Quotes About Will

Have courage and do not fear the assaults of the Devil. Remember this forever; it is a healthy sign if the devil shouts and roars around your conscience, since this shows that he is not inside your will.

for the weak and the ineffectual, who cannot rise to the dignity and nobility of tragedy, or the luxury of irony, for whom even ordinary acts of will are impossible, melodrama is a substitute.

If you have no faith in yourself, then have faith in the things you call truth. You know what must be done. You may not have courage or trust or understanding or the will to do it, but you know what must be done. You can't turn back. There is now answer behind you. You fear what you cannot name. So look at it and find a name for it. Turn your face forward and learn. Do what must be done. -Deth to Morgon, Prince of Hed-

~ Patrick J. Buchanan
Strange how reluctant I was to acknowledge that control of my fate lay beyond my own conscious will. Habit of a lifetime, I suppose.
~ Unknown
As long as I hold it as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will. I'm the one who allows it and I'm the one responsible.

Will the world end in darkness because it is foretold? Or because there will be those who believe it so strongly they will make it so?
~ Patrick Ness
The knife is alive. As long as I hold it, as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will.
~ Patrick Ness
Auri stood, and in the circle of her golden hair she grinned and brought the weight of her desire down full upon the world. And all things shook. And all things knew her will. And all things bent to please her.

Es una palabra. Las palabras son pálidas sombras de nombres olvidados. Los nombres tienen poder, y las palabras también. Las palabras pueden hacer prender el fuego en la mente de los hombres.

Pero una palabra no es más que la representación de un fuego. Un nombre es el fuego en sí.

Les mots sont les ombres pâlies de noms oubliés. De même que les noms, les mots ont aussi un pouvoir. Les mots peuvent allumer des incendies dans l'esprit des hommes. Les mots peuvent tirer les larmes des cœurs les plus endurcis. Il y a les sept mots qui rendront une femme amoureuse de toi. Il y a les dix mots qui réduiront à néant la volonté d'un homme fort. Mais un mot n'est rien d'autre que la peinture d'un feu. Un nom, c'est le feu lui-même.

It was only purer, and in its augmented purity, it took on an even greater power of attraction. Grenouille walked with no will of his own.
