Caught Quotes - Page 7

• Participation in the collective life of the polis both restrains the extraordinary individual and enlarges the ordinary individual, allowing him to participate in the extraordinary. An individual can achieve participatory excellence via the accomplishments of the polis and need not always be caught up in the agnostic struggle to outdo his peers.

• The wave of punitiveness that washed over the United States with the rise of the drug war and the get tough movement really flooded our schools. Schools, caught up in this maelstrom, began viewing children as criminals or suspects, rather than as young people with an enormous amount of potential struggling in their own ways and their own difficult context to make it and hopefully thrive. We began viewing the youth in schools as potential violators rather than as children needing our guidance.

• Refugees, especially in their early years, are still caught up in the experience that made them refugees. And they're much more melancholic. They're much more oriented towards the past and towards the country of origin. That can make the process of becoming a part of the new country much more fraught for them.

• I think on all the debate on immigration, and all of that, the class of person that should be given the benefit of the doubt is the genuine refugee that is just in real desperate strait. Some of them are in the United States illegally because of [human] trafficking. They were caught up in trafficking, and you can argue to what extent it's their fault, to what extent they didn't know what they were getting into.

• I think the federal Liberals' micro-tinkering is not causing any kind of upsurge in public confidence. The challenge for Conservatives is how to not get caught in the same web. I mean, the public just discounts what political people and parties say.

• ¡Me encantan los murciélagos! Las mujeres les tienen miedo. Creen que los murciélagos pueden enredarse en su pelo, ¿no? Pero los murciélagos son los animales más bellos, extraordinariamente delicados. ¿Has visto sus ojitos brillantes, llenos de inteligencia, y su piel sedosa como el terciopelo? Y mira todos esos delicados huesitos.

• When I started, with films like 'The Bay Boy' and 'Stand by Me', I look back on those interviews and I'm amazed; there's no mention of my father; it's not even 'son of Donald Sutherland.' I caught a bit of a break in that it never felt like a weight to me.

• When I turned 45, I lay in bed reflecting on all life had taught me. My soul sprang a leak and ideas flowed out. My pen simply caught them and set the words on paper. I typed them up and turned them into a newspaper column of the 45 lessons life taught me. When I hit 50, I added five more lessons and the paper ran the column again.

• After a while I understood that, talking this way, everything dissolves: justice, pine, hair, woman, you and I. There was a woman I made love to and I remembered how, holding her small shoulders in my hands sometimes, I felt a violent wonder at her presence like a thirst for salt, for my childhood river with its island willows, silly music from the pleasure boat, muddy places where we caught the little orange-silver fish called pumpkinseed. It hardly had to do with her. Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances.

• Lo que hay que recordar sobre las aventuras amorosas", dice Simone, "es que todas son como tener mapaches en la chimenea". ... A veces tenemos mapaches en la chimenea", explica Simone. Y una vez intentamos ahuyentarlos. Encendimos un fuego, sabiendo que estaban allí, pero esperábamos que el humo les hiciera escabullirse por arriba y no volver nunca más. En lugar de eso, se prendieron fuego y bajaron a nuestro salón, chamuscados y en llamas y corriendo como locos de un lado a otro hasta que cayeron muertos". Simone traga un poco de vino. "Las relaciones amorosas son así", dice. "Todas son así.

• Creo que hay una historia en el mundo, y sólo una. . . . Los seres humanos están atrapados -en sus vidas, en sus pensamientos, en sus hambres y ambiciones, en su avaricia y crueldad, y también en su bondad y generosidad- en una red de bien y mal. . . . No hay otra historia. A un hombre, después de haberse quitado el polvo y las astillas de su vida, sólo le quedarán las preguntas duras y limpias: ¿Fue bueno o fue malo? ¿He hecho bien o he hecho mal?
