Horns Quotes

“God has created the trees as the sources of food and shelter for others. He has so sensibly not given the trees any weapons like horns, pointed teeth or intelligence to protect themselves. Say, if we went to pluck a mango and if the tree attacked us, then it would be difficult for us to survive! God has not given horns to a lion because it already has a weapon to protect himself- razor-sharp teeth. God has not given the humans horns or sharp teeth but more valuable gift- intelligence!”

“And then he went in the evening up to the nursery and told the boy how his mother was gone for a while to Elfland, to her father's palace (which may only be told of in song). And, unheeding any words of Orion then, he held on with the brief tale that he had come to tell, and told how Elfland was gone. "But that cannot be," said Orion, "for I hear the horns of Elfland every day." "You can hear them?" Alveric said. And the boy replied, "I hear them blowing at evening.”

“তিনটি ভেঁপুর রহস্য সমতলভূমিতে এক ভেঁপু শ্বাস না ফুরোনো অব্দি বাজানো আরেকটা, জঙ্গলের হৃদয় থেকে, জবাব দেয় ; একটা নিজের গানের মন্ত্র পাশের বনানীকে শোনায়, অন্যটা জবাবি গান শোনায় প্রতিধ্বনির পাহাড়গুলোকে । যে ভেঁপু সমতলভূমিতে নিজের কপালের শিরাকে অনুভব করলো ফুলে রয়েছে ; বনানীতে অন্যজন নিজের ক্ষমতাকে সঞ্চয় করে রাখলো পরে কোনো সময়ের জন্য । ---কোথায় লুকিয়ে আছো, আমার সুন্দর ভেঁপু ? তুমি সত্যিই বজ্জাত ! ---আমি আমার প্রেমিকাকে খুঁজছি, নীচে ওইখানে, আমাকে ডাকছে সূর্যাস্ত দেখার জন্য । ---আমি তোমায় শুনতে পাচ্ছি ! আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি ! হে রঁসেভু পর্বতমালা ! ---প্রেমে পড়া, হ্যাঁ, বেশ মিষ্টি ব্যাপার ; কিন্তু দ্যাখো : সূর্য তো নিজেকে মেরে ফেলছে, ঠিক তোমার সামনে ! সূর্য ওর যাজকীয় উত্তরীয় নামিয়ে রাখছে, চুল খুলে ফেলেছে, আর হাজার নদী জ্বলন্ত সোনা আকাশের তলা দিয়ে বইছে, জাগিয়ে তুলছে জানলাগুলোকে শৈল্পিক মদ-বিক্রেতাদের একশো বোতল বিদেশি গন্ধকবিষে!... আর পুকুরটা, রক্তরঙা, হঠাৎ খুলে গেছে, ছড়িয়ে দিয়েছে, আর সূর্যের রথের ঘোটকিগুলো তাতে ডুবছে, পেছনের পায়ে ভর দিয়ে দাঁড়াচ্ছে, জলে খেলছে, শেষে স্হির হয়েছে কারখানাগুলোর ছাই আর সুরাসারের কাদায় !... দিগন্তের কঠিন বালিয়াড়ি আর কাঠের স্ফূলিঙ্গ দ্রুত শুষে ফেলছে বিষের প্রদর্শনী । হ্যাঁ ঠিক তাই, ওনাদের শৌর্যের গান গান গান !... হঠাৎ আতঙ্কিত ভেঁপুগুলো নাকে নাক ঠেকানো অবস্হায় নিজেদের আবিষ্কার করে ; ওরা তিনজন ! বাতাস বইতে থাকে, হঠাৎই ঠাণ্ডা লাগে । তুমি কি গান শুনতে পাচ্ছো, ওনাদের শৌর্যের গান ! হাতে হাত জড়িয়ে সবাই চলে যাচ্ছে তাদের বাড়িতে ফিরছে, ---”আমরা কি কোথাও বিশ্রাম নিতে পারি না একটি গলা ভেজাবার জন্য ?” বেচারা ভেঁপু ! বেচারা ভেঁপু ! কতো তিক্ত হয়ে উঠলো ওদের হাসি । ( আমি এখনও শুনতে পাচ্ছি )। পরের দিন, গ্রঁ-স-য়ুবার-এর বাড়িউলি ওদের খুঁজে পেলেন, তিনজনকেই, মৃত । তাই কয়েকজন গিয়ে কর্তৃপক্ষকে নিয়ে এলো যাঁরা সেই অঞ্চলের যাঁরা এদের ইতিহাস খুঁজতে লাগলেন এই অনৈতিক রহস্য জানার জন্য ।”

“The majority of the crowd had looked human from a distance, but once she was among them, she had her doubts. Some were human shaped but had green or blue skin. A number had horns rising from their foreheads, short and pointed as antelopes'. One woman walked by with a rack of antlers that would do any stag proud, and small black birds seated on each tine, wearing silver collars around their necks. Others were not even human shaped. A trio of boards in starched collars, walking on their hind legs, went grunting past. Six white rats, each nearly three feet tall, carried a palanquin on their shoulders. And who could guess what lay beneath the pale braids that covered that figure from head to toe?”

“Once there was Louis Armstrong blowing his beautiful top in the muds of New Orleans; before him the mad musicians who had paraded on official days and broke up their Sousa marches into ragtime. Then there was swing, and Roy Eldridge, vigorous and virile, blasting the horn for everything it had in waves of power and logic and subtlety - leaning into it with glittering eyes and a lovely smile and sending it out broadcast to rock the jazz world.”

“Military weapons are the means used by the Sage to punish violence and cruelty, to give peace to troublous times, to remove difficulties and dangers, and to succor those who are in peril. Every animal with blood in its veins and horns on its head will fight when it is attacked. How much more so will man, who carries in his breast the faculties of love and hatred, joy and anger! When he is pleased, a feeling of affection springs up within him; when angry, his poisoned sting is brought into play. That is the natural law which governs his being”

“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed,-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones. Few that fell trees plant them; nor would planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble primeval forests. During a man's life only saplings can be grown, in the place of the old trees-tens of centuries old-that have been destroyed.”

“So the horns of the stag are sharp to offend his adversary, but are branched for the purpose of parrying or receiving the thrusts of horns similar to his own, and have therefore been formed for the purpose of combating other stags for the exclusive possession of the females; who are observed, like the ladies in the times of chivalry, to attend to the car of the victor. The final cause of this contest amongst the males seems to be, that the strongest and most active animal should propagate the species, which should thence become improved.”

“I never felt like that in my life. I didn't know human beings played these instruments. I heard them in Chicago and Louisville and St. Louis all my life, you know? But I didn't know human beings played them, you know? So the next day I went to Coontz Junior High School and I started on sousaphone, tuba, B-flat baritone, E-flat alto, French horn, trombone.”

“Two diverse gates there are of bodiless dreams, These of sawn ivory, and those of horn. Such dreams as issue where the ivory gleams Fly without fate, and turn our hopes to scorn. But dreams which issue through the burnished horn, What man soe'er beholds them on his bed, These work with virtue and of truth are born.”

“If you get up in the morning and wear a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and some flip-flops, it's a signal that you might be going to the beach. If you get up in the morning and you wear a breast plate and a back plate and a cape and a pair of golden Satanic horns on your head, it's quite clear that you're doing something else.”

“The horn of dilemma of energy politics is what really drives concern about this energy in this country, at the gut level for most people, is high gas prices. And if you really want to fight global warming and try to reduce our carbon emissions, the cleanest, easiest, most rational way to do it would to make the price of gas even higher through very stiff gas prices.”
