He continued to conjure the Devil as before, and the Devil did mystify him.” […] “It appears that whatever Geoffrey has written either of Arthur, or his successors, or predecessors, is a fiction, invented either by himself or by others, and promulgated either through an unchecked propensity to falsehood, or a desire to please the Britons, of whom vast numbers are said to be so stupid as to assert that Arthur is yet to come.” […] “They rode up along the ridge and came into Thorsdardal, where they broke open Thorolf’s cairn. Thorolf’s body had not decayed but he was very hideous to look at.” […] “It is worth recording that in Poitou in our own time there was a woman possessed of a devil, which devil used to speak through her mouth, arguing and disputing most cleverly and astutely with intelligent and well-informed people.” […] “But the gods, whose chief seat was then at Byzantium, seeing that Odin had tarnished the fair name of godhead by divers injuries to its majesty, thought that he ought to be removed from their society.” […] “The elephants and musicians, and the various banners of red, white, yellow, and purple silk, made the earth seem like a paradise: with the blare of trumpets and the sound of harps, the squeal of bugles and the ringing of bells, it seemed as if Judgment Day had come.” […] “The archers adopted this scheme, and shot up into the air towards the English; and the arrows in falling struck their heads and faces, and put out the eyes of many; and all feared to open their eyes, or leave their faces unguarded.” […] “And as the day came, in early morning, he had women and men, young and old, impaled near the chapel and around the hill, and he sat amidst them, and at his morning meal with joy.” […] “Mount your horse, and ride naked, before all the people, through the market of the town, from one end to the other, and on your return you shall have your request.” […] “Thoas speared him as he swerved and sprang away, the lancehead piercing his chest above the nipple plunged deep in his lung, and Thoas, running up, wrenched the heavy spear from the man’s chest, drew his blade, ripping him across the belly, took his life but he could not strip his armor.” […] “Almonds make one sleepy, provoke urination, and bring on a woman’s period.” […] “The other assented, and, by the direction of his friend, proceeded to draw blood from his right arm. “I,” said the latter, “will drink of thy blood, and thou of mine; so that neither in prosperity nor in adversity shall our covenant be broken, and whatsoever the one gains, shall be divided by the other.” The foolish knight agreed; and they ratified the treaty by a draught of each other’s blood.” […] “Then Saint Lawrence gripped Stephen in the side and pinched him very hard.” […] “These three men are all drunkards!

Then, like the Three-legged One whose back is broken and whose head looks down upon the ground, like him, I say, they wander to escape the white snow.” […] “When these two wicked parties contracted with one another , Doctor Faustus took a penknife, pricked open a vein in his left hand, drained his blood into a crucible, set it on some hot coals and wrote as here followeth.” […] Once, indeed, it happened that this pontiff, meeting with a repulse from the king relative to some petition which he had urged, angrily turned his back in retiring, and threatened him with a curse instead of a blessing. The king, unable to bear his displeasure, fell at his feet, entreating forgiveness, and promising amendment.” […] When Snorri and his men arrive at the haystack, it is not mentioned that they exchanged any words.

