Mother In Law Death Quote For Sympathy

sayings, proverbs and quotations



Part 1

has long been running through my head the idea of writing and discuss proverbs or quotes from people more or less famous ( this is not what counts mostly for me).
I've always admired, envied and I admit, people who in a few words and a well-turned phrase, managed to get a message that touches us, entertains us, makes us think and sometimes we interrogates and challenges us deeply.

I remember an article written about Facebook that has resulted in long and fascinating discussions with people with whom I discovered great qualities and I've learned a lot.

Having harvested for a while now many different quotes and discovering new every day, I selected some that I sorted by author and more or less by genre (comedy, philosophy, wisdom , life Social ....).

This article that I started will therefore consist of several parts, because it is impossible to do at once.
In addition, I will try as much as possible to give some information about authors, some well known, others much less and follow a certain logic in the presentation of different quotes.
This will allow me and to you readers, if any, to comment on some of these quotes and therefore give rise to interesting discussions of ideas.

• Today I will begin by an author I greatly appreciate the subtlety and humor: Oscar Wilde.

start with some biographical information. I must confess that I knew him only by his only novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". But he wrote many poems, plays and articles for newspapers.
His chaotic life, from an early age, explains, I think in large part, the orientation of his work and his cynicism before certain life situations.

Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854 and died in Paris in 1900. It was called "the theorist of art for art".
His father and mother formed an odd couple who paid for many times the law news of the day. Her mother, Jane Francisca was a fervent nationalist and a brilliant woman of letters. But after a sensational political trial, she had to abandon his career.
His father, William Wilde was a prominent surgeon of the eyes but a inveterate womanizer! He was sued by one of his mistresses and humiliation publicly during the trial.
Childhood Oscar took place in a universe so heavy!
He studied classics at Trinity College in Dublin, then led a bohemian life in London.
Spirit subtle and cynical, he became the favorite of London high society that subjugated by his conversation.
He left for America in 1882 and gave a series of lectures, then he returned to Europe and settled in Paris where he wrote plays.
returned to London, he married and has two lines, but his homosexuality is "derail" the marriage.


It has a large talented polemicist, and thus became editor of the magazine "The Women'sworld" and became a champion of the feminist cause. It also publishes stories and his only novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". He leads a very hectic life and return to Paris where he wrote comedy to mock the manners and hypocrisy of the British aristocracy.
He returned to London, and is reported to authorities by people "do-gooders." He is then sentenced to two years hard labor for sodomy, which will ruin his reputation.
Exiled in Paris after his release there will lead a lonely and miserable and will die from meningitis.

I think you will find this biography may be a bit long was needed to understand the cynicism, humor and self-mockery of his many quotes. (Here are a few).

• Cynicism is to see things as they are and not as such should be.
• The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
  
• If one wants to regain his youth, simply repeat its mistakes.
• Youth has not a shred of respect for your hair dyed.
• The young are always ready to give their elders the benefit of their inexperience.
• Being entirely free and at the same time dominated by law, is the paradox of human life.
• The tragedies of others are still hopelessly banal.
• My tastes are simple, I just what is best!
• If the world is nothing more annoying than being someone we are talking about is certainly to be someone you do not talk.
• The universe is a theater, but the cast of the play is bad.

That a small "anthology" of quotations from Oscar Wilde that I like, either by their accuracy, either by their humor (very British), or by their cynicism.
What do you think. On your turn now, before an upcoming episode and other quotations from authors very different (or not!).

Part 2

I started by an Irish author and I continue with another famous Irish.
A reading of his many famous quotes and phrase, I'll end up believing that the Irish have a special gift for humor and self-mockery.

As Oscar Wilde I'll start with a reminder of the life of this famous author: George Bernard Shaw.

G. B Shaw, playwright, satirist and critic, was also born in Dublin in 1856. He and his two sisters are from a good Protestant family. Their mother was a singer, but unfortunately their father was an alcoholic, which made them grow up in a fairly poor.
Shaw was, therefore a self-taught, he was particularly interested in music, literature and visual arts.

At 20, he moved to London to join his mother and older sister to them were installed several years earlier.
He began by writing novels addressing some social issues developed later in his plays (including the attitude of man towards marriage), but without much success at first.

He lets win by socialist ideas, read Marx, becomes a vegetarian, not smoking, not drinking, criticizes the capitalist era and wants to change society through reform rather than revolution.

In 1885 he finally asserts itself as an art critic for various newspapers and magazines.
After a difficult start, he found his preferred mode of expression in theater and wrote more than fifty parts, the main reformist ideas are socialism and the principle of "life force" inspired by Darwin. It is very seriously in the development of its parts but has a great sense of humor.

Each piece is based on a social thesis, after a careful analysis of the company. He favors comedies of ideas, pleasant and unpleasant parts, light comedies and social satires
It is impossible to list here his many works. I am content to cite a few of the best known:

Money has no smell
The profession of Mrs. Warren
Pygmalion (which is a scathing satire of English social classes)
Caesar and Cleopatra
The "man and superman.

He wrote until the end of his life when he says, I quote:" have nothing to say that has written " and concluded by a very direct: " Read my books, they are all bookseller, and let me die in peace. "
He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925 and died in 1950. Famous Quotes
