Pius II. citáty

Pius II., rodným jménem Enea Silvio Bartolomeo Piccolomini, byl italský humanista, diplomat a historiograf, který usedl roku 1458 na papežský stolec. Svůj bohatý politický i osobní život popsal ve svém nejobsáhlejším díle, nazvaném Commentaries, což je dodnes zatím jediná autobiografie napsaná papežem v době pontifikátu. Je také znám svými erotickými spisy, které sepsal v dobách svého mládí. Wikipedia

Pius II.: Citáty anglicky

“For what, in all the world, is more common than love? What state, what little town, what family lacks examples? Who, that has reached his thirtieth year, has not endured some villainy for love’s sake? I conjecture from myself whom love has sent into a thousand perils, and I thank the Gods above that I have a thousand times escaped the ambushes prepared for me; more fortunate in my star than Mars whom Vulcan took with Venus, and caught them in an iron net, and displayed them, as a laughing-stock, to the other Gods.”

Pope Pius II kniha The Tale of Two Lovers

Zdroj: The Tale of Two Lovers, 1444, p. xix, preface (in 1933 edition)

“You ask a thing ill-suited to my years, to yours both offensive and disgusting. For how can it become me, who am near forty, to write of love, or you, that are in your fifties, to read of it That is a subject which delights young minds, and demands a tender heart. Old men are as fitted to tales of love as young men are to tales of prudence. Nor is there anything uglier than old age pursuing love, but lacking strength. Certainly you will sometimes find old men in love,—loved again, never; matrons and girls alike despise old age. No man’s love will hold a woman, but his whom she has seen in the flower of his youth. And if you hear aught to the contrary, there’s a lie behind it. Indeed I know, to write of love does not beseem me, who have already passed the noonday of life and am carried on towards evening; but it dishonours you who ask no less than me who write.”
