Figlio mio, perché nascondi così angosciosamente il tuo viso? - Non vedi, padre, il Re degli Elfi? Il Re degli Elfi con corona e pennacchio? - Figlio mio, è una striscia di nebbia.

Chi cavalca così tardi nella notte e nel vento? È il padre col suo bambino; egli stringe bene il ragazzo col braccio, egli lo regge forte, egli lo mantiene caldo.

- "Tu caro bambino, vieni, vieni con me! Giocherò con te a bellissimi giochi; sulla spiaggia ci sono molti fiori variopinti, mia madre ha molti vestiti d'oro."

- Padre mio, padre mio, e non senti, cosa il Re degli Elfi mi promette sottovoce? - Sii tranquillo, resta tranquillo, piccolo mio; il vento bisbiglia tra le foglie secche.

- "Grazioso fanciullo, vuoi venire con me? le mie figlie dovranno curarti bene; le mie figlie guideranno la danza notturna, ti culleranno, danzeranno, ti faranno addormentare col loro canto."

- Padre mio, padre mio, e non vedi là le figlie del Re degli Elfi in quel recesso tenebroso? - - Figlio mio, figlio mio, io vedo bene, sono i vecchi salici a sembrare tanto grigi.

- "Io ti adoro, la tua bella figura mi affascina; e se non sei accondiscendente, io avrò bisogno della forza." - Padre mio, padre mio, adesso egli mi afferra! Il Re degli Elfi mi ha procurato un dolore!

Il padre inorridisce, egli cavalca veloce, egli stringe nelle braccia il suo bambino gemente, raggiunge l'abitazione a stento e con affanno; nelle sue braccia il bambino era morto.

Man should be ever better than he seems.

I don't want to risk my personal sanity or happiness, or my family, or the love of my life. That's a mistake. And I think a lot of people make that mistake, they're always kind of, like, seeking out the next thing that's gonna happen.

I'm not Tyler Perry. I'm not Dino De Laurentis. I think it's a bit much to put one's name in front of the film. It makes me uncomfortable.

I am happy now, to recall that I was not only his son but his companion, and whenever there was a hunting expedition or any other pleasure, I was always with him.

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

When I first met Robert Patrick, I died - he is so scary looking - he is a scary looking man.

I had a unique circumstance in which my career was associated with George W. Bush, who went straight to the top. I went to work for him in October of 1993. So my whole identity in national politics is associated with this president, and you know, I kind of want to leave it that way. It's not tugging at me to go do the '08 cycle.

In following their line through, and those of Plantagenet and Tudor, there is but little to soothe the mind.

I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives.

Now and then, someone is able to look at an empty space, conclude it would be a great place to start a revolution, and bravely go forward.

I grew up in the 90s in the time of grunge when if you didn't go on stage in jeans and a T shirt you weren't 'real.' That seemed ridiculous to me.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

We're huge fans of 'Game of Thrones' for example, 'Orphan Black.' And even though those shows don't necessarily correlate directly with 'Arrow,' I'm a very big believer that writers are the product of their inspirations.

Writers aren't born properly labeled so it is hard to know one when one appears.

My dad's more three-dimensional than Opie Taylor or Richie Cunningham. He even has a temper! He's a real person. But some people are disappointed by that.

My greatest hope is that we will see a day when Israel will stand tall as a symbol of belonging across the Jewish world, and when global citizens will look to Jerusalem as the vibrant, modern, inclusive capital of Israel.

These are the animals that are the reason why you don't see old animals in the wild. You don't see sick animals in the wild. You don't see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats.

I learned that focus is key. Not just in your running a company, but in your personal life as well.

When the oak is felled the whole forest echoes with it fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze.

Even for practical purposes theory generally turns out the most important thing in the end.

Mitt Romney has a history of being a great job creator. Secondly, he was a great governor. He went from billions of dollars in the hole when he became governor to billions of dollars in surplus when he left. And he went from the loss of tens of thousands jobs when he became governor to the creation of 40,000 new jobs when he left office.

In the late '60s, I was seven, eight, nine years old, and what was going on in the news at that time that really excited a seven, eight, nine year old boy was the Space Race.

You don't want R&B singers to get into beef. Leave that to the rappers, let them do that - R&B, be classy.
