Zitate Stephen Crane

„The hard waves see an arm flung high;
Scorn hits strong because of a lie;
Yet there exists a mystic tie.
Unwind my riddle.“

— Stephen Crane
Context: Unwind my riddle. Cruel as hawks the hours fly; Wounded men seldom come home to die; The hard waves see an arm flung high; Scorn hits strong because of a lie; Yet there exists a mystic tie. Unwind my riddle. Epigraph in "[http://web.archive.org/20040803101258/www.geocities.com/stephen_crane_us/clannoname.html The Clan of No Name]" (1899); published in the anthology Wounds in the Rain (1900)

„The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting.“

— Stephen Crane
Context: The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors. Ch. 1 First lines.

„I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.“

— Stephen Crane
Context: I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. "It is futile," I said, "You can never—""You lie," he cried, And ran on. XXIV

„Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.“

— Stephen Crane

„They were going to look at war, the red animal — war, the blood-swollen god. And they were deeply engrossed in this march.“

— Stephen Crane
Context: The line, broken into moving fragments by the ground, went calmly on through fields and woods. The youth looked at the men nearest him, and saw, for the most part, expressions of deep interest, as if they were investigating something that had fascinated them. One or two stepped with overvaliant airs as if they were already plunged into war. Others walked as upon thin ice. The greater part of the untested men appeared quiet and absorbed. They were going to look at war, the red animal — war, the blood-swollen god. And they were deeply engrossed in this march. Ch. 3

„A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."“

— Stephen Crane, War Is Kind and Other Poems
A Man Said to the Universe, No. 20

„It was not well to drive men into final corners; at those moments they could all develop teeth and claws.“

— Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage

„Think as I think," said a man, "or you are abominably wicked; you are a toad." And after I thought of it, I said, "I will, then, be a toad.“

— Stephen Crane

„If I am going to be drowned — if I am going to be drowned — if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods, who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees?“

— Stephen Crane, The Open Boat and Other Stories
Pt. VI

„When the suicide arrived at the sky, the people there asked him: "Why?" He replied: "Because no one admired me.“

— Stephen Crane, Complete Poems of Stephen Crane

„Tell her this
And more,—
That the king of the seas
Weeps too, old, helpless man.
The bustling fates
Heap his hands with corpses
Until he stands like a child
With surplus of toys.“

— Stephen Crane, Complete Poems of Stephen Crane

„Sometimes, the most profound of awakenings come wrapped in the quietest of moments.“

— Stephen Crane

„Two or three angels
Came near to the earth.
They saw a fat church.
Little black streams of people
Came and went in continually.
And the angels were puzzled
To know why the people went thus,
And why they stayed so long within.“

— Stephen Crane, Complete Poems of Stephen Crane

„But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.“

— Stephen Crane

„A MAN FEARED

A man feared that he might find an assassin;
Another that he might find a victim.
One was more wise than the other.“

— Stephen Crane

„Half of tradition is a lie.“

— Stephen Crane
