Apocalyptic Quotes - Page 2

• The truly apocalyptic view of the world is that things do not repeat themselves. It isn't absurd, e.g., to believe that the age of science and technology is the beginning of the end for humanity; that the idea of great progress is delusion, along with the idea that the truth will ultimately be known; that there is nothing good or desirable about scientific knowledge and that mankind, in seeking it, is falling into a trap. It is by no means obvious that this is not how things are.

  Ludwig Wittgenstein

• Por supuesto, el comentario de Jastrow es exagerado en el mejor de los casos; los teólogos apenas predijeron el Big Bang. Si nuestro universo resulta ser cerrado, por tanto con un final, esto no significa que las visiones apocalípticas del fin del mundo dieran en el blanco. E incluso si un principio para el universo es una predicción acertada de una versión del teísmo, esto sigue sin ser tan impresionante. Después de todo, incluso un reloj parado acierta dos veces al día. El Big Bang se convierte en un fuerte apoyo para Dios sólo con un argumento que demuestre que tal comienzo requiere un Creador.

• When I first encountered the poems of Jon Woodward, I was stunned into the state that is my life's joy-I was in the presence of the inimitable. Uncanny Valley extends that experience-almost into another dimension. These apocalyptic, pixilated poems forge a mythology of our ravaged culture, one that might have been written in the future. If you want poetry to give you a persimmon on a plate, look elsewhere; if you want to know what happens when seven trees fall on the highway and the story is told by a stutterer, this is the book, and it could only have been written by Woodward.

• I grew up in the '80s where there's a lot of these kind of post-apocalyptic, post-comet, post-whatever it was, so that always captured my imagination a lot as a little kid, that idea of getting access to secret places and being able to roam around where you're not supposed to.

• I think the environmental movement has failed in that it's used the stick too much; it's used the apocalyptic tone too much; it hasn't sold the positive aspects of being environmentally concerned and trying to pull us out.

• Truth has advocates who seek understanding," Richard said. "Corrupt ideas have miserable little fanatics who attempt to enforce their beliefs through intimidation and brutality... through faith. Savage force is faith's obedient servant. Violence on an apocalyptic scale can only be born of faith because reason, by its very nature, disarms senseless cruelty. Only faith thinks to justify it.

• I'm convinced no one actually likes clubs. It's a conspiracy. We've been told they're cool and fun; that only "saddoes" dislike them. And no one in our pathetic little pre-apocalyptic timebubble wants to be labelled "sad" - it's like being officially declared worthless by the state. So we muster a grin and go out on the town in our millions.

• Miami es muy divertida cada vez que voy. Es como el mundo postapocalíptico de Barbie: todo es rosa y hay palmeras por todas partes. Pero también está toda esa gente con gafas de sol locas, almacenes con fiestas enfermas en las que todas las chicas van cubiertas de pinchos y cuero negro. Es un lugar muy raro.

• The Caribbean is such an apocalyptic place, whether it's the decimation of the indigenous populations by the Europeans, whether it's the importation of slaves and their subsequent being worked to death by the millions in many ways, whether it's the immigrant processes which began for many people, new worlds ending their old ones.

• If the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) raises the hackles of the conspiracy theorists, the Bilderberg meetings must induce apocalyptic visions of omnipotent international bankers plotting with unscrupulous government officials to impose cunning schemes on an ignorant and unsuspecting world.

• En mi propio país, muchas de las películas de los últimos años expresan nuestros temores innatos sobre lo que nos espera. Son visiones apocalípticas que dejan sólo a unos pocos habitantes en la Tierra, ciudades enteras que sobreviven bajo cúpulas porque hemos agotado nuestros recursos naturales. Y a menudo en estas películas, por razones que cuestiono, tenemos alienígenas espaciales que siempre están volando Washington, D.C., y la Casa Blanca.

• I feel like when we talk about post-apocalyptic themes that's what we're really talking about. We're always returning to this sense of being alone in a strange new place where all is bleak and all is lost. And it is this sense of isolation that permeates the whole album. I wanted to go into the balance between fear and transcendence.
