| 9ef132d | Elizabeth set an example to the monarchs of her day and of subsequent epochs, in that she never arrogated to herself the position of ruler of England, but assumed the more modest role of administrator, of carrier-out of the folk-will, of servitor to the national mission; she understood the trends of the epoch that was emerging from an autocratic regime into a constitutional regime. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 0f5d51d | It is generally accepted that getting rich is the only and typical goal of the Jew. Nothing could be further from the truth. Riches are to him merely a stepping stone, a means to the true end, and in no sense the real goal. The real determination of the Jew is to rise to a higher cultural plane in the intellectual world. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 1e35735 | In earlier times, when there was a rage for physiognomy, a Gall might have dissected the brains of such chess champions to determine whether there was a special convolution in their gray matter, a kind of chess muscle or chess bump more strongly marked than in the skulls of others. And how excited such a physiognomist would | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 92214fe | Pity, like morphine, does the sick good only at first. It is a means of helping them to feel better, but if you don't get the dose right and know where to stop it becomes a murderous poison. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| fe6bca8 | Consciously or unconsciously, our education renders us slaves to morals, religion and a perceived vision of the world; our breath is the air of the epoch in which we live. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 09dd42d | The clouds floating white and restless in the sky were those you see only in May or June. They were innocent companions, still young and flighty, who ran playfully across the blue road to hide suddenly behind high mountains, linking arms and running away, sometimes crumpling up like handkerchiefs, sometimes unravelling into streamers, and eventually playing a practical joke by setting themselves down on the mountain like white caps. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| c0d6a02 | How Lilliputian all those anxieties were, how serene that time! | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 7f65d8b | Not one of the European rulers would put himself about in the attempt to save Marie Antoinette, so that Mercy scornfully declared: "They would not have tried to save her even if they had with their own eyes seen her mounting the steps to the guillotine." | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 0c13fc4 | The woman who had been born in an imperial palace, and then, as Queen of France, had had hundreds of rooms in her dwelling house, was now imprisoned in a tiny basement cell, its walls streaming with damp, and its grated window half occluded. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| e519206 | A life without envy, hatred and lies was not a life worth living. | hatred lies madame-de-prie twilight | Stefan Zweig | |
| 753c942 | That...that was how I spent the day, just waiting, waiting, waiting...but waiting like a man running amok, senselessly, like an animal, with that headlong, direct persistance. | waiting | Stefan Zweig | |
| 5458360 | A well-chosen tie could make me almost merry; a good book, an excursion in a motor car or an hour with a woman left me fully satisfied. It particularly pleased me to ensure that this way of life, like a faultlessly correct suit of English tailoring, did not make me conspicuous in any way. I believe I was considered pleasant company, I was popular and welcome in society, and most who knew me called me a happy man. | pleasures leisure happy-man | Stefan Zweig | |
| 3568e79 | For tradition also and always means inhibition. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 65608ec | The desire to ascend in the social scale does not make itself felt until the intellect awakens. Up to the tenth, and often up to the fifteenth year, almost every child belonging to a well-to-do family envies its proletarian schoolmates, to whom so many things are permissible which for the "respectable" are placed under taboo." | Stefan Zweig | ||
| af4cd3b | She did what is the most dangerous thing anyone can do in politics; she discoursed without having the most remote acquaintance with the subject; she amateurishly thrust her fingers into every pie, interfering in matters of the utmost moment; she used her overwhelming influence with the King exclusively on behalf of her favorites. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 26267c9 | Making music, dancing, the theater, conversation, proper and urbane deportment, these were cultivated here as particular arts. It was not the military, nor the political, nor the commercial, that was predominant in the life of the individual and of the masses. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 18962f4 | The Minister-President or the richest magnate could walk the streets of Vienna without anyone turning around, but a court actor or an opera singer was recognized by every salesgirl and every cabdriver. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| df095ed | But this first installation was by no means the last. Every year the Queen had some new fancy for beautifying her miniature kingdom with more highly artificial and more "natural" additions and alterations." | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 177135b | she was never to be allowed to exchange a word with him; and that she was forbidden to pay him a visit even when he was ailing. He was quarantined from her as if she had been suffering from the plague. She was actually forbidden to converse with Simon the shoemaker, the boy's tutor, from whom she might have gleaned a little information about her son. His seclusion from her was to be unconditional and absolute. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| d8c7b06 | The beautiful dream of young love that ventures only on half-measures, that desires and dares not ask, promises and does not give. He was homeless in the noble sense of those who, like the Vikings and pirates of beauty, have collected in their intellectual raids all that is most precious in many great cities. He was close to all the arts in the manner of a dilettante, but stronger than his love for them was his sublime disdain to serve them.. | Zweig Stefan | ||
| 2caf351 | I am not one to compare long melodies as did Mozart. I can't get beyond short themes. But what I can do, is to utilize such a theme, paraphrase it and extract everything that is in it, and I don't think there's anybody today who can match me at that. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 0acc4ab | She tries to think, but the monotonous stuttering of the wheels breaks the flow of her thoughts, and the narcotic cowl of sleep tightens over her throbbing forehead--that muffled and yet overpowering railroad-sleep in which one lies rapt and benumbed as though in a shuddering black coal sack made of metal. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 3069168 | la sola idea de un libro con palabras alineadas, renglones, paginas y hojas, la sola idea de un libro en el que leer, perseguir y capturar pensamientos nuevos, frescos, diferentes de los mios, pensamientos para distraerse y para atesorarlos en mi cerebro, esa sola idea era capaz de embriagarme y tambien de serenarme. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 194dce7 | One goes wherever one is still admitted. Someone told me that I might be able to get a visa for Haiti or San Domingo here. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 8d2f5c3 | No envy is more mean than that of small-minded beings when they see a neighbor lifted, as though borne aloft by angels, out of the dull drudgery of their common existence; petty spirits are more ready to forgive a prince the most fabulous wealth than a fellow-sufferer beneath the same yoke the smallest degree of freedom. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 7433b66 | that the whole nation, tired of war, actually only longed for order, quiet, and a little security and bourgeois life. And, secretly it hated the republic, not because it suppressed this wild freedom, but on the contrary, because it held the reins too loosely. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| e657259 | States of profound happiness, like all other forms of intoxication, are apt to befuddle the wits; intense enjoyment of the present always makes one forget the past. | Stefan Zweig | ||

| 6a2a4f5 | The instinct for self-deception in human beings makes them try to banish from their minds dangers of which at bottom they are perfectly aware by declaring them non-existent. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 7aad5ee | Y es que en la Tierra, el ejemplo es la ligazon mas fuerte entre los hombres; toda accion despierta en los demas la voluntad de actuar con rectitud, de salir del sopor de la somnolencia y de llenar las horas de actividad. | Stefan Zweig | ||
