Stefan Zweig Frases famosas

“Não cesso de me surpreender com a confusão e insuficiência das idéias sobre este país, até mesmo entre homens cultos e interessados pela política, bem que o Brasil seja, sem dúvida alguma, destinado a ser um fator dos mais importantes no desenvolvimento ulterior de nosso mundo.”

“A primeira mostra de uma autêntica vocação política é, em todos os tempos, que um homem renuncie desde o princípio a exigir aquilo que lhe é inalcançável.”

“Sempre os que dizem de antemão que lutam em nome de Deus são pessoas menos pacíficas do mundo: como crêem que recebem mensagens celestiais, têm os ouvidos surdos para qualquer palavra de humanidade.”

“A calma é um elemento criador. Purifica, recolhe, põe em ordem as forças internas, compensando o que o desordenado movimento dispersa.”

“Aqueles que anunciam que lutam a favor de Deus são sempre os homens menos pacíficos da terra. Como crêem receber mensagens celestiais, têm os ouvidos surdos a qualquer palavra de humanidade.”

“Cada um de nós é vencido apenas pelo destino que não soube dominar. Não há derrota que não tenha um significado e não represente também uma culpa.”

Citações de vida de Stefan Zweig

“A tragédia do intelectual é que se sente atraído pela plenitude da vida e tem de ficar atado à sua tarefa, ligado aos deveres que impõe a si mesmo, amarrado ao ordenado, ao prosaico.”

“Só goza a vida aquele que viva para viver e se lhe entregue livre e prodigamente. Todo aquele que fixa uma meta apenas a toca. O artista plasma, geralmente, o que não chega a viver.”

“A vida não dá coisa alguma sem retribuição e sobre cada coisa concedida pelo destino, há secretamente um preço, que cedo ou tarde deverá ser pago.”

Stefan Zweig frases e citações

“Toda a beleza do ser humano consiste em se tornar algo melhor do que se foi.”

No livro ‘Morte no Paraíso’, de Alberto Dines, ROCCO

“Nada torna as pessoas mais desnaturalizadas e insubordinadas do que uma longa e constante ociosidade.”

“"Meus pais não eram muito ligados em literatura e não se julgaram aptos a opinar; para eles, como para toda a burguesia vienense, era importante o que era elogiado na Neue Freie Presse e indiferente o que ela ignorava ou censurava".‎”

“Toda a ciência provém da dor. A dor procura sempre a causa das coisas, enquanto o bem-estar se inclina a estar quieto e a não olhar para trás.”

“A velhice não significa mais do que deixar de sofrer pelo passado.”

“Hábeis e frios calculadores podem vir demonstrar, ainda e sempre, que o sonho do erasmismo é impossível, e os factos poderão parecer dar-lhes razão; isso nao impede que sejam sempre necessários os seres que indicam aos povos aquilo que os aproxima e aquilo que os divide, e que renovam no coração dod homens a crença em mais alta humanidade. Há no legado de Erasmo uma promessa criadora. Aquele que mostra o espírito fora do seu quadro, nas dimensões da Humanidade, dá ao indivíduo uma forma sobre-humana; só as reivindicações ultrapessoais e que parecerem quase irrealizáveis, dão aos homens e aos povos a consciência da sua verdadeira medida.”

Erasmus von Rotterdam: Triumph und Tragik

“Mas no espírito, há lugar para todas as oposições; mesmo o que nunca triunfa, na realidade, conserva um dinamismo eficaz, e são precisamente os sonhos que nao se podem efectivar os que se mostram mais invencíveis.”

“Envelhecer é apenas não ter mais medo do passado”

“Je ne cesse de m’étonner de la confusion et de l’insuffisance des idées à propos de ce pays, chez des hommes même cultivés er prenant intérêt à la politique, alors que le Brésil est sans aucun doute, destiné à être un facteur des plus importants dans le développement ultérieur de notre monde.”

Stefan Zweig: Frases em inglês

“A human being will accept the strictest disciplinary measures with a better grace if he knows that they will fall with equal severity on his neighbor. Justice in some mysterious way makes up for violence.”

The Post Office Girl (published posthumously in 1982)

“And I said to myself: From now on help anyone and everyone so far as it lies within your power. Cease to be apathetic, indifferent! Exalt yourself by devoting yourself to others, enrich yourself by making everyone's destiny your own, by enduring and understanding every facet of human suffering through your pity. And my heart, astonished at its own workings, quivered with gratitude to the sick girl whom I had hurt unwittingly and who, through her suffering, had taught me the creative magic of pity.”

