Inaccessible Quotes - Page 3

• While the creative works from the 16th century can still be accessed and used by others, the data in some software programs from the 1990s is already inaccessible. Once a company that produces a certain product goes out of business, it has no simple way to uncover how its product encoded data. The code is thus lost, and the software is inaccessible. Knowledge has been destroyed.

• Mientras que una falsificación explota ilegalmente el gusto elitista por la rareza, un objeto kitsch insiste en su disponibilidad antielitista. El carácter engañoso del kitsch no reside en lo que pueda tener en común con la falsificación real, sino en su pretensión de suministrar a sus consumidores esencialmente los mismos tipos y cualidades de belleza que los encarnados en originales únicos o raros e inaccesibles.

• One could plausibly argue that it is for quite sound reasons that the whole capacity for sexual ecstasy is inaccessible to most people - given that sexuality is something, like nuclear energy, which may prove amenable to domestication through scruple, but then again may not.

• Con mímica, con alabanzas, con ecos o con respuestas, los poetas han superado a la campana. La inarticulada campana ha encontrado demasiadas interpretaciones, demasiadas rimas que pretenden acercarse a su inaccesible expresión y concordar con su remota lengua. La campana, como el pájaro, es un músico acosado por la literatura.

• A book consists of two layers: on top, the readable layer ... and underneath, a layer that was inaccessible. You only sense its existence in a moment of distraction from the literal reading, the way you see childhood through a child. It would take forever to tell what you see, and it would be pointless.

• No seas inaccesible. Nadie es tan perfecto como para no necesitar a veces el consejo de los demás. Es un imbécil incorregible que nunca escuchará a nadie. Incluso el intelecto más sobresaliente debe encontrar un lugar para el consejo amistoso. La soberanía misma debe aprender a apoyarse. Hay algunos que son incorregibles simplemente porque son inaccesibles: Caen en la ruina porque nadie se atreve a sacarlos. El más alto debe tener la puerta abierta para la amistad; puede resultar la puerta de la ayuda. Un amigo debe ser libre de aconsejar, e incluso de reprender, sin sentirse avergonzado.

• A mathematical problem should be difficult in order to entice us, yet not completely inaccessible, lest it mock at our efforts. It should be to us a guide post on the mazy paths to hidden truths, and ultimately a reminder of our pleasure in the successful solution.

• Consider what you have in the smallest well-chosen library-a company of the wisest and wittiest men which can be plucked out of all civilized countries in a thousand years. The men themselves were then hidden and inaccessible. They were solitary, impatient of interruption, and fenced by etiquette. But now they are immortal, and the thought they did not reveal, even to their bosom friends, is here written out in transparent words of light to us, who are strangers of another age.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

• A citizen at his home in Rockford, Illinois, or Boulder, Colorado, could read a newspaper, listen to a radio, or watch the round-the-clock coverage on television, but he had no way of connecting with those who shared his views. Nor was there a quick, readily available tool for an ordinary citizen to gather information on his own. In 1960, communication was a one-way street, and information was fundamentally inaccessible. The whole idea of summoning up data or reaching thousands of individuals with the touch of a finger was a science-fiction fantasy.

• Bajo el capitalismo, el hombre común disfruta de comodidades que en épocas pasadas eran desconocidas y, por tanto, inaccesibles incluso para los más ricos. Pero, por supuesto, estos coches, televisores y frigoríficos no hacen feliz al hombre. En el instante en que los adquiere, puede sentirse más feliz que antes. Pero en cuanto se satisfacen algunos de sus deseos, surgen otros nuevos. Así es la naturaleza humana.

  Ludwig von Mises
