Friction Quotes - Page 5

• En un buen día, veo el trabajo [de presidente] como el de dirigir una orquesta. En los días oscuros, se parece más al de un embrague, que acciona el motor para que avance, aunque con mayor fricción.

• El amor es la esencia misma de la vida. Es la olla de oro al final del arco iris. Pero es más que el final del arco iris. El amor es la seguridad por la que lloran los niños, el anhelo de la juventud, el adhesivo que une el matrimonio y el lubricante que evita fricciones devastadoras en el hogar; es la paz de la vejez, la luz del sol de la esperanza que brilla a través de la muerte.

• It is simple to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and private gain. It is more comfortable to sit content in the easy approval of friends and of neighbours than to risk the friction and the controversy that comes with public affairs. It is easier to fall in step with the slogans of others than to march to the beat of the internal drummer - to make and stand on judgements of your own. And it far easier to accept and to stand on the past, than to fight for the answers of the future

  Daniel Webster

• ¿Qué tiene el fuego que es tan encantador? No importa la edad que tengamos, ¿qué es lo que nos atrae de él?... Lo que el hombre quiso inventar, pero nunca lo hizo... Si lo dejaras seguir, quemaría nuestras vidas. ¿Qué es el fuego? Es un misterio. Los científicos nos hablan de fricción y moléculas. Pero en realidad no lo saben. Su verdadera belleza es que destruye la responsabilidad y las consecuencias.

  Ray Bradbury

• The fire you rubbed left its brand on the most vulnerable, most vicious and tender point of my body. Now I have to pay for your rasping the red rash too strongly, too soon, as charred wood has to pay for burning. When I remain without your caresses, I lose all control of my nerves, nothing exists any more than the ecstasy of friction, the abiding effect of your sting, of your delicious poison.

• I tensed, waiting for the fury - both his and mine - but it was only quiet and calm in the darkness of his room. I could almost taste the sweetness of reunion in the air, a separate fragrance from the perfume of his breath; the emptiness when we were apart left its own bitter aftertaste, something I didn't consciously notice until it was removed. There was no friction in the space between us. The stillness was peaceful - not like the calm before the tempest, but like a clear night untouched by even the dream of a storm.

• This time of year, I live and breathe the beach. My cheeks feel raw with the wind throwing sand against them. My thighs sting from the friction of the saddle. My arms ache from holding up two thousand pounds of horse. I have forgotten what it is like to be warm and what a full night’s sleep feels like and what my name sounds like spoken instead of shouted across yards of sand. I am so, so alive.

• If the regular length of a shot is increased, one becomes bored, but if you keep on making it longer, a new quality emerges, a special intensity of attention.' At first there can be a friction between our expectations of time and Tarkovsky-time and this friction is increasing in the twenty-first century as we move further and further away from Tarkovsky-time towards moron-time in which nothing can last—and no one can concentrate on anything—for longer than about two seconds.

• Modern capitalism needs men who cooperate smoothly and in large numbers; who want to consume more and more; and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and anticipated. It needs men who feel free and independent, not subject to any authority or principle or conscience-- yet willing to be commanded, to do what is expected of them, to fit into the social machine without friction; who can be guided without force, led without leaders, prompted without aim-- except the one to make good, to be on the move, to function, to go ahead.

  Erich Fromm

• Estaba leyendo que el rayo es una carga negativa que proviene de la fricción que llevan las nubes. Y como los opuestos se atraen, me gustaría pensar que era tan positivo en el momento en que murió, tan feliz, que sacó ese rayo directamente del cielo. No sé si eso es posible, pero es lo que creo.

• Es muy difícil escribir sobre lo que siempre es bello, agradable y bueno. No se llega a ninguna parte con ello. No hay fricción en ello. No hay problemas. Tienes que tener problemas. Alguien tiene que tener problemas, o nadie quiere leerlo.

• Writer's block is a natural affliction. Writers who have never experienced it have something wrong with them. It means there isn't enough friction-that they aren't making enough of an effort to reconcile the contradictions of life. All you get is sweet monotonous flow. Writer's block is nothing to commit suicide over. It simply indicates some imbalance between your experience and your art, and I think that's constructive.

• I think LPGA players for a long time were afraid to say what's on their minds. But we're doing all the right things and there's nothing wrong with having some great personalities and rivalries and some friction. I think that's really good for the sport.

• El ojo puede recorrer la superficie de forma paralela a como se desplaza por la naturaleza. Debe sentirse acariciado y calmado, experimentar roces y rupturas, deslizarse y derivar. En un momento no habrá nada que mirar y al segundo siguiente el lienzo parecerá rellenarse, llenarse de acontecimientos visuales.

• Page 61: No matter where I go in the world, although I can't speak any foreign language, I don't feel out of place. I think of earth as my home. If everyone thought this way, people might notice just how foolish international friction is and the would be put an end to it.

• Todo el negocio empieza con ideas, y estamos convencidos de que las ideas surgen en un entorno de conflicto solidario, que es sinónimo de fricción adecuada.

• Whether they really believe in their brave new world, however, is ultimately beside the point. They're building it. And in the friction-free future, jacked into paradise, we'll have the 'liberty' of living (or rather, or buying the illusion of living), through the benevolent offices of a middleman as nearly omnipotent as god himself. Freedom? A more perfect captivity is difficult to imagine.

• La imaginación debe primero llenarse hasta la saturación de vida de todo tipo antes de que llegue el momento en que la fricción de la libre sociabilidad la electrice hasta tal punto que el más suave estímulo de contacto amistoso u hostil provoque en ella chispas de relámpago, destellos luminosos o golpes demoledores.

• Change is the law of life and of relations between nations. When two great peoples such as ours, energetic and optimistic, live side by side in all the diversity that freedom offers, change is rapid and brings in its wake problems, sometimes frictions.

• Mentir aumenta las facultades creativas, expande el ego, disminuye la fricción de los contactos sociales. . . . Sólo en la mentira, dicha de todo corazón y con valentía, alcanza la naturaleza humana, a través de la palabra y el discurso, la templanza, la nobleza, el romanticismo, el idealismo, que -siendo lo que es- no alcanza ni de hecho ni de obra.
