Mary Queen Of Scots - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Mary Queen of Scots was a significant historical figure born in December 1542. She became Queen of Scotland when she was just six days old after her father's death. Her early life was marked by her upbringing in France, where she married the French dauphin, Francis II. Following his death, Mary returned to Scotland in 1561 to reclaim her throne, which had been embroiled in religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. As queen, Mary faced numerous challenges, including political intrigue and opposition from Protestant factions. Her marriage to Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, further complicated her reign due to his ambition and their tumultuous relationship, culminating in his suspicious murder. Subsequently, she married James Hepburn, the Earl of Bothwell, who was implicated in Darnley’s murder, leading to public outrage and her eventual forced abdication. Mary fled to England seeking protection from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I, but was imprisoned for 19 years due to fears she would become a rallying point for Catholic conspiracies. In 1587, after being implicated in a plot to assassinate Elizabeth, she was executed. Mary's life, filled with drama and tragedy, has left a lasting legacy, making her one of the most compelling figures in British history.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.

The nun said, I can forgive the language. I'm not sure I can forgive your making an obscene gesture at your mother. Ya gotta know her, Holland said. If you knew her, you'd give her the finger, too.

But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
