Chasms Quotes - Page 4

• She thought she would know when it happened. But now, as she looked around, she wondered if it was really like that at all. Maybe it happened in a million different ways, when you were thinking of it and you weren't. Maybe there was no gap, no jump, no chasm. You didn't forget yourself all at once. Maybe you just looked around one time or another and you thought, Hey. And there you were.

  Ann Brashares

• The sense that in this universe we are treated as strangers, the longing to be acknowledged, to meet with some response, to bridge some chasm that yawns between us and reality, is part of our inconsolable secret. And surely, from this point of view, the promise of glory, in the sense described, becomes highly relevant to our deep desire. For glory meant good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things. The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.

• Percy glanced over. He saw the fallen giant and seemed to understand what was happening. He yelled something that was lost in the wind, probably: Go! Then he slammed Riptide into the ice at his feet. The entire glacier shuddered. Ghosts fell to their knees. Behind Percy, a wave surged up from the bay-a wall of gray water even taller than the glacier. Water shot from the chasms and crevices in the ice. As the wave hit, the back half of the camp crumbled. The entire edge of the glacier peeled away, cascading into the void-carrying buildings, ghosts, and Percy Jackson over the edge.

• Ese pozo de negrura que yace bajo nosotros, en todas partes... la sustancia más firme de la felicidad humana no es más que una fina corteza extendida sobre ella, con apenas la realidad suficiente para soportar la ilusoria escenografía en medio de la cual pisamos.

• As the United States continues its slow but steady recovery from the depths of the financial crisis, nobody actually wants a massive austerity package to shock the economy back into recession, and so the odds have always been high that the game of budgetary chicken will stop short of disaster. Looming past the cliff, however, is a deep chasm that poses a much greater challenge -- the retooling of the country's economy, society, and government necessary for the United States to perform effectively in the twenty-first century.

• ¿Acaso no hay otra manera de alcanzar cierta comprensión del ser que a través del arte? Los propios escritores no analizan lo que hacen; analizar sería mirar hacia abajo mientras cruzan un cañón en la cuerda floja. Decir esto no es mistificar el proceso de la escritura, sino hacer una imagen de la intensa concentración interior que debe tener el escritor para cruzar los abismos de lo aleatorio y hacerlos suyos, como un explorador planta bandera.
