν γνωστά τα νέα από τη συμμαχική νίκη στο Ελ Αλαμέιν. Ακούστε τον εδώ. The Bright Gleam of Victory.

Έχει κι άλλα ενδιαφέροντα:

I have never promised anything but blood, tears, toil, and sweat. Now, however, we have a new experience. We have victory —a remarkable and definite victory.

The bright gleam has caught the helmets of our soldiers, and warmed and cheered all our hearts.

The late M. Venizelos observed that in all her wars England —he should have said Britain, of course— always wins one battle the last. It would seem to have begun rather earlier this time.

All the various elements in our line of battle played their parts Indian troops, Fighting French, the Greeks, the representatives of Czechoslovakia and the others who took part. The Americans ...


We mean to hold our own. I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.

Ατάκα το λες και δεν το λες. Αξίζει όμως, γιατί και μόνο για να διαβάσεις το πρωτότυπο σιχτιρίζεις:

A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave; a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service; and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