Its spittle burned vultures’ wings, its venom scorched the earth; it snatched monsters from the sea and eagles from the air; the earth was emptied of people and flocks, every living thing retreated before it. When I saw that no one dared oppose it, I emptied my heart of fear and bound on my sword in God’s name.” […] “Gurth saw the English falling around, and that there was no remedy. He saw his race hastening to ruin, and despaired of any aid; he would have fled, but could not, for the throng continually increased.” […] “And thus he had the people scream miserably until they were boiled to death.” […] “Paris sprang from the Trojan forward ranks, a challenger, lithe, magnificent as a god, the skin of a leopard slung across his shoulders, a reflex bow at his back and battle-sword at his and brandishing two sharp spears tipped in bronze he strode forth, challenging all the Argive best to fight him face-to-face in mortal combat.” […] “The head is an empire, the stomach a kingdom, the belly a hovel, but the bladder is a hired hand.” […] “For by driving away the flies now saturated with my blood, I should afford an opportunity to those that were empty and hungry to supply their place. ” […] “Some prefer being at court to living in the country (though in the king’s service their labor is as burdensome, or more so) because, though they are of excellent kinship, they have little wealth and cannot engage in trade on account of their poverty.” […] “In reply to Your Majesty’s writing to me concerning the white ceremonial robes: “How many days should I keep on wearing them?” the king should wear them on the 20th and the 21st; two days are more than enough. On the 22nd he can dress normally.” […] “But at that time let me have a shady rock, then also let me drink bright wine, sitting in the shade, when my heart is satisfied with food, and so, turning my head to face the fresh wind.” […] “He likewise enjoyed cooked fare every day, for he was so cunning in sorcery that when he opened a window and named some fowl he desired, it came flying right in through the window. His spirit also brought him cooked meat of a most princely sort from the courts of the nobility in all territories round about.” […] “After every gentle shower, there exudes real, and as it were recent, blood, as though it were evidently proclaiming by this circumstance, that the voice of so much Christian gore still cries to the Lord from the ground, which hath opened her mouth, and drunk in that blood at the hands of Christian brethren.” […] “They went inside after they had finished unloading the hay, and took off their leather cloaks. Arnkel’s followers woke up and asked them where he was. It was as if the slave awoke from a dream, and he replied: “The truth is, he must be fighting Snorri the Godi at Orlygstadir now.”” […] “Hence, whenever he saw anyone who was a thief or a robber, but who was strong of arm and well-suited to warfare, he forgave him his just punishment, and sent him to the suburbs of Merseberg, where he distributed lands and arms, ordering these men to commit no depredations on their fellow-citizens but to practice their robberies upon the barbarians as much as they dared.” […] “When he left they questioned him closely and asked him who he really was. He said that he had been born to some rustic bedlam in the same parish, fathered on her by an incubus who had appeared in the shape of her husband.” […] “However, Thor was swinging his club with marvellous might, and shattered all interposing shields, calling as loudly on his foes to attack him as upon his friends to back him up. No kind of armour withstood his onset, no man could receive his stroke and live.” […] “The sky was clouded by the cavalry’s dust, and swords glittered in the dark like lightning; it was as if the air itself caught fire, flashing like diamonds and burning the ground. The din of weapons deafened the fighters, and fire ascended to the heavens.” […] “You are surely not fitly placed here among the dead. Many an Englishman lies bloody and mingled with the dead, but yet sound, or only wounded and besmeared with gore; tarrying of his own accord, and meaning to rise at night, and escape in the darkness. They would delight to take their revenge, and would sell their lives dearly; no one of them caring who killed him afterwards, if he but slew a Norman first; for they say we have done them much wrong.” […] “The famous spearman struck behind his skull, just at the neck-cord, the razor spear slicing straight up through the jaws, cutting away the tongue. He sank in the dust, teeth clenching the cold bronze.” […] “There is an extraordinarily tall story to the effect that if one covers the penis with it before intercourse, it acts as a contraceptive.” […] “”When I was a girl, and governed by a tyrant, I wished for his removal, and presently we obtained a worse instead. Having got rid of him, a worse still succeeded.” […] “”Inasmuch as I am now an invisible spirit, I cannot visibly come to have speech with physical man, unless I adorn my ugly countenance with a certain corporeal beauty.

He then returns and tales his (usual) place. He then blesses the king.” […] “One day our father came to this very place crossing over a great stretch of sea; he left Aeolian Cyme and fled, not from riches and substance, but from wretched poverty which Zeus lays upon men, and he settled near Helicon in a miserable hamlet, Ascra, which is bad in winter, sultry in summer, and good at no time.” […] The house of every man is to him as his castle and fortress. – Edward … The measure of a man is the way he bears up under misfortune. – Plutarch, … They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, … It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured. – Tacitus, 1st Century … It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured. – Tacitus, 1st Century … To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire, and where they … I begin to speak only when I’m certain what I’ll say isn’t better left unsaid. … Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. – Cato the Elder, … Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. – Cicero, 1st Century BC If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. – Cicero, … A room without books is like a body without a soul. – Cicero, 1st Century … The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he … When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I … In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. – Desiderius Erasmus, 16th … The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a … Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing … Fortune favors the bold. – Virgil, 1st Century BC The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral … All cruelty springs from weakness. – Seneca, 1st Century AD Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. – Seneca, 1st Century AD Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. – Seneca, 1st Century AD Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be.

His friends pressed him to comply, alleging that God could not possibly be offended, as he did it merely as a remedy, and not for sensual gratification.” […] “As the summer passed, they became aware that Thorolf was not resting in peace. People could never go outside in peace once the sun had set. As well as that, the oxen that had hauled Thorolf to his grave had been ridden by trolls, and all livestock which came anywhere near Thorolf’s cairn ran wild and bellowed themselves to death.” […] “But the king listened to wiser counsel, and was unwilling that the noblemen and elders of the people should be thus inconvenienced, and so he decreed that the matter should be decided by a tourney. ” […] The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is … Only the dead have seen the end of war. – Plato, 4th Century BC A friend to all is a friend to none. – Aristotle, 4th Century BC It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought … Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood. – Leonardo Da Vinci, … Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. – Leonardo Da Vinci, 16th Century AD Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. – Leonardo Da Vinci, 16th Century AD All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare. – Baruch Spinoza, 17th Century … If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise. – William Blake, … A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. – William Blake, … The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. – William Blake, Proverbs of … You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. – … If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, … Money makes a good servant, but a bad master. – Thomas Bacon Knowledge is Power. – Francis Bacon, Meditationes Sacrae Without music life would be a mistake. – Friedrich Nietzsche, Maxims and ArrowsImage Title Summary Categories Tags hf:categories hf:tags
