Voltaire Zitate

The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.

Das Wenige kann sich in der Malerei von dem Großen unterscheiden, aber es kann nicht gesagt werden, dass es im Gegensatz dazu steht. Farbkontraste kontrastieren; es gibt aber auch Farben, die sich gegenseitig widersprechen, das heißt, sie erzeugen einen schlechten Effekt, weil sie das Auge schockieren, wenn sie sehr nahe heran gebracht werden.

The value of a decision as a precedent is very much enhanced by the care with which it has been considered, and if the opinion itself shows that other decisions of the same court, or of other courts upon the same point, have been reviewed and examined, it adds to the value of the decision made on each consideration.

The constraints of melodrama can be a great blessing, because they demand that all the characters involved - as absurd and extreme as they may initially seem - must stay utterly rooted in their own reality, or the whole project collapses.

A lot of the players are very complimentary about each other; they embrace at the end of matches because the level of the tennis has been so good. I think that's something that tennis has got to be proud of.

Liberals would prefer it if the bald eagle on the Great Seal was holding olive branches in both talons, or, better, an olive branch in one, and maybe a soft cushion in the other, to entice our enemies to lie down and snooze.
