Aphorisms and quotes Height

It is better to view the road from a bird's eye view.
It is very beautiful: the road from above. No dust, no potholes. The roadside flows with July honey, February sour cream, November oatmeal, and the motley wave of May. Calluses, fatigue, a hedgehog in the chest remained below, on the road - a bird above the road cannot understand this. High-pitched sounds are not heard.

Have you ever felt dizzy from heights? It is not the emptiness that causes fear, no, we are afraid of the attraction of this emptiness, we are afraid of the sudden desire to jump.

What is height? The exact opposite of bottom. What a wonderful name for an obsession! What is the bottom if not chaos, mass, crowdedness, overcrowding, infancy, the abyss of dark human madness, anarchy. The bottom is this left side. The top is the right side, where the monarchy, hierarchy, dome, architecture and Angel are located.

Life is like flying in a hot air balloon. The higher altitudes you want to reach, the more ballast you need to get rid of. You need to decide to throw overboard everything that prevents you from rising up.

- How are you not afraid to sit on the very edge? - The fact is that while you are afraid of heights, it is stronger than you. - So I’m not afraid of her! Just the opposite! I like it so much that I’m afraid one day I won’t be able to restrain myself and jump into it.

Richard didn't just feel scared when he found himself on a mountain or on the top floor of a tall building, it gave him a dull, unbearable horror that made his hands sweat and made him want to scream at the top of his lungs. It seemed to him that if he came too close to the edge, some unknown force would push him, and, without controlling himself, he would certainly step into the void. At such moments, Richard stopped trusting himself, and this frightened him even more than the abyss itself.

The teacher explained that from here to the foot of the hill on which the castle stands is three hundred feet, and if you throw a one-penny coin from the top platform, it can pierce a human skull like a real bullet. That night Richard could not sleep for a long time. He kept imagining how the coin falls, picking up speed, and becomes more terrible than a bullet. An ordinary harmless coin suddenly turns into a deadly weapon.

White people always want to go higher and higher, but when they reach the top they find themselves dizzy. The white man must look at the skyscraper from below. At the top, he begins to see his death.

“The mountain is like a mother.” Cling to her, press your face to her chest, and she will not drop you. “I always wanted to find out who his mother was, and I never thought that he would find her in the Fangs of Frost.”

Fear of heights is a lack of confidence in yourself; you yourself don’t know when you might suddenly jump.

Rules for staying high

Statuses about height with meaning are much more common. In them, people write not about its physical dimension, but about its spiritual dimension.

Be humble

He is not noble who is polite to everyone. Noble is the one who, from the top of his position, is kind to those who are in no way capable of being beneficial to him.
If you have climbed to a great height, then do not be lazy to extend your hand to someone who finds it difficult to get there on their own.
Many people, having achieved a certain status, become unrecognizable.
Even on the most inaccessible mountain there is also dirt.
Climbing a great peak is no less important than climbing out of the deepest abyss.
The greatest heights in life are achieved not by the one who became a deputy, but by the one who found a person who will love him until the end of his days.
And in the sky you can get dirty, and on earth you can stay clean.
You still need to go down the mountain. They fall off the pedestal instantly.
A peak conquered independently is valuable.
Everyone has their own concept of height.
When a person flies on an airplane, he turns off his phone. When he manages to climb up in life, he often turns off the phone forever for former friends and poor relatives.
Small people are hard to see from a great height.
The sons of rich parents are actually even lower than those who have overcome a very small peak, but on their own.
No matter how high you climb, don’t forget about those who taught you to walk.
When you talk about conquered peaks, do not look disdainfully at those who could not overcome them.
When you get up, be nice to people. You will meet them again when you go down.
Many rich people are like a mountain climber without equipment. As long as the road is smooth, they walk along it proudly. But as soon as an abyss opens in front of them, they fall into it much faster than anyone else.
An arrogant person thinks he is sitting on top. And only to those standing nearby does he seem to be sitting on a very low stool.
An eagle crawling on the ground is pitiful. But a turtle soaring in the sky is much more ridiculous.

The top is not as important as holding it

Anyone who has undeservedly managed to rise upward experiences real horror before falling down.
Life is like conquering mountains. It is very difficult to climb there, but they go back down quickly. And sometimes they fall into the abyss.
Not everyone can climb vertically. But moving horizontally beautifully is also an art.
If one wants to rise up, one should not carry the burden of past worries with him.
Love, like a mountain peak, often makes you dizzy.
The child is confident that he can fly. An adult knows for sure that he cannot fly. A teenager tries to take off.
If you choose to climb, don't stop halfway.
It is difficult to get into the crowd on the mountain.
What does death represent if not a fall from a great height into the deepest abyss that has no bottom.
He who is born to crawl is not capable of flying.
If at least 1 person envies you, it means that you are a little higher than him.
Luck takes off. Failure is a fall. Both should be done with honor.
Moving up, unlike going down, requires effort.
Always strive to be higher than you are now. Otherwise you will wither away.
When a person experiences fear, it is not a fact that he rises. Often such a feeling accompanies a fall.

Friday in the summer city. Where to look at Ulyanovsk from a bird's eye view

The climatic summer in our area begins on May 15 and ends on August 2. Consider that half of it has passed. And a warm summer from beginning to end is just a gift of fate! Therefore, not a single summer day, evening, especially Friday evening, should be wasted. How far is it until vacation? Couldn't go out of town? Don't be discouraged, we'll arrange a promenade with resort chic right in the center of Ulyanovsk.

