Corn Quotes - Page 9

• Picture a tall, dark figure, surrounded by cornfields... NO, YOU CAN'T RIDE A CAT. WHO EVER HEARD OF THE DEATH OF RATS RIDING A CAT? THE DEATH OF RATS WOULD RIDE SOME KIND OF DOG. Picture more fields, a great horizon-spanning network of fields, rolling in gentle waves... DON'T ASK ME I DON'T KNOW. SOME KIND OF TERRIER, MAYBE. ...fields of corn, alive, whispering in the breeze... RIGHT, AND THE DEATH OF FLEAS CAN RIDE IT TOO. THAT WAY YOU KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. ...awaiting the clockwork of the seasons. METAPHORICALLY.

  Terry Pratchett

  Perro, Gato, Oscuro

• The problem of why God created the universe still troubles thinking men; but if we cannot know why, we can at least know that He did not bring His worlds into being to meet some unfulfilled need in Himself, as a man might build a house to shelter him against the winter cold or plant a field of corn to provide him with necessary food. The word 'necessary' is wholly foreign to God.

• Me encanta el sonido de las hojas de maíz al rasgarse. La violencia del ruido, el estallido sostenido y el apuntalamiento de los sedosos hilos orgánicos, me hicieron pensar en alguien rompiendo unos pantalones caros y potencialmente italianos en un arrebato de locura del que esa persona podría arrepentirse más tarde.

• Estados Unidos es adicto al petróleo... También debemos cambiar la forma en que alimentamos nuestros automóviles. Aumentaremos nuestra investigación en mejores baterías para coches híbridos y eléctricos y en coches no contaminantes que funcionen con hidrógeno. También financiaremos nuevas investigaciones sobre métodos vanguardistas de producción de etanol, no sólo a partir del maíz, sino también de astillas y tallos de madera o pasto.

• You download it for free, we get charged back for it.
  I know you're saying, "They won't know, they won't miss it,
  Besides, I ain't a thief, they won't pay me a visit."
  So, if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob,
  And take a couple kernels off it, that would be alright with you?

• Enero frío y desolador;
  Febrero empapado;
  en marzo el viento sopla;
  Cambios en abril;
  Los pájaros cantan afinados
  A las flores de mayo,
  Y el soleado junio
  Trae el día más largo;
  En julio abrasador
  Las nubes de tormenta vuelan,
  desgarradas por los relámpagos;
  Agosto da maíz,
  septiembre fruta;
  En octubre áspero
  La tierra debe desvestirse;
  Las estrellas caen y disparan
  En agudo noviembre;
  Y la noche es larga
  Y el frío es fuerte
  En el sombrío diciembre.

• Like sheaves of corn it gathers you unto itself. It threshes you to make you naked. It sifts you to free you from your husks. It grinds you to whiteness. It kneads you until you are pliant. And then it assigns you to its sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's Heart.

• Millions of American women, and some men, commit that outrage every summer day. They are turning a superb treat into mere provender. Shucked and boiled in water, sweet corn is edible and nutritious; roasted in the husk in the hottest possible oven for forty minutes, shucked at the table, and buttered and salted, nothing else, it is ambrosia. No chef’s ingenuity and imagination have ever created a finer dish. American women should themselves be boiled in water.
