Eros Quotes - Page 3

• Now Eros makes a man really want, not a woman, but one particular woman. In some mysterious but quite indisputable fashion the lover desires the Beloved herself, not the pleasure she can give.

  C. S. Lewis

• Las palabras que leemos y las que escribimos nunca dicen exactamente lo que queremos decir. Las personas que amamos nunca son tal y como las deseamos. Las dos simbólicas nunca coinciden a la perfección. Eros está en medio.

• Hecho de acumulaciones coralinas e incrementos dolorosos, iluminado en raras ocasiones por rayos de revelación, y luego metido detrás del arrimadero para andar a tientas en el polvo de ratón, el arte es el equivalente al pie de atleta, en el mejor de los casos un picor exquisito, en el peor una excusa para dejar de caminar. En el aspecto emocional, es o la masturbación con un guante de hockey o una noche bajo la luna deslizante que avergüenza a Eros.

• Los profesores rara vez hablamos del lugar del eros o de lo erótico en nuestras aulas. Formados en el contexto filosófico del dualismo metafísico occidental, muchos de nosotros hemos aceptado la noción de que existe una división entre el cuerpo y la mente. Creyendo esto, los individuos entran en el aula para enseñar como si sólo la mente estuviera presente, y no el cuerpo.

• Eros doomed! I doubt it...eros seems to drive most relationships, and not just those between lovers. Erotic energy is a big powerful force, it shakes things up, causes people to break the rules, makes people do crazy things! Reason doesn't stand a chance in its face.

• El concepto que realmente saca de quicio a los que odian a los homosexuales, la idea que realmente les hace girar el melón y les revuelve el estómago, es la más terrible y aterradora de todas las nociones humanas: el amor. Que uno pueda amar a otro de su mismo sexo, eso es lo que el homófobo realmente no puede soportar. El amor en los ocho tonos y los cinco semitonos de la octava completa del mundo. El amor como Ágape, Eros y Philos; el amor como enamoramiento, obsesión y lujuria; el amor como tortura, euforia, éxtasis y olvido (esto empieza a parecer un catálogo de perfumes de Calvin Klein); el amor como necesidad, pasión y deseo.

  Stephen Fry

• In mauve sea-orchids as in her striking earlier book Guardians of the Secret, Lila Zemborain brings into relationship the viscera of the body and the spill of the universe in tense compositions that blur distinctions between lyric and prose poetry, between science and eros.

• Attempts to tame the wayward and domesticate the riotous, to make the unknowable predictable and enchain the free-roaming - all such things sound the death knell to love. Eros won't outlast duality. As far as love is concerned, possession, power, fusion and disenchantment are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

• No one should forget: Eros alone can fulfill life; knowledge, never. Only Eros makes sense; knowledge is empty infinity; – for thoughts, there is always time; life has its time; there is no thought that comes too late; any desire can become a regret.

• For me, spirit is the impulse towards life, the Eros in a person leaping forward, whereas soul refers to something possibly long.. suffering, where meanings are made, where there is a sense of this gathering of perceptions, that our death is not the most important thing, nor our life.

• Lo daimónico es cualquier función natural que tiene el poder de apoderarse de toda la persona. El sexo y el eros, la ira y la rabia, y el ansia de poder son algunos ejemplos. Lo daimónico puede ser creativo o destructivo, y normalmente es ambas cosas.

• Friendship is by its very nature freer of deceit than any other relationship we can know because it is the bond least affected by striving for power, physical pleasure, or material profit, most liberated from any oath of duty or of constancy. With Eros the body stands naked, in friendship our spirit is denuded.

• Just because a thing can't be done doesn't mean it can't be did. We all look into mirrors and see phantoms. Our error is our Eros. Why is there something instead of nothing? The answer is reckless and surreal.

• Gods, I wish the world was full of passive women.He thougt for a moment longer, then scowled. On second thoughts, what a nightmare that'd be. It's the job of a man to fan the spark into flames, not quench it.

• Novels institutionalize the ruse of eros. It becomes a narrative texture of sustained incongruence, emotional and cognitive. It permits the reader to stand in triangular relation to the characters in the story and reach into the text after the objects of their desire, sharing their longing but also detached from it, seeing their view of reality but also its mistakenness. It is almost like being in love.

• ¿Cuáles son las fuentes de la poesía? El amor y la muerte y la paradoja del amor y la muerte. Desde el principio, toda la poesía gira en torno a Eros y Thanatos. Esos son los únicos temas. Y cómo Eros y Tánatos se entrelazan.
