Defiance Quotes - Page 6

• Aseguramos la paz para nuestro país durante un año y medio, así como la oportunidad de preparar nuestras fuerzas para la defensa si la Alemania fascista se arriesgaba a atacar nuestro país desafiando el pacto. Esto fue una ganancia definitiva para nuestro país y una pérdida para la Alemania fascista.

• The longer I live, the more I am certified that men, in all that relates to their own health, have not common sense! whether it be their pride, or their impatience, or their obstinancy, or their ingrained spirit of contradiction, that stupefies and misleads them, the result is always a certain amount of idiocy, or distraction in their dealings with their own bodies! ... either by their wild impatience of bodily suffering, and the exaggerated moan they make over it, or else by their reckless defiance of it, and neglect of every dictate of prudence!

• North Korea's sin is that it refuses to surrender, to fall on its knees, to sacrifice its people. It refuses to become a slave. For centuries, European and later US colonialism punished such defiance in the most brutal ways. Western culture is, after all, based and built on slavery. It demands absolute compliance, unconditional submission. If North Korea is attacked, it should fight back! And it will.

• If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.

• With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence. It was an old song, old as the breed itself--one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.

• I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance.

• The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake; the wind may blow though it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter; all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.

• La ciudad es más hermosa cuando empieza el dulce barullo de la muerte. Su propia vida vivida desafiando a la naturaleza, su electricidad, sus frigidaires, sus paredes insonorizadas, el brillo de las uñas lacadas, los penachos que ondean en el cielo ondulado. Aquí, en las profundidades del ataúd, crecen las flores eternas enviadas por telégrafo.

• Disfrutar de la vida y cambiar las cosas. Y quizá dando ejemplos de personas que consiguen cosas, que triunfan, que son proactivas y que son felices y afrontan sus propios destinos, en lugar de aceptar lo que el mundo les echa encima... ¡deberíamos luchar! No como las peleas callejeras, sino el pequeño acto de rebeldía de cada día.

• Merece la pena entregarse a la idea de seguir tu pasión. Tu pasión es tu fuente de energía. Para vivir una vida plena, hay que seguirla... desafiando quizá todo lo convencional. Y, por supuesto, tiene su precio. Tienes que saberlo desde el principio. Pero el precio que pagas, en mi opinión, no merece la pena ni pensarlo. Es muy importante no arrodillarse ante el mundo. Nunca debes inclinarte ante nada que no sean aquellos a los que amas y respetas. Nunca por nada.

• ¡Poderosa es la fuerza de la maternidad! Transforma todas las cosas con su calor vital; convierte la timidez en valor feroz, y el desafío temerario en sumisión trémula; convierte la irreflexión en previsión, y sin embargo apacigua toda ansiedad en tranquilo contento; hace que el egoísmo se convierta en abnegación, y da incluso a la dura vanidad la mirada del amor admirativo.

• The true religion, it is said, is service to mankind; but this service seems to take the form of securing for him an unconditional victory over nature. Now this attitude is impious, for, as has been noted, it violates the belief that creation or nature is fundamentally good, that the ultimate reason for its laws is a mystery, and that acts of defiance such as are daily celebrated by the newspapers are subversive of cosmos.

• ¿Qué debemos hacer? No deseamos interrumpir el trabajo del destructor de salvar vidas... Pero la guerra es la guerra y las personas que están siendo recogidas del agua son soldados con destino al frente; soldados que van a disparar a nuestros hermanos alemanes... La cuestión de si vamos a perecer en la desesperación o en el desafío, o si vamos a sobrevivir a todos los senderos con la conciencia viva, depende única y exclusivamente de si creemos en el perdón de los pecados. Este 25 de enero fue el punto de inflexión de mi vida, porque me abrió los ojos a la imposibilidad absoluta de un universo moral.
