Blades Quotes - Page 5

• The lancet fluke (Dicrocoelium) infects the brain of ants by taking control and driving them to climb to the top of a blade of grass where they can be eaten by a cow. The ingested fluke then lays eggs in the cow gut. Eventually, the eggs exit the cow, and hungry snails eat the dung (and fluke eggs). The fluke enters the snail's digestive gland and gets excreted in sticky slime full of a seething mass of flukes to be drunk by ants as a source of moisture.

• I have to admit that one of the saddest things I see in ministry is a woman who belittles her husband. Even if he has indeed failed in some way, his wife’s disparaging words compound the disaster exponentially. Her cynicism is utterly emasculating, and many times, incredibly subtle. Like a fine, thin blade, it slices deep, penetrating to the very core of his masculine soul.

• The big rules of knife fighting are (a) do not try it at home, and (b) the whole point is never, ever use the blade. It is there to distract your opponent. While he stares at the gleaming steel, you kick his balls to kingdom come--he's all yours. Just a tip!

• The spirit of Route 66 is in the details: every scratch on a fender, every curl of paint on a weathered billboard, every blade of grass growing up through a cracked street.

• Pero la curación de la mente es algo totalmente distinto. Esa curación se produce gradualmente si estás con la naturaleza, con esa naranja en el árbol, y la brizna de hierba que se abre paso entre el cemento, y las colinas cubiertas, ocultas, por las nubes.

• Soy producto [...de] un sinfín de libros. Mi padre compraba todos los libros que leía y nunca se deshacía de ninguno de ellos..... Siempre tuve la misma certeza de encontrar un libro nuevo para mí que la que tiene un hombre que entra en un campo de encontrar una brizna de hierba nueva.

• Teach me to take all grace / And spring it into blades of act, / Grow spears and sheaves of charity, / While each new instant, (new eternity) / Flowering with clean and individual circumstance, / Speaks me the whisper of [God's] consecrating Spirit. / Then will obedience bring forth new Incarnations / Shining to God with the features of [the Lord's] Christ.

• El hombre sólo permanece hipnotizado con la falsa idea de un ego. Cuando este fantasma se aleja de nosotros, todos los sueños se desvanecen, y entonces se descubre que el Yo único sólo existe desde el Ser más elevado hasta una brizna de hierba.

• Se dice que cuando morimos, los cuatro elementos -tierra, aire, fuego y agua- se disuelven uno a uno, cada uno en el otro, y finalmente simplemente se disuelven en el espacio. Pero mientras vivimos, compartimos la energía que hace que todo, desde una brizna de hierba hasta un elefante, crezca y viva y luego, inevitablemente, se desgaste y muera. Esta energía, esta fuerza vital, crea el mundo entero.

• The sensation of writing a book is the sensation of spinning, blinded by love and daring. It is the sensation of rearing and peering from the bent tip of a grass blade, looking for a route.

• One particular aspect of Siddhartha’s revelation of the outside world has always struck me. Quite possibly he lived his first thirty years without any knowledge of number. How must he have felt, then, to see crowds of people mingling in the streets? Before that day he would not have believed that so many people existed in all the world. And what wonder it must have been to discover flocks of birds, and piles of stones, leaves on trees and blades of grass! To suddenly realise that, his whole life long, he had been kept at arm’s length from multiplicity.

• Nevertheless, just as I believe that the Book of Scripture illumines the pathway to God, so I believe that the Book of Nature, with its astonishing details-the blade of grass, the Conus cedonulli, or the resonance levels of the carbon atom-also suggest a God of purpose and a God of design. And I think my belief makes me no less a scientist.

• Economic progress means the discovery and application of better ways of doing things to satisfy our wants. The piping of water to a household that previously dragged it from a well, the growing of two blades of grass where one grew before, the development of a power loom that enables one man to weave ten times as much as he could before, the use of steam power and electric power instead of horse or human power - all these things clearly represent economic progress.

• Heroes do not dwell in a time of peace; heroes are hardened in a kiln against the sorrows. Their troubles sharpen the blade and make it gleaming. The glint becomes a brightness that is raised high on a hill, allowing women and men to see beyond themselves. For light swallows darkness. Truth buries death. Heroes are not born. They are filled by Music.
