Geppetto Quotes

I have smoothed the hem of the robe of Parsifal. Watched Giotto's sheep wander from a fresco. Prayed before holy icons unveiled, surviving time. Held shavings swept from the hut of Geppetto. Unzipped a body bag and beheld the face of my brother. Witnessed the acolyte scatter petals over a dying poet. I saw the smoke of incense form the shape of my days. I saw my love return to God. I saw things as they are.

On hearing himself called Polendina for the third time, Geppetto lost his head with rage and threw himself upon the carpenter. Then and there they gave each other a sound thrashing. After this fight, Mastro Antonio had two more scratches on his nose, and Geppetto had two buttons missing from his coat. Thus having settled their accounts, they shook hands and swore to be good friends for the rest of their lives.

The system has your brain. They evaluate it to let you. A mafia of established people, your competition, wants to destroy you and functions as Geppetto planting false negative things into your brain and body. Fake news. Wrong accusations.

non ti fidare, ragazzo mio, di quelli che promettono di farti ricco dalla mattina alla sera. Per il solito, o sono matti o imbroglioni!" Il Grillo-parlante a Pinocchio

That’s a conscious decision to presume the primary goodness of Being. That’s an act of courage. Aim high, like Pinocchio’s Geppetto. Wish upon a star, and then act properly, in accordance with that aim. Once you are aligned with the heavens, you can concentrate on the day. Be careful. Put the things you can control in order. Repair what is in disorder, and make what is already good better. It is possible that you can manage, if you are careful. People are very tough. People can survive through much pain and loss. But to persevere they must see the good in Being. If they lose that, they are truly lost.

For two months, Dad, it would be like you had a son. Someone to pitch baseballs to--” “I pitch baseballs to you.” “Someone to hit fly balls to--” “I hit fly balls to you.” “You’d have a real boy--” “He’s not Geppetto,” Tiffany said, “waiting for the blue fairy to touch us with her magic wand.” Maybe not, but I knew Dad had always wanted a son. What father didn’t? But that wasn’t the issue. The issue was: I wanted a boyfriend this summer, and to have a boyfriend, I needed to meet boys, and the Lonestar League was guys, guys, guys. Honesty time. I released a big sigh. “All right, so maybe I’d like to have a brother for the summer.” Okay, not so honest.

When I sing, I'm no longer Ilaria Belmagio. I'm a princess or a revolutionary, I'm a milkmaid who's just had her heart broken---or a fairy who's lost her wand." "Or a nightingale who's been found by a lost boy." "Figaro," Ilaria said, naming the character. "Together, they help each other find their way home. I've always liked that story.

Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics How many lies could Pinocchio tell before it became lethal? Steffan Llewellyn The Centre for Interdisciplinary science, University of Leicester 25/03/2014 Abstract: This paper investigates how many lies Pinocchio could continuously tell before it would become fatal, treating the head and neck forces as a basic lever system with the exponential growth of the nose. This paper concludes that Pinocchio could only sustain 13 lies in a row before the maximum upward force his neck could exert cannot sustain his head and nose. The head’s overall centre of mass shifts over 85 metres after 13 lies, and the overall length of the nose is 208 metres. Pinocchio’s Nose Pinocchio is the fable of a wooden puppet, carved by Geppetto, who dreams of becoming a real boy [1]. Pinocchio was portrayed as a character prone to lying, which is manifested physically through the ability to grow his nose when he tells a lie. One issue of growing his nose would be the shift of Pinocchio’s centre of mass within his head, causing strain on his neck, which helps stabilise his head’s position with upwards force. If this continued, then his neck could not support his head, potentially decapitating the puppet. Outlined here is the minimum lie count Pinocchio could continuously expel. Where Pinocchio manages to form new is not addressed in this paper. Maximum Force Pinocchio’s Neck Can Exert The assumption is simplified by allowing the force exerted upwards through the neck to be positioned at the back of the head. The head is treated as a sphere, and the nose as a cylinder, as shown in The type of wood Pinocchio is carved from is disputed, but for this paper, it is concluded that Pinocchio is made from Oak, with a density of . Pinocchio’s neck will brake if its compression strength threshold is overcome by the weight of his head. The compression strength of oak is 1150Psi [2], and the circumference of the average human neck is 0.4m [3]. The maximum force Pinocchio’s neck can sustain is: ( ) ( ) Centre of Mass, and Force Exerted Figure 1. Figure 1: Illustrates the lever system of Pinocchio’s head and neck, with opposite forcesNeck muscles are required to balance the weight exerted by the skull.Usually, the weight of the nose can be considered negligible. In Pinocchio’s case, as the nose increases, it will have a significant impact on the centre of mass and weight of his head. The mass of the head is unchanged: ( )

