Indirect Quotes - Page 6

• Nada amenaza tanto la libertad de la personalidad y el sentido de la vida como la guerra, la pobreza, el terror. Pero también hay peligros indirectos y sólo un poco más remotos. Uno de ellos es el embrutecimiento del hombre (la "masa gris", por utilizar el cínico término de los pronosticadores burgueses) por la cultura de masas, con su intencionada o comercialmente motivada rebaja del nivel intelectual y del contenido, con su énfasis en el entretenimiento o el utilitarismo, y con su censura cuidadosamente protectora.

  Andrei Sájarov

  Estrés, Guerra, Hombres

  "Progress, Coexistence and Intellectual Freedom" by Andrei Sakharov, ("The Threat to Intellectual Freedom"), www.sakharov-center.ru. 1968.

• El béisbol es una vuelta a casa. Es un viaje mediante el robo y la fuerza, la astucia y la velocidad, alrededor de la primera isla hasta la isla lejana de la segunda, donde los enemigos acechan en los arrecifes y el mar verde de repente se hace más profundo, para luego girar bruscamente, rozando los bajíos, hacia una orilla que mostrará una cara amiga, un color, un idioma familiar y, en la tercera, proceder, ya no por caminos indirectos sino rectos, hacia casa.

• Some international relations scholars would posit that interest in zombies is an indirect attempt to get a cognitive grip on what U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld famously referred to as the "unknown knowns" in international security. Perhaps, however, there also exists a genuine but publicly unacknowledged fear of the dead rising from the grave and feasting upon the entrails of the living.

  Daniel Drezner

• Most people are passive aggressive in this world. I have the idea that the human being is born with a kind of reservoir of aggression. We are inherently somewhat aggressive creatures and we either channel that in direct ways or we channel it in indirect ways and become passive aggressive.

• La institución del gobierno representativo nos parece una parte esencial de la democracia, pero los antiguos nunca pensaron en ella. Su inmenso mérito consistió en permitir que una gran circunscripción ejerciera un poder indirecto, y así hizo posible la distribución de la responsabilidad política en los grandes Estados de los tiempos modernos.

• If the US government spends 40 percent of the nation's income, as it does through either borrowing or taxes, that income is not available for people to spend. The deficit is an indirect method of taxation. Of course, politicians prefer to borrow instead of tax because then someone down the road has to deal with the consequences.

• A fact is a proposition of which the verification by an appeal to the primary sources of our knowledge or to experience is directand simple.

• The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.

• The bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist also looks beyond. The bad economist sees only the direct consequences of a proposed course; the good economist looks also at the longer and indirect consequences. The bad economists sees only what the effect of a given policy has been or will be on one particular group; the good economist inquires also what the effect of the policy will be on all groups

• The fisherman has a harmless, preoccupied look; he is a kind of vagrant, that nothing fears. He blends himself with the trees and the shadows. All his approaches are gentle and indirect. He times himself to the meandering, soliloquizing stream; he addresses himself to it as a lover to his mistress; he woos it and stays with it till he knows its hidden secrets. Where it deepens his purpose deepens; where it is shallow he is indifferent. He knows how to interpret its every glance and dimple; its beauty haunts him for days.

• Una cosa hay que afirmar con rotundidad. Los libros del Nuevo Testamento no adquirieron autoridad para la Iglesia por haber sido incluidos formalmente en una lista canónica; al contrario, la Iglesia los incluyó en su canon porque ya los consideraba divinamente inspirados, reconociendo su valor innato y su autoridad generalmente apostólica, directa o indirecta.
