Autonomy Quotes - Page 6

• I wouldn't advocate for a feminism that's buttoned-up and divorced of the messiness of our real lives. Your feelings are your feelings, but you're not going to litigate your feelings about my body. The feminist ethics that I signed up for were respect for my bodily autonomy, that my experience is my experience, and that I'm an expert in my own life.

• Creo que existe un peligro real de que la islamofobia sea en realidad una tapadera para algo mucho más maligno. No quiero parecer un portavoz del Tribunal de Arbitraje Musulmán, pero soy partidario de la autonomía de las comunidades religiosas y de la no discriminación.

• Kurds are going to have to strike a bargain with Bashar Assad that will keep them in the Syrian state and under some kind of Syrian authority, so that they can have the protection of international legitimacy and the Syrian army against the Turks. How they can bargain with Assad is unclear. What kind of negotiations they can come to, unclear. We will see whether they get something like the Kurds in Iraq, which is a large measure of autonomy, or something less than that. That will be one of the big negotiations to come out of this process.

• Cada aspecto de la novela es -o debería ser- una flecha que apunta hacia su significado último, o hacia una multiplicidad de significados posibles. Pero también valoro la autonomía de los lectores, su derecho tanto a leer como a leer mal.

• Autonomía significa que las mujeres se definan a sí mismas y definan los valores con los que van a vivir, y que empiecen a pensar en mecanismos institucionales que ordenen su entorno de acuerdo con sus necesidades.... Autonomía significa salir de un mundo en el que se nace para la marginalidad, para un pasado sin sentido y un futuro determinado por otros, hacia un mundo en el que se actúa y se elige, consciente de un pasado con sentido y libre para forjar el propio futuro.

• En general, se admite que los valores culturales (humanización) y las instituciones y políticas existentes en la sociedad rara vez, o nunca, están en armonía. Esta opinión ha encontrado su expresión en la distinción entre cultura y civilización, según la cual "cultura" se refiere a alguna dimensión superior de la autonomía y la realización humanas, mientras que "civilización" designa el reino de la necesidad, del trabajo y el comportamiento socialmente necesarios, donde el hombre no es realmente él mismo y está en su propio elemento, sino que está sujeto a la heteronomía, a las condiciones y necesidades externas.

• The ultimate freedom for creative groups is the freedom to experiment with new ideas. Some skeptics insist that innovation is expensive. In the long run, innovation is cheap. Mediocrity is expensive—and autonomy can be the antidote.”   TOM KELLEY General Manager, IDEO

• The assumption is that life doesn't need to be navigated with lessons. You can just do it intuitively. After all, you only need to achieve autonomy from your parents, find a moderately satisfying job, form a relationship, perhaps raise some children, watch the onset of mortality in your parents' generation and eventually in your own, until one day a fatal illness starts gnawing at your innards and you calmly go to the grave, shut the coffin and are done with the self-evident business of life.

• Hacer recaer en el individuo la carga de derribar puertas para encontrar una mejor educación para un niño es atractivo para los conservadores porque reafirma su fe en la ambición y la autonomía individuales. Pero pedir a un individuo que derribe puertas que hemos encadenado y cerrado antes de su llegada es injusto.

• By lying, we deny others a view of the world as it is. Our dishonesty not only influences the choices they make, it often determines the choices they can make—and in ways we cannot always predict. Every lie is a direct assault upon the autonomy of those we lie to.

• No puedes culparme. Lo digo literalmente. Eres incapaz de culparme. Eres humano. Ser humano es elegir la libertad frente al encarcelamiento, la autonomía frente a la dependencia, la libertad frente a la servidumbre. No puedes culparme porque sabes (vamos, hombre, siempre lo has sabido) que la idea de pasar la eternidad sin nada que hacer, excepto alabar a Dios, es totalmente inapelable. Te quedarías catatónico al cabo de una hora. El cielo es un swiz porque para entrar tienes que dejarte fuera. No puedes culparme porque, por favor, sé sincero contigo mismo por una vez, tú también te habrías ido.

• Carla Hesse nos ha dado una nueva y asombrosa mirada a la lucha de las mujeres por la expresión independiente y la autonomía moral durante la Revolución Francesa y después. Privadas de los derechos políticos y civiles de los hombres, las mujeres literarias se lanzaron al mundo ampliado de la publicación, respondiendo a los tratados filosóficos de los hombres con provocativas novelas sobre las opciones y oportunidades de las mujeres. Ameno y erudito, La otra Ilustración enlaza a las mujeres desde Madame de Stael hasta Simone de Beauvoir en un camino alternativo y atrevido hacia la modernidad.

• The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá'u'lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded.

• It is quite clear that as long as the nations of the world spend most of their energy, money, and emotional strength in quarreling with words and weapons, a true offensive against the common problems that threaten human survival is not very likely. A world government that can channel human efforts in the direction of the great solutions seems desirable, even essential. Naturally, such a world government should be a federal one, with regional and local autonomy safeguarded and with cultural diversity promoted.

• But Adam and Eve thought that it was they who were determining the course they would follow, that they were only exercising their autonomous right to determine for themselves the true, the good, and the beautiful. They became, in their understanding, their own authority, and their fallen descendants ever since that time have claimed a similar autonomy from God

• Los padres franceses se preocupan mucho por sus hijos. Conocen a los pedófilos, las alergias y los peligros de asfixia. Toman precauciones razonables. Pero no sienten pánico por el bienestar de sus hijos. Esta actitud más tranquila les permite establecer límites y dar autonomía a sus hijos.

• En nuestra cultura, a menudo se confunde privacidad con secreto. Las personas abiertas, honestas y que dicen la verdad valoran la privacidad. Todos necesitamos espacios donde podamos estar a solas con nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos, donde podamos experimentar una sana autonomía psicológica y elegir compartir cuando queramos. Guardar secretos suele tener que ver con el poder, con ocultar y esconder información.

• The more woman aims for personal identity and autonomy ... the fiercer will be her struggle with nature - that is, with the intractable physical laws of her own body. And the more nature will punish her: 'Do not dare to be free! For your body does not belong to you.'

• It has been remarked that when one passes among the patients of the psychiatric ward, he encounters among the several sufferers every aspect of normal personality in morbid exaggeration. ... As one passes through the modern centers of enterprise and of higher learning, he is met with similar autonomies of development. ... The scientist, the technician, the scholar, who have left the One for the Many are puffed up with vanity over their ability to describe precisely some minute portion of the world. Men so obsessed with fragments can no more be reasoned with than other psychotics.
