Eruption Quotes - Page 2

• A problem that I have with everything fictional is that writers are always having to come up with sudden artillery explosions in the middle of whatever is going on. The characters are having interesting, subtle interactions, or jealousies, or whatever it is, and suddenly some gigantic angry eruption has to happen, a giant gasp where everyone has to scramble around. That's the point where I'm turned off. I want the dynamic range to be a little smaller. I don't like the big false bangs.

• I think the brain is a dynamic system in which some parts control or suppress other parts. And if perhaps one has damage in one of the controlling or suppressing areas, then you may have the emergence or eruption of something, whether it is a seizure, a criminal trait - - or even a sudden musical passion.

• I had acne late, in college. My skin used to be really flawless. Went to college, became a vegetarian, ate a lot of cheese - big mistake. Here I am trying to be healthy and I'm eating grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries every day, having mad eruptions all over my face.

• Tenemos que llegar a los millones de habitantes de las ciudades, a los cientos de miles de los centros industriales, a las decenas de miles de las ciudades medianas, a los miles de las ciudades pequeñas y a los cientos de los pueblos, a todos a la vez. Como una erupción volcánica, una revolución espiritual debe extenderse por todo el país, para espolear a la gente a tomar decisiones cruciales. La gente tiene que reconocer la inutilidad de dividir la vida en política, economía, humanidades y religión. Debemos despertar a una vida en la que todas estas cosas estén completamente integradas.

• ¿Son estos combustibles siempre y necesariamente el resultado de la descomposición de una sustancia orgánica preexistente? ¿Es así con los hidrocarburos tan frecuentemente observados en las erupciones y emanaciones volcánicas, y sobre los cuales M. Ch. Sainte-Claire Deville ha llamado la atención estos últimos años? Por último, ¿hay que atribuir un origen paralelo a las materias carbonosas y a los hidrocarburos contenidos en ciertos meteoritos y que parecen tener un origen extraño a nuestro planeta? Se trata de cuestiones sobre las que la opinión de numerosos geólogos de renombre no parece aún fija.

• Thinking, not for the first time, that life should come with a trapdoor. Just a little exit hatch you could disappear through when you´d utterly and completely mortified yourself. Or when you had spontaneous zit eruptions. “Good book?” he asked, taking it from her and reading the subtitle, “A Guide for Good Girls Who (Sometimes) Want to Be Bad,” out loud. But life did not come with a trapdoor.

• I was devastated. I'm still devastated to this day. When talent like that disappears in a flash, you can't believe it. You deny it. Max Roach, who, of course, played with him on all those EmArcy recordings, held a concert in Baltimore for Clifford long after Clifford died. Max was still disbelieving so many years later. The concert was supposed to bring closure. But Max was so outrageously emotional that day. He had quite a few eruptions and was very emotional about what had happened so many years earlier. Like everyone, he remained disbelieving.

• There will be a shifting of the poles. There will be upheavals in the Arctic and the Antarctic that will make fotr the eruption of volcanos in the Torrid areas... The upper portion of Europe will be changed in the blink of an eye. The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea.

• Los adolescentes se aburren. De todo. Muéstrale a un adolescente una erupción volcánica real, en progreso, con gigantescas nubes de humo, rocas calientes lloviendo del cielo, témpanos de lava destruyendo pueblos enteros, etc., y el adolescente, con las cejas arqueadas por el sarcasmo, te mirará y dirá: "Vaya, esto es genial", y luego volverá al coche de alquiler, encenderá su reproductor de CD portátil y escuchará un grupo llamado Stomach Contents.

• A lo largo del primer periodo cristiano, todas las grandes calamidades -hambrunas, terremotos y plagas- provocaron conversiones masivas, otra influencia indirecta por la que las enfermedades epidémicas contribuyeron a la destrucción de la civilización clásica. El cristianismo tiene una deuda formidable con la peste bubónica y la viruela, no menos que con los terremotos y las erupciones volcánicas.

• Elsewhere the world may be blustering or sleeping, wars are fought, people live and die, some nations disintegrate, while others are born, soon to be swallowed up in turn - and in all this sound and fury, amidst eruptions and undertows, while the world goes its merry way, bursts into flames, tears itself apart and is reborn: human life continues to throb.

• Si la pregunta es cuál es la mejor manera de formar empresarios que puedan tener éxito en la era posterior a la Gran Recesión, entonces creo que los programas de MBA y su conexión con las grandes empresas permanecen intactos, pero no es el camino hacia una vida "brillante en los negocios". Es un camino hacia una existencia de clase media marcada por grandes tramos de seguridad y comodidad con erupciones ocasionales que probablemente no estés preparado para manejar. ¿Parezco demasiado cínico?

• For example, because I'm a lapsed geologist, I followed the eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 in great detail, amassing a huge number of links to news articles, blog posts, scientific papers, web cams, video and photos. That archive came to the attention of Chatham House, and they then commissioned me to research the way in which the media responded to the ash cloud crisis. I think that's the only time that my degree and my career have fully intersected, and it really was a lovely moment!

• One may decide that the nipple most nearly resembles a newly ripened raspberry (never, be it noted, the plonk of water on a pond at the commencement of a drizzle, a simple bladder nozzle built on the suction principal gum bubble, mole, or birth ward, bumpy metal button, or the painful red eruption of a swelling), but does one care to see his breakfast fruit as a sweetened milky bowl of snipped nips? no.

• Think about Elizabethan English, where the entire English language behaved pretty much like molten lava, like a volcano in mid-eruption. Modern Hebrew has some things in common with Elizabethan English. It is being reshaped and it's expanding very rapidly in various directions.
