Pride and Prejudice - Citação [2]

She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. - Mr. Darcy

Selos das obras de Jane Austen

Para comemorar o 200º aniversário de Orgulho e Preconceito, o Correio Real lançou uma série de selos mostrando os seis romances de Jane Austen. Ficaram lindos!

 Northanger Abbey

"She took her candle and looked closely at the cabinet ... The key was in the door, and she had a strange fancy to look into it; not, however, with the smallest expectation of finding anything, but it was so very odd, after what Henry had said. In short, she could not sleep till she had examined it. So, placing the candle with great caution on a chair, she seized the key with a very tremulous hand and tried to turn it; but it resisted her utmost strength. Alarmed, but not discouraged, she tried it another way; a bolt flew, and she believed herself successful; but how strangely mysterious! The door was still immovable. She paused a moment in breathless wonder. The wind roared down the chimney, the rain beat in torrents against the windows, and everything seemed to speak the awfulness of her situation."

 Emma

"'To be sure,' cried Emma, 'it is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage. A man always imagines a woman to be ready for any body who asks her.'"

 Persuasion

"When they came to the steps, leading upwards from the beach, a gentleman, at the same moment preparing to come down, politely drew back, and stopped to give them way. They ascended and passed him; and as they passed, Anne's face caught his eye, and he looked at her with a degree of earnest admiration, which she could not be insensible of. She was looking remarkably well; her very regular, very pretty features, having the bloom and freshness of youth restored by the fine wind which had been blowing on her complexion, and by the animation of eye which it had also produced. It was evident that the gentleman, (completely a gentleman in manner) admired her exceedingly. Captain Wentworth looked round at her instantly in a way which shewed his noticing of it. He gave her a momentary glance, a glance of brightness, which seemed to say, 'That man is struck with you, and even I, at this moment, see something like Anne Elliot again.'"

 Mansfield Park

"There certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them."

 Pride and Prejudice

"As she stood before the canvas on which he was represented, and fixed his eyes upon herself, she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of gratitude than it had ever raised before; she remembered its warmth, and softened its impropriety of expression."

Sense and Sensibility

"On opening the door, she saw Marianne stretched on the bed, almost choked by grief, one letter in her hand, and two or three others laying by her. Elinor drew near, but without saying a word; and seating herself on the bed, took her hand, kissed her affectionately several times, and then gave way to a burst of tears, which at first was scarcely less violent than Marianne's. The latter, though unable to speak, seemed to feel all the tenderness of this behaviour, and after some time thus spent in joint affliction, she put all the letters into Elinor's hands; and then covering her face with her handkerchief, almost screamed with agony."

To This Day

Como se as cordas do coração partido sangrassem as tristezas quado tentássemos nos esvaziar para não sentir nada. Não me diga que isso dói menos do que um osso quebrado. Que uma vida encravada é algo que um cirurgião resolva e que não vai haver metástase. Vai.

[...]

E se você não consegue ver algo bonito a seu respeito, arranje um espelho melhor, olhe mais perto, encare por mais tempo. Por que há algo dentro de você que o fez continuar tentando apesar de todos que disseram para você desistir. Você engessou seu coração partido e você mesmo assinou nele: "Eles estavam errados".

[...]

Brotamos de uma raiz plantada na crença de que não somos aquilo que nos chamavam. Que não somos carros abandonados empacados e vazios numa rodovia. E mesmo que de alguma forma sejamos, não se preocupe. Só saímos para buscar combustível.

"To This Day" - Um poema por Shane Koyczan

Autobiografia Agatha Christie - Citação [3]

[...] o maravilhoso instante na vida de um escritor que apesar de breve, nos empolga com uma espécie de vigor e nos arrasta como a onda ao nos impelir para a praia. 'É ótimo, estou conseguindo, está dando certo, o que vou escrever a seguir?' Há também aquele momento inestimável em que temos a visão da obra - não no palco, mas em nossa mente.

Autobiografia Agatha Christie - Citação [2]

Ao contrário do que algumas pessoas pensam, nunca tive, durante a guerra, dificuldade em escrever. Suponho que isso se deve ao fato de eu ter criado uma espécie de compartimento especial em minha mente. Eu podia viver dentro de meus livros, viver com as pessoas sobre as quais escrevia, murmurando as suas conversas e vendo-as caminhar pelo quarto que para elas inventara.

Once Upon a Time

Season 1 Episode 14: "Dreamy"

One Dance

There is music in the air, can you hear it? 

It's in two, no, maybe three or maybe four 

And I see me dressed in white 

With two feet that feel so light 

It's as though as they've never ever touched the floor 

One dance, just you and me

Beneath the moon, beside the sea 

One dance and it's happily ever after 

One dance and you will see 

We're not so different, you and me 

Just us two, me and you 

One dance 

There are stars that fill the night, can you see them? 

There are two, or three or gee, a million more 

And I see in their light 

Oh me? A dance? All right 

Just to move and glide with you across the floor 

One dance, just you and me 

Beneath the moon, beside the sea 

One dance and it's happily ever after 

One dance and you will see 

We're not so different, you and me 

Just us two, me and you 

I would change who I am 

Change the sea for the sand 

Just to stand with you 

I would leap at the chance 

For a glimpse of a glance 

Of one dance with you 

One dance, just you and me 

Beneath the moon, beside the sea 

One dance and it's happily ever after 

One dance and you will see 

We're not so different, you and me 

Just us two, dream come true 

One dance 

One dance

One Dance - Jodi Benson

The Little Mermaid

Uma música que seja

Uma música que seja

... como os mais belos harmônicos da natureza. Uma música que seja como o som do vento na cordoalha dos navios, aumentando gradativamente de tom até atingir aquele em que se cria uma reta ascendente para o infinito. Uma música que comece sem começo e termine sem fim. Uma música que seja como o som do vento numa enorme harpa plantada no deserto. Uma música que seja como a nota lancinante deixada no ar por um pássaro que morre. Uma música que seja como o som dos altos ramos das grandes árvores vergastadas pelos temporais. Uma música que seja como o ponto de reunião de muitas vozes em busca de uma harmonia nova. Uma música que seja como o vôo de uma gaivota numa aurora de novos sons...
