Indefinable Quotes - Page 2

• Mediados del verano... cuando la alquimia de la Naturaleza transmuta el paisaje silvestre en una vívida y casi homogénea masa verde; cuando los sentidos están casi intoxicados con los mares de verdor húmedo y los olores sutilmente indefinibles del suelo y la vegetación. En un entorno así, la mente pierde la perspectiva; el tiempo y el espacio se vuelven triviales e irreales, y los ecos de un pasado prehistórico olvidado golpean insistentemente la conciencia cautivada.

  H. P. Lovecraft

• ¿Qué es el valor? Déjeme decirle lo que yo creo que es. Una cualidad indefinible que hace que un hombre ponga ese algo extra, cuando parece que no hay nada más que dar. Te reto a ser mejor de lo que eres. Te reto a que seas un pura sangre.

• Hacer el amor joven... ¡esa telaraña de gasa! Incluso los puntos a los que se aferra, las cosas de las que penden sus sutiles entrelazamientos, son apenas perceptibles: roces momentáneos de las yemas de los dedos, encuentros de rayos de orbes azules y oscuros, frases inacabadas, ligeros cambios de mejillas y labios, débiles temblores. La red misma está hecha de creencias espontáneas y alegrías indefinibles, anhelos de una vida hacia otra, visiones de plenitud, confianza indefinida.

• Don't bother Me with promises. Vows are cheaply manufactured, come with no guarantees. Don't bother to say you love me. The word is indefinable. Joy to some, heartbreak to others, depending on circumstance. There is evidence that the emotion can make a person live longer, evidence it can kill you early. I think it's akin to a deadly disease. Or at least some exotic fever. Catch it, and you'd better, quick, swallow some medication to use as a weapon against the fire ravaging body and soul.

  Ellen Hopkins

• Obviously a garden is not the wilderness but an assembly of shapes, most of them living, that owes some share of its composition, it’s appearance, to human design and effort, human conventions and convenience, and the human pursuit of that elusive, indefinable harmony that we call beauty. It has a life of its own, an intricate, willful, secret life, as any gardener knows. It is only the humans in it who think of it as a garden. But a garden is a relationship, which is one of the countless reasons why it is never finished.

  W. S. Merwin

• In any society, order is the first need of all. Liberty and justice may be established only after order is tolerably secure. But the libertarians give primacy to an abstract liberty. Conservatives, knowing that "liberty inheres in some sensible object," are aware that true freedom can be found only within the framework of a social order, such as the constitutional order of these United States. In exalting an absolute and indefinable "liberty" at the expense of order, the libertarians imperil the very freedoms they praise.

• Este mismo corazón que es mío permanecerá siempre indefinible para mí. Entre la certeza que tengo de mi existencia y el contenido que intento dar a esa certeza, nunca se llenará el vacío. Para siempre seré un extraño para mí mismo.

• He found himself looking into many faces for potentional love, and seeing many people as shining vessels of possibility. Perhaps this time there would be that indefinable something that sent hungry hearts roving, longing and searching for something, they knew not what, and yet could not give up the quest.

• His [Ben Okri's] work poses very serious questions for the twenty-first century. Among them: To what extent will we allow the indefinable dynamics of something called "destiny" to maintain grief and horror in the world? How hard are human beings willing to fight to achieve and sustain justice, equanimity, or joy? And should progress be called such when it devours what is best within the human spirit?

• When the logician has resolved each demonstration into a host of elementary operations, all of them correct, he will not yet be in possession of the whole reality, that indefinable something that constitutes the unity ... Now pure logic cannot give us this view of the whole; it is to intuition that we must look for it.

  Henri Poincare

• I stare into a thin, web-like crack above the urinal's handle and think to myself that if I were to disappear into that crack, say somehow miniaturize and slip into it, the odds are good that no one would notice I was gone. No... one... would... care. In fact some, if they noticed my absence, might feel an odd, indefinable sense of relief. This is true: the world is better off with some people gone. Our lives are not all interconnected. That theory is crock. Some people truly do not need to be here.

  Bret Easton Ellis

• El amor, concluiría más tarde, era todo para todos. El amor rompía y curaba corazones. El amor era incomprensión, el amor era fe, el amor era la promesa del ahora que se convertía en esperanza para el futuro. El amor era un ritmo, una resonancia, una reverberación. El amor era torpe y tonto, era agresivo y sencillo y poseía tantas cualidades indefinibles que nunca podría transmitirse con el lenguaje. El amor era ser. La misma gravedad que tiraba implacablemente de mí fue desafiada cuando me elevé hacia algo que se convirtió en todo.

• I think it is really helpful to see the beauty in every situation. I guess it's being able to see it in unexpected places. If you're fed too much of an image of what beauty is then you might define it as a certain specific thing, but when you have your own idea of what it is, or your own feelings of what beauty is, then it becomes so wide and so indefinable.

• Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality. The summation of this indefinable net of your feeling, knowledge and experience. Take colour as a totality of relations within a framecolour is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
