Frases de Rudyard Kipling

Joseph Rudyard Kipling foi um autor e poeta britânico, conhecido por seus livros "The Jungle Book" , "The Second Jungle Book" , "Just So Stories" , e "Puck of Pook's Hill" ; sua novela, "Kim" ; seus poemas, incluindo "Mandalay" , "Gunga Din" , "If" e "Ulster 1912" ; e seus muitos contos curtos, incluindo "The Man Who Would Be King" e as compilações "Life's Handicap" , "The Day's Work" , e "Plain Tales from the Hills" .

É considerado o maior "inovador na arte do conto curto"; os seus livros para crianças são clássicos da literatura infantil; e o seu melhor trabalho dá mostras de um talento narrativo versátil e brilhante.Foi um dos escritores mais populares da Inglaterra, em prosa e poema, no final do século XIX e início do XX. O autor Henry James referiu: "Kipling me impressiona pessoalmente como o mais completo homem de gênio que eu jamais conheci.". Foi laureado com o Nobel de Literatura de 1907, tornando-se o primeiro autor de língua inglesa a receber esse prêmio e, até hoje, o mais jovem a recebê-lo. Entre outras distinções, foi sondado em diversas ocasiões para receber a Láurea de Poeta Britânico e um título de Cavaleiro, as quais rejeitou. Ainda assim, Kipling tornou-se conhecido como um "profeta do imperialismo britânico". Muitos viam preconceito e militarismo em suas obras, e a controvérsia sobre esses temas em sua obra perdurou por muito tempo ainda no século XX. De acordo com o crítico Douglas Kerr: "Ele ainda é um autor que pode inspirar discordâncias apaixonadas e seu lugar na história da literatura e da cultura ainda está longe de ser definido. Mas à medida que a era dos impérios europeus retrocede, ele é reconhecido como um intérprete incomparável, ainda que controverso, de como o império era vivido. Isso, e um reconhecimento crescente de seus extraordinários talentos narrativos, faz dele uma força a ser respeitada".

Seu poema "If" é símbolo dos Cadetes da Academia da Força Aérea.

Uma de suas obras o "Livro da Selva" foi adotado por Robert Baden-Powell, fundador do Escotismo como fundo de cena para as atividades com jovens de 7 à 11 anos, denominando os jovens dessa faixa etária como lobinhos. Wikipedia

Often misattributed to Friedrich Nietzsche.

If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
