Lad Quotes
Mahomet was only fourteen; had no language but his own: much in Syria must have been a strange unintelligible whirlpool to him. But the eyes of the lad were open; glimpses of many things would doubtless be taken in, and lie very enigmatic as yet, which were to ripen in a strange way into views, into beliefs and insights one day. These journeys to Syria were probably the beginning of much to Mahomet. One other circumstance we must not forget: that he had no school-learning; of the thing we call school-learning none at all.
Thomas Carlyle
A king has soldiers, servants, messengers, lieutenants. He governs through his servants. Where are the servants of this-Anti-king?”
"In our minds, lad. In our minds. The traitor, the self; the self that cries I want to live; let the world burn so long as I can live! The little traitor soul in us, in the dark, like the worm in the apple.
Ursula K. Le Guin
And how madly we did worship! And how sweet it was to worship! Ah, lad, cherish love's young dream while it lasts! You will know too soon how truly little Tom Moore sang when he said that there was nothing half so sweet in life. Even when it brings misery it is a wild, romantic misery, all unlike the dull, worldly pain of after-sorrows. When you have lost her-when the light is gone out from your life and the world stretches before you a long, dark horror, even then a half-enchantment mingles with your despair.
Jerome K. Jerome
Well lad, this is what you have chosen. Are you pleased with yourself?"
"I am alive," said Bane.
"And eight men are dead," said Landis. "Eight souls cast out of the world. More mothers to grieve, more children to know sorrow. Is this a life you want for yourself?”
"No it is not," Bane told him. "But we do what we must.”
"Not true! We do what we choose. And we face the consequences.
David Gemmell
I have warned you over and over that for every physical effect there is a psychic cause. You see the effect - the cause is just as visible. Can you imagine that Man is here made in the image of his Almighty, when he pollutes that which the Almighty, as it is said, has given to him when he pollutes even himself? This is not democracy, my lad, it is modern American inhumanity. This is not civilization, it is CALIBAN !
Louis Sullivan
