Beam Quotes - Page 10

• When the starry sky, a vista of open seas, or a stained-glass window shedding purple beams fascinate me, there is a cluster of meaning, of colors, of words, of caresses, there are light touches, scents, sighs, cadences that arise, shroud me, carry me away, and sweep me beyond the things I see, hear, or think, The "sublime" object dissolves in the raptures of a bottomless memory. It is such a memory, which, from stopping point to stopping point, remembrance to remembrance, love to love, transfers that object to the refulgent point of the dazzlement in which I stray in order to be.

  Julia Kristeva

• La mañana en que la última hija de Lisbon se suicidó -esta vez fue Mary, y con somníferos, como Therese-, los dos paramédicos llegaron a la casa sabiendo exactamente dónde estaba el cajón de los cuchillos, y el horno de gas, y la viga del sótano desde la que era posible atar una cuerda.

• Mock on, mock on, Voltaire, Rousseau! Mock on, mock on: 'Tis all in vain! You throw the sand against the wind, And the wind blows it back again. And every sand becomes a gem Reflected in the beams divine; Blown back they blind the mocking eye, But still in Israel's paths they shine. The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.

• No puedo causar la luz; lo más que puedo hacer es intentar ponerme en el camino de su rayo. Es posible, en el espacio profundo, navegar con el viento solar. La luz, ya sea partícula u onda, tiene fuerza: se puede montar una vela gigante y partir. El secreto de la visión es navegar con el viento solar. Afina y difunde tu espíritu hasta que tú mismo seas una vela, afilada, translúcida, de costado al menor soplo...

• While Maddox now believed the demon did not want to hurt Ashlyn, he wasn't willing to take a chance. He would talk about flowers and moonbeams - he cringed - if it meant maintaining this delectable inner peace. "Is there a way to break your death-curse?" Ashlyn asked. So much for flowers and moon-beams.

• Washington was a typical American. Napoleon was a typical Frenchman, but Lincoln was a humanitarian as broad as the world. He was bigger than his country - bigger than all the Presidents together. We are still too near to his greatness,' (Leo) Tolstoy (in 1908) concluded, 'but after a few centuries more our posterity will find him considerably bigger than we do. His genius is still too strong and powerful for the common understanding, just as the sun is too hot when its light beams directly on us.' (748)

• I kept glancing at him and away from him, as if his green eyes were hurting me. In modern parlance he was a laser beam. Deadly and delicate he seemed. His victims had always loved him. And I had always loved him, hadn't I, no matter what happened, and how strong could love grow if you had eternity to nourish it, and it took only these few moments in time to renew its momentum, its heat? -Lestat

• A lo largo de su vida, Albert Einstein conservaría la intuición y el asombro de un niño. Nunca perdió el sentido del asombro ante la magia de los fenómenos de la naturaleza -campos magnéticos, gravedad, inercia, aceleración, rayos de luz- que a los adultos nos parecen tan cotidianos. Conservó la capacidad de mantener dos pensamientos simultáneamente en su mente, de desconcertarse cuando entraban en conflicto y de maravillarse cuando podía oler una unidad subyacente. "Las personas como tú y yo nunca envejecemos", escribió a un amigo más tarde. "Nunca dejamos de permanecer como niños curiosos ante el gran misterio en el que hemos nacido.

• Let her alone,' said the enkanto, 'or I will curse you blind, lame, and worse.' The old man laughed. 'I'm a curse breaker, fool.'

• There is absolutely no such thing as reading but by a candle. We have tried the affectation of a book at noon-day in gardens, and in sultry arbours, but it was labor thrown away. Those gay motes in the beam come about you, hovering and teasing, like so many coquets, that will have you all to their self, and are jealous of your abstractions. By the midnight taper, the writers digests his meditations. By the same light we must approach to their perusal, if we would catch the flame, the odour.

• Dios no pesa la criminalidad en nuestra balanza. Nosotros tenemos una absoluta, con el sello de la autoridad sobre ella; y con nosotros una onza es una onza, y una libra una libra. La medida de Dios es el corazón del delincuente, una balanza que varía con cada uno de nosotros, una balanza tan delicada que una lágrima arrojada en el otro lado puede hacer que el peso del error patee la viga.
