Backwards Quotes - Page 7

• El trabajo más preciso suele hacerse a mano, con herramientas manuales. Algunas personas confían en las máquinas para su precisión, y mi forma de trabajar es al revés. Confío en las máquinas para el arranque de viruta y luego, cuando se trata de los últimos retoques y el ajuste de juntas y cosas, de hacer que las cosas funcionen juntas, confío más en las herramientas afiladas que empujo a mano.

• If the music in a groove fits with what you're playing, then play it; if not, then you can play it backwards. If that doesn't work, you try it at a different speed. If it really doesn't work you just break it. The whole ritual to put a record on a turntable just to listen to it, I don't do that too often.

• You matter as much as the things that matter to you. And I got so backwards trying to matter to him. All this time, there were real things to care about: real, good people who care about me, and this place. It's so easy to get stuck. You just get caught in being something, being special or cool or whatever, to the point where you don't even know why you need it; you just think you do.

• All things that are, are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist. If we do not exist, then there is nothing but blind oblivion. And even oblivion must end someday. Lord, will you grant me just a little time? For the proper balance of things. To return what was given. For the sake of prisoners and the flight of birds. Death took a step backwards. It was impossible to read expression in azrael's features. Death glanced sideways at the servants. Lord, what can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?

• Hay dos diosas en vuestro corazón", les dijo. "La Diosa de la Sabiduría y la Diosa de la Riqueza. Todo el mundo cree que primero tiene que conseguir riqueza, y la sabiduría vendrá. Así que se preocupan por perseguir el dinero. Pero lo entienden al revés. Tienes que entregar tu corazón a la Diosa de la Sabiduría, darle todo tu amor y atención, y la Diosa de la Riqueza se pondrá celosa, y te seguirá". En otras palabras, no le pidas nada a tu carrera y obtendrás más de lo que jamás imaginaste.

• The older you get, you always learn more. Sometimes it's a process of learning about yourself and what your journey is. Sometimes the process moves forward at a rapid pace in a short amount of time - or moves backwards. And you're like, "Man, I thought I had made so much progress, and now all of a sudden, I'm 10 steps further behind than when I started."

• When Europeans came to the New World the first thing they said is, well, Indians don't appreciate property. They're savage. They're backwards. They're uncivilized. ... Nothing could be farther from the truth. Tribes have very clear conceptions of their traditional boundaries, they maintain their rights and their claim sovereignty over the lands according to their own honored traditions and tribal elders. And so, you can go out there on the reservation, and there might be a reservation boundary established by the United States. But then there's traditional land boundaries.

• I keep saying that backwards is all you can see. You can't see front. My wife says, "Stop, you're always in the past." She sees me sort of daydreaming.

• I never think of what it's going to be like later. I only think in the present tense. The only time I think backwards is when I have to reissue something.

• I love the way a story's ending can force you to read backwards. It's as if you are slowly adjusting a kaleidoscope until a random scattering of colored crystals suddenly falls into a beautiful symmetrical pattern.

• No volverás a tocar a nuestros hijos", gritó la señora Weasley. Bellatrix soltó una carcajada, la misma carcajada que había soltado su primo Sirius al caer de espaldas a través del velo, y de repente Harry supo lo que iba a ocurrir antes de que ocurriera. La maldición de Molly se elevó por debajo del brazo extendido de Bellatrix y le dio de lleno en el pecho, directamente sobre el corazón. La sonrisa de regodeo de Bellatrix se congeló, sus ojos parecieron desorbitarse: durante un mínimo espacio de tiempo supo lo que había sucedido, y entonces se desplomó, y la multitud que la observaba rugió, y Voldemort gritó.

• Young Sally Owens: He will hear my call a mile away. He will whistle my favorite song. He can ride a pony backwards. Young Gillian Owens: What are you doing? Young Sally Owens: Summoning up a true love spell called Amas Veritas. He can flip pancakes in the air. He'll be marvelously kind. And his favorite shape will be a star. And he'll have one green eye and one blue. Young Gillian Owens: Thought you never wanted to fall in love. Young Sally Owens: That's the point. The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist I'll never die of a broken heart.

• People need a moral code, to help them make decisions. All this bio-yogurt virtue and financial self-righteousness are just filling the gap in the market. But the problem is that it's all backwards. It's not that you do the right thing and hope it pays off; the morally right thing is by definition the thing that gives the biggest payoff.

• Being black and speaking properly are not mutually exclusive. My father was an African, and he spoke beautifully at home. Nelson Mandela speaks beautifully. Should Mandela put his hat on backwards and say, 'Yo, homey, this is Nelson. Yo, Winnie, yo, this is def'?

• No creo que sea como los demás. Quiero decir en algún nivel fundamental profundo. No es sólo ser medio gemelo y leer mucho y ver hadas. No es sólo estar fuera cuando todos están dentro. Yo solía estar dentro. Creo que hay una forma en la que me mantengo al margen y miro hacia atrás cuando están pasando cosas que no es normal.

• Tolkien, who created this marvellous vehicle, doesn't go anywhere in it. He just sits where he is. What I mean by that is that he always seems to be looking backwards, to a greater and more golden past; and what's more he doesn't allow girls or women any important part in the story at all. Life is bigger and more interesting than The Lord of the Rings thinks it is.

• Then the challenge is, once you left brain it and build it, then when you're on stage you have to know it so well that you can get lost in it. I don't want to be onstage looking like a robot, I want to be at the end of the day very emotional and what feels like someone being up there rather than reciting things. That's always the challenge, to analyze and then somehow lose yourself in something you absolutely know backwards and forwards. And nothing's going to surprise you, but you have to be surprised by it and let it surprise you.

• Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It's when you go backwards through the 'begats' and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, 'Hang on, that's a big punishment for eating one lousy apple... There's a human-rights issue.'
