Facade Quotes - Page 3

• I'm not trying to imply I can keep up this silent, isolated facade all the time. Sometimes the wall I've erected around me comes crumbling down. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes, before I even realize what's going on, there I am--naked and defenseless and totally confused. At times like that I always feel an omen calling out to me, like a dark, omnipresent pool of water. ~page 10

  Haruki Murakami

  Wall, Confused, Dark

• The fact that God accepts us should be our motivation for accepting ourselves. If we cannot accept ourselves the way we are, with our limitations and assets, weaknesses as well as strengths, shortcomings as well as abilities; then we cannot trust anyone else to accept us the way we are. We will always be putting on a front, building a facade around ourselves, never letting people know what we are really like deep down inside.

• This morning, as Charlotte approached the brick facade of Hartnett, she found herself overcome with a great sense of dread. It hit her with a strange and sudden force, and she had an overwhelming urge to turn back, get into bed and not go out for about three weeks. She stopped in her tracks. The feeling itself was alarming to Charlotte - was she sensing something? Something dangerous? And was it something supernatural or just middle school? Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference.

• How baffling it was that even the most cunning and clever people would frequently see only what they wanted to see, and would rarely look beyond the thinnest of facades. Or they would ignore reality, dismissing it as the facade. And then, when their whole world fell to pieces...they would tear their topknots or rend their clothes and bewail their karma, blaming gods or kami or luck or their lords or husbands or vassals-anything or anyone-but never themselves.

• Uno de mis grandes recuerdos de John es de cuando discutíamos. Yo no estaba de acuerdo y nos estábamos insultando. Dejamos que se calmara por un segundo y luego se bajó las gafas y dijo: "Sólo soy yo." Y luego se volvió a poner las gafas. Para mí, ese era John. Esos fueron los momentos en los que realmente le vi sin la fachada, la armadura, que también me encantaba, como a cualquiera. Era una hermosa armadura. Pero era maravilloso cuando se bajaba la visera y veías la John Lennon que tenía miedo de revelar al mundo.

• Debajo de nuestras fachadas amables y simpáticas hay un gran malestar. Si rascara bajo la superficie de cualquiera encontraría miedo, dolor y ansiedad desbocados. Todos tenemos formas de ocultarlos. Comemos, bebemos y trabajamos en exceso; vemos demasiada televisión.

• Fascism is the result of the collapse of Europe's spiritual and social order... catastrophes broke through the everyday routine which makes men accept existing forms, institutions and tenets as unalterable natural laws. They suddenly exposed the vacuum behind the facade of society.

• In portrait photography there is something more profound that we seek inside a person, while being painfully aware that a limitation of our medium is that the inside is recordable only insofar as it is apparent on the outside...Very often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.

  Irving Penn

• The death agony of the barricade was about to begin.For, since the preceding evening, the two rows of houses in the Rue de la Chanvrerie had become two walls; ferocious walls, doors closed, windows closed, shutters closed. A house is an escarpment, a door is a refusal, a facade is a wall. This wall hears, sees and will not. It might open and save you. No. This wall is a judge. It gazes at you and condemns you. What dismal things are closed houses.

  Victor Hugo

• No siento el mismo romanticismo que sentiría, por ejemplo, con el jazz. E incluso en menor medida con el rock and roll. El rock and roll tiene algo de romántico, ¿cómo decirlo? Un romanticismo muy vulgar, pero romanticismo al fin y al cabo; mientras que el hip hop tiene más fachada.

• Once you have the View, although the delusory perceptions of samsara may arise in your mind, you will be like the sky; when a rainbow appears in front of it, it’s not particularly flattered, and when the clouds appear, it’s not particularly disappointed either. There is a deep sense of contentment. You chuckle from inside as you see the facade of samsara and nirvana; the View will keep you constantly amused, with a little inner smile bubbling away all the time.

• All buildings, large or small, public or private, have a public face, a facade; they therefore, without exception, have a positive or negative effect on the quality of the public realm, enriching or impoverishing it in a lasting and radical manner. The architecture of the city and public space is a matter of common concern to the same degree as laws and language—they are the foundation of civility and civilisation.