Spesso sono però anche personaggi noti del mondo del fumetto a vestire la camicia nera. Come Paperino, che si reca in Etiopia per far opera di civilizzazione: Ai moretti paperino dice «fatemi attenzione» Nel boschetto qui vicino farò un poco di lezione[7]. Pinocchio è arruolato nelle file delle camicie nere fin dalle origini del fascismo[8]. In una di quelle storie, Avventure e spedizioni punitive di Pinocchio fascista, a Mastro Geppetto vengono attribuiti i trascorsi risorgimentali e patriottici di Collodi

Evitato il pericolo grazie all’intervento della fata turchina e agli ammonimenti di Geppetto, Pinocchio incontra per strada il «Gatto Pietruccio» (Pietro Nenni) e la «Volpe Palmira» (Palmiro Togliatti). Quest’ultima lusinga Pinocchio invitandolo a votare per i partiti della sinistra. In cambio la Volpe Palmira gli promette di portarlo nel campo «Kolkhoz dei miracoli quinquennali» presidiato dal «Grande Baffone» (Stalin).

Pinocchio entra quindi nella prigione del Paese degli allocchi dove, nel «carcere delle nazioni», si intrattiene a colloquio con Ungarina e le sue «compagne di sventura»: Bulgarina, Albanella, Cecosloveta, Romenina e Polonuccia. Queste implorano Pinocchio di avvertire «la fatina dai capelli tricolori» (la Repubblica italiana) che è in pericolo. Alla fine della storia Pinocchio scopre la retta via grazie all’ammonimento di Geppetto: «A sinistra c’è il mare infido: vi si aggira lo squalo rosso pronto ad uccidere la tua libertà. A destra c’è solo una palude con le sabbie mobili […] la strada della libertà, del progresso e della giustizia sta nel centro».

The analytical mind, made from shattered pieces. The illogical soul, found in a junk drawer. The optimistic heart, a stray taken in. We are the products of our own creation, We’re Frankenstein, and his Monster, Geppetto, and Pinocchio, Pan, and Hook, Alice and the Hatter, The Kings and Queens of broken things on the island of misfit toys.

With the last of my magic, I pledge to help Pinocchio become a real boy." She extended her hand to Chiara. "You remember what happened when our magics came together and struck your dove?" As if on cue, Chiara's white dove flew past them and landed on Ilaria's arm. "She came to life," Chia murmured. "Thanks to the two of us." "It takes two to make miracles happen," said Ily. "Will you do the honors?" Taking in a deep breath, Chiara nodded, and together, hand in hand, the sisters approached the lifeless Pinocchio. Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday you will be a real boy. She touched her wand to Pinocchio's head. "Awake, Pinocchio. Awake." Magic brimmed across the young boy's still body, bringing him to life. His cheeks turned rosy, and his wooden nose became one made of flesh, the nails in his knees and elbows turning into joints and bone and muscle. Gone were his donkey ears and tail. "Papa!" he spoke. "Papa, I'm alive!" Geppetto rose from the sand, unable to believe his ears. But when he saw his dearest Pinocchio a real boy, his tears of sorrow turned to joy. He scooped his boy into his arms. "My son," he whispered. "You've come home." Chiara watched them, her heart full of relief and gladness. This was what made her love being a fairy--- the tender moments of joy, the proof that hope was never in vain.

Still humming to himself, he flipped past sketches---a father and son hiking the base of Mount Cecilia, an old woman feeding pigeons along the old fountain in the middle of Pariva's town square, a young couple strolling around the bell tower at dusk---until he found a fresh new page.

Geppetto remembered then that she had asked for a figurine. "What shall I carve you?" Chiara thought for a moment. "A dove," she said finally. "It's what my mamma and papa used to call me when I was little---because I'd bring peace between Ily and Nico." The nickname made her smile. "And it's my favorite bird.

You should open a shop, Geppetto. A toy shop. I can already imagine what joy you'd bring to the children." "A toy shop?" Geppetto pretended he'd never dreamt of such a thing. "Oh, no, no. There's no future for a toy maker here." "Is that you speaking," said Chiara softly, "or your father?" It astounded him how easily she saw into his heart. No one had said that to him before. Was that why the fairies had come to her, because she could read his dreams and the fears that hindered them?

Just as Geppetto persisted in his false wish to make his created toy into a real boy, even so you must persist with Pinocchio’s nose and courage in the belly of the fish, until the fairy of the universe waves her wand, enchants your dreams and gives genuine life to your every wish.

È Enea che prende sulle spalle il padre Anchise. Pinocchio con Geppetto. Tutta una generazione che sta cercando di portare in salvo un'altra. Perchè nessuno si salva da solo, sì, ma se c'è qualcosa di bello che ci ha lasciato questo virus è stato dirci che, se vuoi salvare te stesso, devi prima salvare l'altro.

Power is like the fish that swallows Geppetto. People become trapped by it. They're afraid that without it, they'll drown in the sea of mediocrity with the rest of us.
