What Are The Famous Quotes From 'The Three Musketeers'?

It’s the familiar motto of The Three Musketeers. The famous phrase reflects the collective identity of the musketeers and their loyalty to each other over personal ambition. Sworn to protect each other against enemies, they form a band of brothers – a family. This theme is echoed in a new tale called The Three Little Guardian Angels where three little guardians pledge to protect a young girl against the dangers of a modern underworld. In this story, the trio are not soldiers but beloved little guardians on perilous missions as part of their vow to look after their young charge.

You can love or hate Shakespeare but he’s certainly written a play with many memorable lines, some of which stick in the mind long after they’ve been read. Romeo’s last words, ‘Thus with a kiss I die’ are particularly haunting as is Juliet’s request to the nurse ‘Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, / Take him and cut him out in little stars’ to be remembered forever in celestial art. There are many more quoted lines throughout the play, including ‘Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs’, ‘O happy dagger!’, and many more which evoke strong emotions and are a big part of the play’s longevity and the reason it continues to feel so alive today.

Boa Hancock has some great lines as well, often to reflect her confidence and her love for Luffy. The lines “Love is a hurricane” and “Be grateful… for being allowed to be in my presence” are two of the many lines that she repeats throughout the story. A character who embodies supreme confidence would be the protagonist of the story “I Was Reborn As The Most Powerful Princess In History?!”. She is aware of her own extreme strength and recognizes her place, providing for some good laughs and insight into the situation as her internal monologues highlight the absurdity between her views and everyone else’s views of her.

There’s a line about secrets that really resonates with me: “We built our kingdom on lies, and then wondered why the walls kept crumbling.” This line really captures the entire plot. Everything – the relationships, the brotherhood, the love – is all rooted in something that is destined to decay. This line really captures that sense of frustration and despair, and the sense of inevitability. The characters are watching their world fall apart, and they know that they had this power to stop it – to fix it – but they didn’t.

I bookmark quotes. This list will include quotes that you can use as your profile pic. Yes, that easy. Huxley is one of my favorite authors. The following quotes have been collected for you to use as you see fit. Some of the quotes are direct pulls from his writing while others are merely paraphrased and included in various quote compilations. I have included my thoughts as to whether a quote is a direct pull or not after each quote. Huxley: "The great tragedy of Science — the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact." A great line to pull out during debate, for it encapsulates Huxley’s view wonderfully. The other quote listed above is similarly sound for use as it constitutes a perfect rebuttal to someone who confuses science with mere opinion. That it comes from Huxley’s essays and lectures rather than from some insubstantial online quote book makes it that much better to use. A lot of these quotes float around, including this: 'Try to learn something about everything and everything about something'. It looks and reads well enough to have been printed on the cover of a paperback or included in a set of lectures notes on Victorian literature, and I’ve certainly seen it attributed to Huxley in such contexts. Another favourite of skeptics is the section which describes the parasitic wasp in exacting detail and then uses this as a basis to discuss the problems of suffering in nature and religion. Again, the sentiment is true to form for Huxley, but as ever the catchiest phrases and most evocative imagery are prone to being somewhat amplified in quotation. As before, another good quote that is often attributed to Huxley is: 'It is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and end as superstitions'. Again, I suspect this to be a rather condensed version of a longer quote or passage. In terms of pasting to a profile, or to create a banner, it’s probably best to stick with the two quoted at the top. For a list of “things that Huxley could have said”, it’s generally okay to use these really nice-sounding paraphrases, provided you acknowledge the uncertainty somewhere. (As I said, I love these quotes for lots of reasons, not least that they force me to adopt a healthy skepticism to pretty ideas – a commodity in short supply.)

It's the one about forgetfulness. And it's even more powerful when you think of it in terms of real life too. That we live on in the memories of others is a lot of people's greatest comfort. Which is why the way One Piece dreams up the idea of people living on in the memories of others through dreams and wills is so cool. The will of Hiriluk lives on in Chopper, in the research he did, and in the cherry blossoms that bloom every year over the seat of the man's defeat: the castle. This is one of the profound moments of wisdom in One Piece, packaged up in a fun, adventurous story. And that's why I think it's so enduring. It's one of my top five anime/manga moments of all time.

This quote is almost wistful. It’s the basis for his whole reason for being a hero. As a young boy he came up with the simple, yet reasonable, conclusion that “You can save more people if you’re fast” and that has remained the motivation for his actions as a hero throughout his life. The quote is almost tragic in its purity. The child’s assertion makes sense, but we know from our adult perspective the horrific costs of acting on this which led to his break down and all of the moral compromises that he made along the way. This is the initial motivation for the man who wanted to be a hero, who could solve problems before they even became problems, and this wish drove him throughout his life.

These quotes from Mulford have often been useful for me as “horseradish” – sprinkling a bit of pungency to enliven dull uninspiring inclinations when struggling with procrastination on a project. Of course the most useful are a few short pithy ones that can be chanted like a mantra and leave one immediately re-focused and inspired such as: “You are what you think about all day long.” and “Thoughts are things.” I approach these quotes with skepticism, though. They are great one-liners, but as with most quote books, the words themselves aren’t enough to effect change. Mulford did great work here. As I ‘work’ with these quotes, I approach them somewhat respectfully, though. I bring out the appropriate ones when I’m feeling doubtful about a project and use them as inspiration for a 5 minute re-write of my current script of “I’m not going to finish this.” These quotes are how I remember to be programming my mental playlist of the best self-help quotes, and they have saved me on more occasions than I care to admit. Most importantly, though, they leave me in an endearingly odd state of calm and ability.

Personality is the reason why the legendary thief Arsene Lupin has remained relevant for so long. He is more than just clever, he is also a showman. In every one of his capers there is a performance aspect and he delights in the fact that the audience for his crimes are in on the same secret as the readers of his adventures. Written by French writer Maurice Leblanc in the Gilded Age, the Lupin stories are a commentary on the excesses of the wealthy class of the time. However, the character of the gentleman thief has become a trickster archetype in his own right, akin to legendary robbers Robin Hood and the Norse god Loki. A French twist is added to the character. The stories are a constantlychanging mix of suspense and humor and even when the plot isextending believability to the breaking point, one forgives it because one is having so much fun in the company of this supremely charming character. And that is the mark of a true classic: you come back to it not for the plot, but for the character.

For the average reader who reads somewhat quickly, 25-30 hours is a fair estimate to complete this novel. My Kindle clocked the unabridged text to be 28 hours of ‘reading time’. Once you get past the slow start of the first 200 pages or so, the novel FLYS. The first 200 or so pages are a bit of a slog, but trust me, it is so worth it. Someone recently read this during a 2 week quarantine and called it ‘the best captivity escape double feature ever’.
