Adam Quotes - Page 5

• Veo a Virginia como una costilla tomada de Gran Bretaña... Mientras ambos sigan viviendo bajo el pacto matrimonial, esta Eva podría prosperar mientras su Adán florezca. Cualquier serpiente que la tiente a descarriarse, etc. [sólo hará] que su marido la gobierne más estrictamente.

• The sons of Adam are limbs of each other, Having been created of one essence. When the calamity of time affects one limb, the other limbs cannot remain at rest. If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others, You are unworthy to be called by the name of a human.

• In the legends that males have invented to explain life, the first human creature is a man named Adam. Eve arrives later, to give him pleasure and cause trouble. In the paintings that adorn churches, God is an old man with a beard, never an old woman with white hair. And all the heroes are males: from Prometheus who discovered fire to Icarus who tried to fly, on down to Jesus whom they call the Son of God and of the Holy Spirit, almost as though the woman giving birth to him were an incubator or a wetnurse.

  Oriana Fallaci

• Ni cristiana, ni judía, ni musulmana, ni hindú, ni budista, ni sufí, ni zen. No soy de ninguna religión ni sistema cultural. No soy de Oriente ni de Occidente, no salgo del océano ni subo de la tierra, no soy natural ni etéreo, no estoy compuesto de elementos en absoluto. No existo, no soy una entidad de este mundo ni del otro, no desciendo de Adán ni de Eva ni de ninguna historia de orígenes. Mi lugar no tiene lugar, es un rastro de lo que no tiene rastro. Ni cuerpo ni alma. Pertenezco al amado, he visto los dos mundos como uno y a ese uno llamo y conozco, primero, último, exterior, interior, sólo a ese ser humano que respira.

• God alone created marriage. Adam slept through the entire ceremony. Eve came in late. It seems to me men are still sleeping through marriage, and women are still coming to their senses a little too late. God alone performed that ceremony, and He alone can hold it together.

• My family knew I was gay when I was 15, long before I got famous. But it's a very different thing coming out to your family and coming out to the universe. That's a big step. Maybe without me, there wouldn't be Adam Lambert. Without Bowie, there wouldn't be me. Without Quentin Crisp, there wouldn't have been Bowie. So everything is part of a big daisy chain.

• Again I ask whence it happened that the fall of Adam involved, without remedy, in eternal death so many nations, together with their infant children, except because it so seemed good to God? A decree horrible, I confess, and yet true.

• La casta severidad de los Padres en todo lo relacionado con el comercio de los dos sexos fluía del mismo principio: su aborrecimiento de todo goce que pudiera gratificar la sensualidad y degradar la naturaleza espiritual del hombre. Era su opinión favorita, que si Adán hubiera preservado su obediencia al Creador, habría vivido para siempre en un estado de pureza virginal, y que algún modo inofensivo de vegetación podría haber poblado el paraíso con una raza de seres inocentes e inmortales.

• El argumento [de Milton] es (a) que San Agustín se equivocó al pensar que el único propósito de Dios al dar a Adán una compañera femenina, en lugar de masculina, era la cópula. Porque (b) hay un "consuelo peculiar" en la sociedad del hombre y la mujer "además de, (es decir, además de, aparte de) la cama genial"; y (c) sabemos por las Escrituras que algo análogo a "jugar" o "aflojar las cuerdas" ocurre incluso en Dios. Por eso el Cantar de los Cantares describe mil éxtasis... muy lejos del goce carnal.

• God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

• Blue thought about what Gansey had said, about being wealthy in love. And she thought about Adam, still collapsed on their sofa downstairs. If he had no one to wrap their arms around him when he was sad, could he be forgiven for letting his anger lead him?

• He ordered Ronan to put on some terrible music--Ronan was always too happy to oblige in this department--and then he abused the Camaro at every stoplight on the way out of town. "Put your back into it!" Gansey shouted breathlessly. He was talking to himself, of course, or to the gearbox. "Don't let it smell fear on you!" Blue wailed each time the engine revved up, but not unhappily. Noah played the drums on the back of Ronan's headrest. Adam, for his part, was not wild, but he did his best not to appear unwild, so as not to ruin it for the others.

• Adam Smith's image of competition in the marketplace was intended as an adjunct to his detailed description of human motivation in The Theory of Moral Sentiments , in which the pursuit of profit is tempered at every juncture by sympathy and benevolence, and by the posture of the "impartial spectator" which is forced on us by our moral nature.

• Geology is part of that remarkable dynamic process of the human mind which is generally called science and to which man is driven by an inquisitive urge. By noticing relationships in the results of his observations, he attempts to order and to explain the infinite variety of phenomena that at first sight may appear to be chaotic.
