Assembly Quotes - Page 6

• I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections. and it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill. I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self, and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help and patience, and a certain difficult repentance long difficult repentance, realization of life’s mistake, and the freeing oneself from the endless repetition of the mistake which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

• I remember the first time I saw you. Your hair was in two braids instead of one. And I remember when you... you sang in the music assembly and the teacher said... "Who knows The Valley Song?" and your hand shot straight up. After that, I... I watched you going home every day...

• One evening, when we were already resting on the floor of our hut, dead tired, soup bowls in hand, a fellow prisoner rushed in and asked us to run out to the assembly grounds and see the wonderful sunset. Standing outside we saw sinister clouds glowing in the west and the whole sky alive with clouds of ever-changing shapes and colors, from steel blue to blood red. The desolate grey mud huts provided a sharp contrast, while the puddles on the muddy ground reflected the glowing sky. Then, after minutes of moving silence, one prisoner said to another, "How beautiful the world could be.

• Obviously a garden is not the wilderness but an assembly of shapes, most of them living, that owes some share of its composition, it’s appearance, to human design and effort, human conventions and convenience, and the human pursuit of that elusive, indefinable harmony that we call beauty. It has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. It is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why it is never finished.

• En los Estados Unidos de los años 70, las protestas solían ser muy eficaces, pero en décadas posteriores los ayuntamientos han creado sigilosamente una red de "sobrepermisividad", requisitos diseñados para sofocar la libertad de reunión y el derecho a solicitar al gobierno la reparación de agravios, ambos recogidos en nuestra primera enmienda.

• Hecho histórico: las personas dejaron de ser personas en 1913. Ese fue el año en que Henry Ford puso sus coches sobre rodillos e hizo que sus trabajadores adoptaran la velocidad de la cadena de montaje. Al principio, los trabajadores se rebelaron. Renunciaron en masa, incapaces de acostumbrar sus cuerpos al nuevo ritmo de la época. Desde entonces, sin embargo, la adaptación se ha transmitido: todos la hemos heredado en cierta medida, de modo que nos enchufamos directamente a joy-sticks y mandos a distancia, a movimientos repetitivos de cien tipos.

• I'm partly somebody else trying to fit in and say the right things and do the right thing and be in the right place and wear what everybody else is wearing.

Kids are like robots, off an assembly line, and I don't want to be a robot!

• So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his words. Just like you, my fine, handsome friend.