The game is called - find your home. View from the terrace of the Olimp bar

We're walking

How long have you been to Venets? It seems to be nearby, but there’s still no time to get to it. In my opinion, New Venets is one of the most beautiful and well-kept places in the city: alleys, benches, beautiful plants, symbolic monuments and historical rarities. Something is always blooming here: now the mock orange, intoxicating with its jasmine scent, is fading, and in a week the linden tree will bloom. The view of the Volga - right up to Kriush - makes the landscape romantic.

The letter E also appeared in the Russian alphabet thanks to the Simbirian Nikolai Karamzin

In the evenings, illuminated fountains are turned on here, and there is a light and music fountain at the Memcenter. For children there is a whole town opposite the Pedagogical University: slides, trampolines, houses, ladders. Here you can ride a pony or horse, rent different models of bicycles or scooters, and test your accuracy at the shooting range.

Monument to the founder of our city Bogdan Khitrovo

Gradually, New Venets is becoming a musical boulevard: people sing here with a guitar and you can even order a song. By the way, they still play and sing without phonograms and amplifiers, which is even more valuable.

Boulevard New Venets

Of course, there are many athletes here. Of course, there is a bicycle path marked along Novy Venets, which several years ago was literally marked by hand by activists of the city cycling movement and the deputy governor of the region, Natalya Martynova. And not because it was her responsibility. She’s just one of those rare people who is selflessly in love with her city!

Memorial sign - Historical city center. Find him on Cathedral Square

If you follow this path from Cathedral Square towards the north, then, after driving along Proletarskaya, Sredny and Northern Venets streets, you will come out to an observation deck on the Presidential Bridge. But our Friday journey will be shorter. Let's start it at Cathedral Square and end at the Venets Hotel. You can get distracted on the way to fast food, which attracts with lights, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and shawarma.

A little history

Native Ulyanovsk residents are so accustomed to their city that they do not consider it anything special. Yes, indeed, our city has never been on the “front line”, in the center of grandiose and great events. He was always a little to the side and behind, but at the same time Simbirsk and the Simbirsk people, Ulyanovsk and the Ulyanovsk people always played a decisive role in the history of our country.

View of Ulyanovsk from the terrace of the Olimp bar

If you read the history of the city in a little more detail, you’ll simply be amazed at how many times the phrases “for the first time” and “the only one” will appear. Eight centuries ago, the peoples inhabiting the territory of our region were the first to repel the invasion of nomads and delayed the Tatar-Mongol raid on Kievan Rus for several decades.

St. Petersburg residents lead illegal tours on the roofs. And Ulyanovsk residents don’t have to travel through musty staircases and dusty attics to see their city from above

The Simbirsk militia, although it had been planning to fight the French for a long time in 1812, played a decisive role in the siege of the fortified city of Glogau, Dresden, preventing the French from breaking out from encirclement, took Magdeburg and Hamburg, and took part in the capture of Marshal Davout’s corps.

Imperial Bridge and wind farm

The first Russian monument to a civilian was erected in Simbirsk - the historiographer Nikolai Karamzin. And Alexander Pushkin was the first to donate money for it. Ulyanovsk became one of the first cities for the evacuation of hospitals and industrial enterprises in the first days of the Great Patriotic War.

Piano in flowers. Also a popular place for photography

The Ulyanovsk Cartridge Plant produced every third cartridge delivered to the front. Imagine, without our city there would have been no Victory!

Beautiful, is not it! Something like a fairytale town

The architecture of Simbirsk deserves special attention. The austere building of the Agricultural Academy was built according to a standard design for government offices, but it was one of the first such buildings in Russia.

With the onset of dusk, New Venets completely resembles a resort boulevard

The elegant building of the local history and art museums is the only one built in memory and honor of a real person - the writer Ivan Goncharov. The Pedagogical University in the style of Soviet modernism is the oldest forge of teaching staff in the Volga region.

Stairs to the lower part of Peoples' Friendship Park. One of the favorite places for Ulyanovsk athletes

And this is not all the memorable buildings, symbols and milestones located on New Venets. This small boulevard is the quintessence of the four hundred year history of our city. And in its history there are many facts, events and people that you can and should be proud of!

The mosaic of the pool at the Memcenter was made by Zurab Tsereteli himself and received the USSR State Prize for it

Let's relax

The evening promenade would not be complete if it did not end with gatherings in a cafe. This time I suggest sitting in the Olympus bar, which is located on the 23rd floor of the Venets Hotel. To get to the bar, you need to go to the main entrance of the hotel and take the elevator to the 22nd floor. Yes, the security may ask: “Where are you going?” There is no need to be shy, access to the bar is free.

Monument to lovers. Yeah, it all starts with a date under the clock

After exiting the elevator, you need to follow the signs and climb the stairs to another floor, and here it is - a small bar on the roof of the first Ulyanovsk skyscraper. Should I have dinner at the bar? A matter of taste. In my purely personal opinion, the cuisine here is quite simple, and the service is slow.

The northern part of the city from the terrace of the Olympus bar

It may happen that the bar will be full, it is not that big. But its main highlight is the open terrace, which offers an amazing view of the city. This is the best place to take selfies with the city in the background, to study its geometry and have fun trying to find your home. It is completely safe to be on the terrace. The floor below is much wider than the terrace.

Have a nice evening!