Stefan Zweig livro Beware of Pity

Beware of Pity (1939)

“He who is himself crossed in love is able from time to time to master his passion, for he is not the creature but the creator of his own misery; and if a lover is unable to control his passion, he at least knows that he is himself to blame for his sufferings. But he who is loved without reciprocating that love is lost beyond redemption, for it is not in his power to set a limit to that other's passion, to keep it within bounds, and the strongest will is reduced to impotence in the face of another's desire. Perhaps only a man can realize to the full the tragedy of such an undesired relationships; for him alone the necessity to resist t is at once martyrdom and guilt. For when a woman resists an unwelcome passion, she is obeying to the full the law of her sex; the initial gesture of refusal is, so to speak, a primordial instinct in every female, and even if she rejects the most ardent passion she cannot be called inhuman. But how disastrous it is when fate upsets the balance, when a woman so far overcomes her natural modesty as to disclose her passion to a man, when, without the certainty of its being reciprocated, she offers her love, and he, the wooed, remains cold and on the defensive! An insoluble tangle this, always; for not to return a woman's love is to shatter her pride, to violate her modesty. The man who rejects a woman's advances is bound to wound her in her noblest feelings. In vain, then, all the tenderness with which he extricates himself, useless all his polite, evasive phrases, insulting all his offers of mere friendship, once she has revealed her weakness! His resistance inevitably becomes cruelty, and in rejecting a woman's love he takes a load of guild upon his conscience, guiltless though he may be. Abominable fetters that can never be cast off! Only a moment ago you felt free, you belonged to yourself and were in debt to no one, and now suddenly you find yourself pursued, hemmed in, prey and object of the unwelcome desires of another. Shaken to the depths of your soul, you know that day and night someone is waiting for you, thinking of you, longing and sighing for you - a woman, a stranger. She wants, she demands, she desires you with every fibre of her being, with her body, with her blood. She wants your hands, your hair, your lips, your manhood, your night and your day, your emotions, your senses, and all your thought and dreams. She wants to share everything with you, to take everything from you, and to draw it in with her breath. Henceforth, day and night, whether you are awake or asleep, there is somewhere in the world a being who is feverish and wakeful and who waits for you, and you are the centre of her waking and her dreaming. It is in vain that you try not to think of her, of her who thinks always of you, in vain that you seek to escape, for you no longer dwell in yourself, but in her. Of a sudden a stranger bears your image within her as though she were a moving mirror - no, not a mirror, for that merely drinks in your image when you offer yourself willingly to it, whereas she, the woman, this stranger who loves you, she has absorbed you into her very blood. She carries you always within her, carries you about with her, no mater whither you may flee. Always you are imprisoned, held prisoner, somewhere else, in some other person, no longer yourself, no longer free and lighthearted and guiltless, but always hunted, always under an obligation, always conscious of this "thinking-of-you" as if it were a steady devouring flame. Full of hate, full of fear, you have to endure this yearning on the part of another, who suffers on your account; and I now know that it is the most senseless, the most inescapable, affliction that can befall a man to be loved against his will - torment of torments, and a burden of guilt where there is no guilt.”

“Everywhere soldiering entails the same busily empty monotony; hour after hour is mapped out in accordance with inflexible, antediluvian regulations, and even one's leisure does not seem to offer much in the way of variety. In the officers' mess the same faces, the same conversation; at the cafe the same games of cards and billiards.”

“Only ambition is fired by the coincidences of success and easy accomplishment but nothing is quite as splendidly uplifting to the heart as the defeat of a human being who battles against the invincible superiority of fate. This is always the most grandiose of all tragedies, one sometimes created by a dramatist but created thousands of times by life.”

“When one does another person an injustice, in some mysterious way it does one good to discover (or to persuade oneself) that the injured party has also behaved badly or unfairly in some little matter or other; it is always a relief to the conscience if one can apportion some measure of guilt to the person one has betrayed.”

“Our decisions are to a much greater extent dependent on our desire to conform to the standards of our class and environment than we are inclined to admit. A considerable proportion of our reasoning is merely an automatic function, so to speak, of influences and impressions which have become part of us, and anyone who has been brought up from childhood in the stern school of military discipline is particularly apt to succumb to the hypnotic and compulsive force exercised by an order of word of command; a force which is logically entirely incomprehensible and which irresistibly undermines his will. In the straitjacket of a uniform, even though fully aware of their absurdity, an officer will carry out his instructions lie a sleep-walker, unresistingly and almost unconsciously.”

Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman (1927)

“When a man has a passion for a woman, and when that passion is of such a nature that he regards her with reverent admiration as an image of purity, none the less, in the unconscious, his desires turn towards bodily fulfillment, none the less the goal of physical possession is prefigured in the deepest recesses of his imagination. But when the passion is confined to the realm of the spirit, and, in that realm, is a man's passion for a man, how can it seek fulfillment? Unrestingly, the fancy wanders over the honored form, flaming up again and again to fresh ecstasy, but never finding repose in a last surrender. It flows on without pause in a current that can never empty the reservoir from which it comes. This passion is insatiable, as the spirit invariably is.”

Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman (1927)

“It is only at first that pity, like morphine, is a solace to the invalid, a remedy, a drug, but unless you know the correct dosage and when to stop, it becomes a virulent poison. The first few injections do good, they soothe, they deaden the pain. But the devil of it is that the organism, the body, just like the soul, has an uncanny capacity for adaptation. Just as the nervous system cries out for more and more morphine, so do the emotions cry out for more and more pity, in the end more than one can give. Inevitably there comes a moment when one has to say 'no', and then one must not mind the other person's hating one more for this ultimate refusal than if one had never helped him at all. Yes, my dear Lieutenant, one has got to keep one's pity properly in check, or it does far more harm than any amount of indifference — we doctors know that, and so do judges and myrmidons of the law and pawn-brokers; if they were all to give way to their pity, this world of ours would stand still - a dangerous thing pity, a dangerous thing!”
