Citáty Alessandro Manzoni

„Vy boháči, musíte kríž hľadať, kým chudáci ho stále nosia na pleciach.“

— Alessandro Manzoni

„Skutoční proroci majú skôr odvahu mlčať, než odvahu hovoriť.“

— Alessandro Manzoni

O odvahe

„Bullies, oppressors and all men who do violence to the rights of others are guilty not only of their own crimes, but also of the corruption they bring into the hearts of their victims.“

— Alessandro Manzoni
The Betrothed

„One of the greatest comforts of this life is friendship; and one of the comforts of friendship is that of having someone we can trust with a secret. But friendship does not pair us off into couples, as marriage does; each of us generally has more than one friend to his name, and so a chain is formed, of which no man can see the end. When we allow ourselves the comfort of depositing a secret in the bosom of a friend, we inspire him with the wish to enjoy the same comfort for himself. It is true that we always ask him not to tell anyone else; and this is a condition which, if taken literally, would break the series of comforting confidences at once. But the general practice is to regard the obligation as one which prevents a man from passing the secret on, except to an equally trusted friend and on the same condition of silence. From trusted friend to trusted friend, the secret travels and travels along an unending chain, until it reaches the ears of the very man or men from whom the first speaker meant to keep it for ever. It would generally require a long time to get there, if each of us only had two friends—one to confide the secret to us, and another to whom we can pass it on. But there are some privileged men who have hundreds of friends, and once a secret reaches one of them, its subsequent journeys are so rapid and multitudinous that no one can keep track of them.“

— Alessandro Manzoni

„I would really like, in fact, to be born again in another two hundred years' time.“

— Alessandro Manzoni
The Betrothed

„Certainly the heart has always something to tell about the future to those who listen to it. But what does the heart know? Scarce a little of what has already happened.“

— Alessandro Manzoni
The Betrothed

„A benefit of friendship is knowing whom to tell secrets to.“

— Alessandro Manzoni

„They settled the question, by deciding that misfortunes most commonly happen to us from our own misconduct or imprudence; but sometimes from causes independent of ourselves; that the most innocent and prudent conduct cannot always preserve us from them; and that, whether they arise from our own fault or not, trust in God softens them, and renders them useful in preparing us for a better life.“

— Alessandro Manzoni
The Betrothed

„Crime is a rigid, unbending master, against whom no one can be strong except by total rebellion“

— Alessandro Manzoni
The Betrothed

„One the advantages about this life is that you can hate someone without knowing him“

— Alessandro Manzoni
I Promessi Sposi

„Let us offer our hearts, wretched and empty as they are, to God, that He may be pleased to fill them with that charity which amends the past, which ensures the future, which fears and trusts, weeps and rejoices in its knowledge; which becomes in every instance the virtue of which we stand in need.“

— Alessandro Manzoni

„God doesn't start miracles without finishing them.“

— Alessandro Manzoni
