Die schönsten Zitate und Sprüche aus Les Misérables

Hörst du, wie das Volk erklingt? Von uns'rer Wut erzählt der Wind
Das ist die Symphonie von Menschen, die nicht länger Sklaven sind
Jedes Herz schlägt, wie es kann, unsere Herzen trommeln laut
Alles fängt ganz von neuem an, wenn der Morgen graut

Do you hear the people sing, singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people, who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

Drum trete keinen Hund, auch wenn's ein Welpe ist
Wir kämpfen, bis uns jeder aus den Händen frisst
Und der Welpe frisst euch auf, wenn er erwachsen ist

So never kick a dog because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up
So you'd better run for cover when the pup grows up!

Gnad' mir Gott, wenn ich mich zeig'
Doch er verdammt mich, wenn ich schweig'

If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned

Und am Ende vom Tag bist du einen Tag älter
So war's immer, so bleibt's, das ist unser Geschick

At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor

Unser Heiland gab sein Leben
Nicht vergeblich war sein Schmerz
Gott erhebt dich aus der Schande
Und ich kauf für Gott dein Herz

By the witness of the martyrs
By the Passion and the Blood
God has raised you out of darkness
I have bought your soul for God

Der Tag beginnt, nun wird es Zeit
Was hält die Welt für mich bereit?

The day begins, and now lets see
What this new world will do for me

Zugleich, zugleich, sonst spürst du ihren Stab
Zugleich, zugleich, du stehst in deinem Grab

Look down, look down, you'll always be a slave
Look down, look down, you're standing in your grave

Man findet Diamanten nur im Dunkel der Erde und Wahrheiten nur in den Tiefen des Denkens.

Selbst die dunkelste Nacht wird enden und die Sonne wird aufgehen.

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Not being heard is no reason for silence.

Laughter is sunshine, it chases winter from the human face.

It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.

To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.

Those who do not weep, do not see.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

If I speak, I am condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!

You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.

Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.

There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.

He was fond of books, for they are cool and sure friends.

He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
