Ms. Ces loves these lines:

The battle will end however it is destined to end.

The splendors of the world are temporary and will fade.

It was a weird and wonderful night.

So God gives guidance to those who can find it from no one else.

Beowulf

"All beings here on God's earth, wherever it is written that we go, taking our bodies from death's cold bed to the unbroken sleep that follows life's feast."
                      - from Beowulf, Chapter 15

"He who can earn it should fight for the glory of his name; fame after death is the noblest of goals."
                     -Beowulf, from Beowulf, Chapter 21

"And death would be better for them all, and for you, that the kind of life you can lead, branded with disgrace!"
                    -Wiglaf, from Beowulf, Chapter 39

  "Let your sorrow end! It is better for us all to avenge our friends, not mourn  them forever. Each of us will come to the end of this life on earth; he who can earn it should fight for the glory of his name; fame after death is the noblest of goals. Arise, guardian of this kingdom, let us go, as quickly as we can, And have a look at the lady monster. I promise you this: she'll find no shelter, No hole in the ground, no towering ttree, No deep bottom of the lake, where her sins can hide. Be patient for one more day of misery; I ask for no longer." (Lines 1384-1396)
• "Then they came to Beowulf, their king, and announced that his hall, his throne, the best of buildings, had melted away in the dragon's burning breath. Their words brought misery, Beowulf's sorrow beat at his heart: he accused himself of breaking God's law, of bringing the Almighty's anger down on his people. Reproach pounded in his breast, gloomy and dark, and the world seemed a different place." (Lines 2324-2332)
• "Our lord is dead, leader of this people. The dragon killed him, but the beast is dead, too, cut in half by a dagger; Beowulf's enemy sleeps in its blood. No sword could pierce its skin, wound that monster. Wiglaf is sitting in mourning, close to Beowulf's body, Wexstan's weary son, silent and sad, keeping watch for our king, there where Beowulf and the beast that killed him lied dead." (Lines 2900-2909)

Beowulf Quotes

Kala Russell

"Let your sorrow end! It is better for us all to avenge our friends, not mourn them forever." Line 1383

"They live in secret places, windy cliffs, wolf-dens where water pours from the rocks, then runs underground, where mist steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees growing out over their lake are all covered with frozen spray, and wind down snakelike roots that reach as far as the water and help keep it dark." Line 1358

"Support your two young sons as you and I sustained him in his own early days, his father dead and he but a boy." Line 1185

Meagan Pitcock - Beowulf Quotes

But a monster still lived, and meant revenge.  She'd brooded on her loss, misery had brewery in her heart, that female horror, Grendel's Mother, living in the murky cold lake assigned her since Cain had killed his only brother, slain his father's son with an angry sword.  God drove him off, outlawed him to the dry and barren desert, and branded him with a murder's mark.  And he bore a race of fiends accursed like their father;

(Lines 1257 - 1266)

For hours he sank through the waves; at last he saw the mud of the bottom.  And all at once the greedy she-wolf who'd ruled those waters for half a hundred years discovered him, saw that a creature from above had come to explore the bottom of her wet world.

(Lines 1494 - 1501)

Vomiting fire and smoke, the dragon burned down their homes.  They watched in horror as the flames rose up: the angry monster meant to leave nothing alive.  And the signs of its anger flickered and glowed in the darkness, visible for miles, tokens of its hate and its cruelty, spread like a warning to the Geats who had broken its rest.

(Lines 2312 - 2319) 

Beowulf Quotes : Katelyn Varner

Beowulf Quotes:

1. "In the end each clan on the outlying coasts beyond the whale-road had to yield to him and began to pay tribute. That was one good king." (9-11)

2. "Nor have I seen a mightier man-at-arms on this earth than the one standing here: unless I am mistaken, he is truly noble. This is no mere hanger-on in a hero's armour." (244-251)

3. "So. The Spear-Danes in days gone by and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness. We have heard of those princes' heroic campaigns." (1-3)

Beowulf Quotes : Hillary White

1. "Nor have I ever seen,

    Out of all the men on earth, one greater

    Than has come with you; no commoner carries

    Such weapons, unless his appearance, and his beauty,

    Are both lies."

2. "But the truth

    Is simple: no man swims in the sea

    As I can, no strength is a match for mine:"

3. "'And if death does take me, send the hammered

    The inheritance I had from Hrethel, and he

    From Wayland. Fate will unwind as it must!'"

Beowolf quotes ~ Megan Dunn

He had asked for misery, it was granted him.

It was the Danes` custom to be ready for war, wherever they rested at home or in foreign lands, at their lord`s quick call if he needed them, if trouble came to their king. Lines 1246-1250

It is better for us all to avenge our friends, not mourn them forever.

Beowulf Quotes

1. Better is it for each one of us that he should avenge his friend, than greatly mourn.



2. Our eternal Lord grants some men wisdom, some wealth, makes others great. The world is God's, He allows a man to grow famous, and his family rich, gives him land and towns to rule and delight in ... and who in human unwisdom, in the middle of such power, remembers that it will all end, and too soon?


3. My heart is firm, my hands calm: I need no hot words.

-Jessica Travis-

         On Cain's kindred did the everlasting Lord avenge the murder, for that he had slain Abel; he had no joy of that feud, but the Creator drove him far from mankind for that misdeed. Thence all evil broods were born, ogres and devils and evil spirits — the giants also, who long time fought with God, for which he gave them their reward.

--Lines 107-114

 
 
          They have seen my strength for themselves, have watched me rise from the darkness of war, dripping with my enemies' blood. I drove five great giants into chains, chased all of that race from the earth. I swam in the blackness of night, hunting monsters out of the ocean, and killing them one by one; death was my errand and the fate they had earned. Now Grendel and I are called together, and I've come.

--Lines 417-426



 
        Fate saves the living when they drive away death by themselves!
--Lines 573-574
