Borders Quotes - Page 9

• It is only through the psyche that we can establish that God acts upon us, but we are unable to distinguish whether these actions emanate from God or from the unconscious. We cannot tell whether God and the unconscious are two different entities. Both are border-line concepts for transcendental contents. But empirically it can be established, with a sufficient degree of probability, that there is in the unconscious an archetype of wholeness.

  Carl Jung

• Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

• I think there are some mass destruction capabilities that are still inside Iraq. I think there's some weapons that have been shipped over the border to Syria. But I don't think we're going to find that their capabilities provided the imminent threat that many feared in this country. So I think it's going to be a tough search, but I think there's stuff there.

• During the last 100 years our people have been in a process of building up the country and the nation, of expansion, of getting additional Jews and additional settlements in order to expand the borders here. Let no Jew say that the process has ended. Let no Jew say that we are near the end of the road.

• Although our love is waning, let us stand by the lone border of the lake once more, together in that hour of gentleness. When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep.

• Todos los grandes misioneros pioneros tenían una "nostalgia invertida", una pasión por llamar hogar a aquel país que más necesitaba el Evangelio. En esta pasión morían todas las demás pasiones; ante esta visión se desvanecían todas las demás visiones; esta llamada ahogaba todas las demás voces. Eran los pioneros del Reino, los precursores de Dios, deseosos de cruzar las fronteras y descubrir nuevas tierras o conquistar nuevos imperios...".

• A los liberales no les importa. Su enfoque consiste en arrancar los cimientos de la sociedad sin preguntarse si sirven para algo. ¿Por qué tenemos leyes de inmigración? ¿Para qué esas fronteras? ¿Para qué tenemos la institución del matrimonio? ¿Para qué necesitamos exámenes estandarizados? Me gusta Keith Richards, ¿por qué no legalizar la heroína? Demos un mazazo a todos estos muros de carga y veamos qué pasa.

• Crossing the uplands of time, Skirting the borders of night, Scaling the face of the peak of dreams, We enter the region of light, And hastening on with eager intent, Arrive at the rainbow's end, And here uncover the pot of gold Buried deep in the heart of a friend.

• A Christian state should be established [in Lebanon], with its southern border on the Litani river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab Legion's strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight on, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo.

• To most outsiders, modern mathematics is unknown territory. Its borders are protected by dense thickets of technical terms; its landscapes are a mass of indecipherable equations and incomprehensible concepts. Few realize that the world of modern mathematics is rich with vivid images and provocative ideas.

• Israel existe; tiene derecho a existir en paz tras unas fronteras seguras y defendibles; y tiene derecho a exigir a sus vecinos que reconozcan estos hechos. He seguido y apoyado personalmente la heroica lucha de Israel por su supervivencia, desde la fundación del Estado de Israel hace 34 años. En las fronteras anteriores a 1967, Israel apenas tenía 16 kilómetros de ancho en su punto más estrecho. El grueso de la población israelí vivía al alcance de la artillería de ejércitos árabes hostiles. No voy a pedir a Israel que vuelva a vivir así.

• We can look forward to the day when the free flow of trade, from the southern reaches of Tierra del Fuego to the northern outposts of the Arctic Circle, unites the people of the Western Hemisphere in a bond of mutually beneficial exchange, when all borders become what the U.S.-Canadian border so long has been: a meeting place, rather than a dividing line.

• We have to deal with reality. The reality is, we have a number a very high number of illegal immigrants in this country. They're meeting an important economic need. And we are a nation of laws, and we're a nation of immigrants. And if we're going to address the real threats, then we need to have a temporary worker program to allow our Border Patrol agents to focus on the criminals and the thugs and the terrorists and the traffickers and smugglers that are trying to come into this country illegally.

• Gardeners (or just plain simple writers who write about the garden) always have something they like intensely and in particular, right at the moment you engage them in the reality of the borders they cultivate, the space in the garden they occupy at any moment, they like in particular this, or they like in particular that.
