Inspirational Quotes by George MacDonald
“سأمحو كل تدوين سخيف أحمق , حِكم الكتب كلها , كل شكل وكل انطباع مضى , مما نسخ الشباب هناك وسجلته الملاحظة , ولن يبقى في كتاب ذهني إلا أمرك وحده , دون غيره لا تخالطه مادة رخيصة”
“ما أشد ما تبدو لي عادات الدنيا هذه مضنية , عتيقة , فاهية , لا نفع منها انها الحديقه لم تعشب , شاخت وبزرت لا يملؤلها الا كل مخشوشن نتن الرائحة”
“The single and peculiar mind is bound With all the strength and armor of the mind To keep itself from noyance, but much more That spirit upon whose weal depends and rests The lives of many. The cess of majesty Dies not alone, but like a gulf doth draw What's near it with it; or it is a massy wheel Fixed on the summit of the highest mount, To whose huge spokes ten thousand lesser things Are mortised and adjoined, which, when it falls, Each small annexment, petty consequence, Attends the boist'rous ruin. Never alone Did the king sigh, but with a general groan.”
“every plan breaks easily, Because the intention is a slave to memory At the moment of birth, it digs itself a grave, Like a fruit, that holds to a branch, while green. And when it matures, it falls itself from the three.”
“In Shakespeare’s time, as in ours and all other times, the paths of men and women do not often run in exactly the same directions, except to the common graves that hold us all.”
“O, the word rises, but thought crawls, And word without thought comes difficult to heaven.”
“Mad I call it, for to define true madness, what is't to be nothing else but mad?”
“Kadınlar hem çok sever, hem korkar, bilirsin; Denktir birbirine onun korkusuyla aşkı; Ya ikisi de yoktur, ya ikisi de aşırı.”
“Every toy is the prologue to some great amiss.”
“He even obsessively contemplates the fact that he obsessively contemplates.”
“These, indeed, seem; For they are actions that a man might play; But I have that within which passes show— [85] These but the trappings and the suits of woe.166”
“The best actors in the world, either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or poem unlimited. Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the liberty, these are the only men. Polonius”
“it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious, 9 periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very 10 rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the 11 most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable 12 dumb shows and noise. I”
“Oh, I absolutely hate it when I hear some overexcited actor in a wig shout his “passionate” lines, splitting the audience’s eardrums in an effort to impress the unsophisticated watchers standing just in front of the stage who for the most part can only appreciate loud noises and pantomime shows.”
“Hamlet. ’A1 did comply2 with his dug,3 before ’a sucked it. Thus has he, and many more of the same bevy4 that I know the drossy5 age dotes on, only got6 the tune7 of the time and, out of an habit of encounter,8 a kind of yeasty collection,9 which carries them through and through10 the most fanned and winnowed11 opinions. And do but blow them to their trial,12 the bubbles are out.13”
“Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine, it sends some precious instance of itself after the thing it loves.”

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.
Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors, such as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence."
Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald.
MacDonald grew up influenced by his Congregational Church, with an atmosphere of Calvinism. But MacDonald never felt comfortable with some aspects of Calvinist doctrine; indeed, legend has it that when the doctrine of predestination was first explained to him, he burst into tears (although assured that he was one of the elect). Later novels, such as Robert Falconer and Lilith, show a distaste for the idea that God's electing love is limited to some and denied to others.
