A generation of the unteachable is hanging upon us like a necklace of corpses.
A successful villain should have all these things at his or her villainous fingertips, or else give up villainy altogether and try to lead a life of decency, integrity, and kindness, which is much more challenging and noble, if not always quite as exciting.
[in the elevator] Frank Horrigan: Ok, now what? Mitch Leary: Do you believe in the nobility of suicide? Frank Horrigan: No. But if you wanna blow your goddamn head off, go ahead, be my guest. Mitch Leary: Nicely put, Frank, but I don't want to leave this miserable world alone.
Mock Turtle: [tearfully] No, my shell! The Duchess stole it from me and tried to eat me for lunch! Nobility must be served, I suppose.
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence.
Ginny listen...I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together.' It's for some stupid noble reason isn't it?' It's been like...like something out of someone else's life these last few weeks with you. But I can't...we can't...I've got to do thigs alone now. Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He'salready used you as bait once, and that was just because you were my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get me through you.' What if I don't care?' I care. How do you think I'd feel if this was your funeral...and it was my fault...
Fransisco, you're some kind of very high nobility, aren't you?' He answered, 'Not yet. The reason my family has lasted for such a long time is that none of us has ever been permitted to think he is born a d'Anconia. We are expected to become one.
Nobleness was one word for making a fuss about the trivial inevitabilities of life, but there were others.
To do good is noble. To tell others to do good is even nobler and much less trouble.
