François Rabelais Quotes

"Ben kendimi duaların buyruğuna sokmam hiçbir zaman. Dualar insan için yapılmıştır, insan dualar için değil."

syf:186

Подтирался я еще курицей, петухом, цыпленком, телячьей шкурой, зайцем,
голубем, бакланом, адвокатским мешком, капюшоном, чепцом, чучелом птицы.
В заключение, однако ж, я должен сказать следующее: лучшая в мире
подтирка - это пушистый гусенок, уверяю вас, - только когда вы просовываете
его себе между ног, то держите его за голову. Вашему отверстию в это время
бывает необыкновенно приятно, во-первых, потому, что пух у гусенка нежный, а во-вторых, потому, что сам гусенок тепленький, и это тепло через задний
проход и кишечник без труда проникает в область сердца и мозга. И напрасно
вы думаете, будто всем своим блаженством в Елисейских полях герои и полубоги обязаны асфоделям, амброзии и нектару, как тут у нас болтают старухи. По-моему, все дело в том, что они подтираются гусятами, и таково мнение
ученейшего Иоанна Скотта.

He was forever wallowing in the mire, dirtying his nose, scrabbling his face, treading down the backs of his shoes, gaping at flies and chasing the butterflies (over whom his father held sway); he would pee in his shoes, shit over his shirt-tails, [wipe his nose on his sleeves,] dribble snot into his soup and go galumphing about. [He would drink out of his slippers, regularly scratch his belly on wicker-work baskets, cut his teeth on his clogs, get his broth all over his hands, drag his cup through his hair, hide under a wet sack, drink with his mouth full, eat girdle-cake but not bread, bite for a laugh and laugh while he bit, spew in his bowl, let off fat farts, piddle against the sun, leap into the river to avoid the rain, strike while the iron was cold, dream day-dreams, act the goody-goody, skin the renard, clack his teeth like a monkey saying its prayers, get back to his muttons, turn the sows into the meadow, beat the dog to teach the lion, put the cart before the horse, scratch himself where he ne’er did itch, worm secrets out from under your nose, let things slip, gobble the best bits first, shoe grasshoppers, tickle himself to make himself laugh, be a glutton in the kitchen, offer sheaves of straw to the gods, sing Magnificat at Mattins and think it right, eat cabbage and squitter puree, recognize flies in milk, pluck legs off flies, scrape paper clean but scruff up parchment, take to this heels, swig straight from the leathern bottle, reckon up his bill without Mine Host, beat about the bush but snare no birds, believe clouds to be saucepans and pigs’ bladders lanterns, get two grists from the same sack, act the goat to get fed some mash, mistake his fist for a mallet, catch cranes at the first go, link by link his armour make, always look a gift horse in the mouth, tell cock-and-bull stories, store a ripe apple between two green ones, shovel the spoil back into the ditch, save the moon from baying wolves, hope to pick up larks if the heavens fell in, mak

Panurge stood beside the galley with an oar in his hand, not to help the herdsmen but to prevent from from somehow clambering aboard and thus escaping their death, and all the while preached to them eloquently . . . with rhetorical flourishes about the miseries of this world and the blessings of the next, affirming that those who had passed on to that place were happier than those who lived on in this vale of tears.

El hombre no val más de lo que él mismo estima.

Eso que los mencionados sarracenos y bárbaros llamaban proezas, debemos nosotros llamar bandidajes y maldades.

Eux en ce pas descendant tous confus, il demanda :
« Voulez-vous une aubelière ? — Qu'est-ce ? dirent-ils. — Ce sont, répondit-il, cinq étrons pour vous faire une muselière.

and his peers are not many. You may like him or not, may attack him or sing his praises, but you cannot ignore him. He is of those that die hard. Be as fastidious as you will; make up your mind to recognize only those who are, without any manner of doubt, beyond and above all others; however few the names you keep, Rabelais' will always remain.

Etes-vous là ou n'y êtes-vous pas ? Si vous y êtes, n'y soyez plus ; si vous n'y êtes, je n'ai que dire.

i go to seek the great perhaps

Pourtant, affin que je face fin à ce prologue, tout ainsi comme je me donne à cent mille panerés de beaulx diables, corps et ame, trippes et boyaul, en cas que j'en mente en toute l'hystoire d'un seul mot, pareillement le feu sainct Antoine vous arde, mau de terre vous vire, le lancy, le maulubec vous trousse, la caquesangue vous viengne,

Le mau fin feu de ricqueracque,
Aussi menu que poil de vache,
Tout renforcé de vif argent,
Vous puisse entrer au fondement,

et comme Sodome et Gomorre puissiez tomber en soulphre, en feu et en abysme, en cas que vous ne croyez fermement tout ce que je vous racompteray en ceste presente Chronicque!

Like verisimilary amorabonds, we captat the benevolence of the omnijugal, omniform, and omnigenal foeminine sex. Upon certain diecules we invisat the lupanares, and in a venerian ecstasy inculcate our veretres into the penitissime recesses of the pudends of these amicabilissimes meretricules. Then we do cauponisate in the meritory taberns of the Pineapple, the Castle, the Magdalene, and the Mule, goodly vervecine spatules perforaminated with petrocile.

I perceive I will die confected in the very stench of farts

Il vaut mieux écrire du rire que des larmes,
Parce que le rire est le propre de l'homme.
VIVEZ JOYEUX.

Et parce qu'en ce propre jour naquit Pantagruel, son père lui imposa tel nom, car Panta, en grec, vaut autant à dire comme tout, et Gruel en langue agarène , vaut autant comme altéré, voulant inférer qu'à l'heure de sa nativité le monde était tout altéré, et voyant, en esprit de prophétie, qu'il serait quelque jour dominateur des altérés . Ce que lui fut montré à celle heure même par autre signe plus évident, car, alors que sa mère
Badebec l'enfantait, et que les sages-femmes attendaient pour le recevoir, issirent premier de son ventre soixante et huit tregeniers, chacun tirant par le licol un mulet tout chargé
de sel, après lesquels sortirent neuf dromadaires chargés de jambons et langues de boeuf fumées, sept chameaux chargés
d'anguillettes, puis vingt-cinq charretées de poireaux, d'aulx, d'oignons et de cibots, ce qui épouvanta bien lesdites sages femmes.
