Axes Quotes - Page 5

• The sun burnt every day. It burnt Time. The world rushed in a circle and turned on its axis and time was busy burning the years and the people anyway, without any help from him. So if he burnt things with the firemen, and the sun burnt Time, that meant everything burnt!

  Ray Bradbury

• Estados como éstos [Irán, Irak, Corea del Norte], y sus aliados terroristas, constituyen un eje del mal, armado para amenazar la paz del mundo. Al buscar armas de destrucción masiva, estos regímenes suponen un grave y creciente peligro. Podrían proporcionar estas armas a los terroristas, dándoles los medios para igualar su odio. Podrían atacar a nuestros aliados o intentar chantajear a Estados Unidos. En cualquiera de estos casos, el precio de la indiferencia sería catastrófico.

• We usually speak of the Jewish-Christian civilization - perhaps, the time has come, especially with regard to the Middle East conflict, to talk about the Jewish-Muslim civilization as an axis opposed to Christianity.

• The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical. We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to go there, to gather and think deep thoughts together.

• This town of Sheffield is very populous and large, the streets narrow, and the houses dark and black, occasioned by the continued smoke of the forges, which are always at work: Here they make all sorts of cutlery-ware, but especially that of edged-tools, knives, razors, axes, &. and nails

• Margaret Fuller was already a celebrity, travelling around the world. Emerson, who was the axis around which that whole community turned, just didn't like Fourier's ideas very much. He thought it was all too rigid and programmatic. He said, "Fourier had skipped no fact but one, namely life." He thought it was an inhumane system - the day is scheduled too precisely. He didn't think it would work, and he was right.

• One of the things I'm likely to start building in my shop is a vehicle wherein each wheel has basically a flight-simulator base as its suspension. It's known as a hexapod; it's basically a tripod but each leg is two pistons. So you have six axes of freedom on it. This will be something that can not only do what lowriders do, but shorten or extend its wheelbase and jump forwards, backwards, or from one side to the other. In an off-road situation it could be rolling at speed toward a ravine and then leap across it.

• At least half of every city is wrong. From latitude 30 degrees to latitude 60, say, you've got to have the long axis of the house facing the sun. If the land is cut up into squares, that makes half of all houses wrong if they face the road. Even houses way in the country, and way off the road, face the bloody road. And from there, you just go wronger all the way.

• We are taught all this [the motion of the earth on its axis and around the sun] by the order of succession, in which those phenomena (various planetary happenings) follow each other, and by the harmony of the world, if we will only, as the saying goes, look at the matter with both eyes.

• If time is treated in modern physics as a dimension on a par with the dimensions of space, why should we a priori exclude the possibility that we are pulled as well as pushed along its axis? The future has, after all, as much or as little reality as the past, and there is nothing logically inconceivable in introducing, as a working hypothesis, an element of finality, supplementary to the element of causality, into our equations. It betrays a great lack of imagination to believe that the concept of "purpose" must necessarily be associated with some anthropomorphic deity.

• I despair of persuading people to drop the familiar and comforting tactic of dichotomy. Perhaps, instead, we might expand the framework of debates by seeking other dichotomies more appropriate than, or simply different from, the conventional divisions. All dichotomies are simplifications, but the rendition of a conflict along differing axes of several orthogonal dichotomies might provide an amplitude of proper intellectual space without forcing us to forgo our most comforting tool of thought.

• Hay algunas formas bastante obvias de evaluar la creatividad. Una forma es realizar lo que yo llamo una auditoría de la creatividad, que consiste en examinar sus capacidades y su rendimiento y examinar el porcentaje de ingresos que proceden de productos que tienen menos de cinco años, menos de tres años y que están al día con el periodo contable actual. Luego puedes comparar esas cifras con las de tu competencia siguiendo los mismos ejes.

• [My] pictures are about memory and forgetfulness. The evidence is dissolving. Bones crumble; human ash returns to soil; teeth, sandals, hair, bullets, axes disperse into atoms and molecules. Footprints in the snow will be erased by the next storm. The evidence of evil, like the evidence of good, obeys the universal laws of entropy. Heat cools, matter disintegrates, memories fade. If we let them.

• With fiction, and also with nonfiction that you can take your time doing, you have a much better chance of reaching across the divide and connecting with somebody who is opposed to you on some things. They're opposed to you on one axis, which is politics, but if you go over the axis called puppies, you might find some common ground.

• The funny thing is, this is what everyone assumes, that anybody who talks has an axe to grind. I've been around a long time, and yes, there obviously are people who disagree with policy who talk to me, but it's less axes to grind than people who are really motivated. One of the terrible things about this Administration is that nobody wants to hear bad news.

• You're different. You're more perfect. Time is three things for most people, but for you, for us, just one. A singularity. One moment. This moment. Like you're the center of the clock, the axis on which the hands turn. Time moves about you but never moves you. It has lost its ability to affect you. What is it they say? That time is theft? But not for you. Close your eyes and you can start all over again. Conjure up that necessary emotion, fresh as roses.

• It's interesting that you mention [Andrei] Sakharov's creative axis - he had produced something for the government that he then realized was something other than he intended. That's something [NSA whistleblower] Bill Binney and I share.

• You can have very big local government. By big, I mean very engaged government. Do you measure it in terms of the number of laws? Number of employees? You could make arguments for either one. I tend to think the axis of the size of government is the wrong concern. But I do think that situating power more locally is a legitimate approach.

• Me enamoré. Fue exactamente como una caída, una caída de cabeza hacia un estado de insoportable ligereza. La tierra se inclinó sobre su eje. Entonces no creía en el amor romántico, lo consideraba una construcción humana, una invención de los poetas italianos del siglo XIV. Estaba tan poco preparada para el amor como lo había estado para la bondad y la belleza. De repente, mi corazón parecía hinchado, demasiado grande para mi pecho.

• El egoísmo erige su centro en sí mismo; el amor lo sitúa fuera de sí en el eje del todo universal. El amor aspira a la unidad, el egoísmo a la soledad. El amor es el ciudadano gobernante de una república floreciente, el egoísmo es un déspota en una creación devastada. El egoísmo siembra para la gratitud, el amor para los ingratos. El amor da, el egoísmo presta; y el amor lo hace ante el trono de la verdad judicial, indiferente si es para el disfrute del momento siguiente, o con vistas a la corona de un mártir; indiferente si la recompensa es en esta vida o en la otra.
