Infancy Quotes - Page 10

• Siempre había sido consciente de que el Universo es triste; todo en él, animado o inanimado, las criaturas salvajes, las piedras, las estrellas, estaba envuelto en la gran tristeza, impregnado de ella. La existencia no tenía sentido. No tenía fin ni razón de ser. Las cosas más bellas, una flor o una canción, así como las más apremiantes, un deseo o un pensamiento, carecían de sentido. Una pena tan grande. Y supe que el único descanso de mi ansiedad -pues había estado temblando incluso en la infancia- residía en reconocer y absorber esta tristeza.

• The mass of people who are Bible-taught never get free from the erroneous impressions stamped on their minds in their infancy, so that their manhood or womanhood can have no intellectual fulfillment, and millions of them only attain mentally to a sort of second childhood

• Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. Manners are the archetypes of laws. Manners are laws in their infancy; laws are manners fully grown,--or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws.

• Flowers... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their coloring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children - honored as the jewelry of God only by them - when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.

• A person's life from infancy to old age is nothing else than an advance from the world towards heaven, the last stage of which is death; the actual transition from one life to the next.

• The hour arrives, the moment wish'd and fear'd,
  The child is born by many a pang endear'd
  And now the mother's ear has caught his cry;
  O grant the cherub to her asking eye!
  He comes--she clasps him. To her bosom press'd
  He drinks the balm of life, and drops to rest.

• Superstitious notions propagated in infancy are hardly ever totally eradicate, not even in minds grown strong enough to despise the like credulous folly in others.

• An adolescent does not rebel against her parents. She rebels against their power. If parents would rely less on power and more on nonpower methods to influence their children from infancy on, there would be little for children to rebel against when they become adolescents. The use of power to change the behavior of children, then, has this severe limitation: parents inevitably run out of power, and sooner than they think.

• Las sociedades científicas están aún en pañales. Es de esperar que los avances en fisiología y psicología den a los gobiernos mucho más control sobre la mentalidad individual del que ahora tienen incluso en los países totalitarios. Fitche estableció que la educación debería tener como objetivo la destrucción del libre albedrío, de modo que, una vez que los alumnos hayan abandonado la escuela, sean incapaces, durante el resto de sus vidas, de pensar o actuar de forma distinta a la deseada por sus maestros.

• Porque si permites que tu pueblo sea mal educado, y que sus modales sean corrompidos desde su infancia, y luego los castigas por aquellos crímenes a los que su primera educación los dispuso, ¿qué otra conclusión se puede sacar de esto, sino que primero haces ladrones y luego los castigas?

• Pero si en la búsqueda de los medios desgraciadamente tropezamos de nuevo con el papel moneda sin fondos o con cualquier otra especie similar de fraude, daremos sin duda una puñalada fatal a nuestro crédito nacional en su infancia. El papel moneda operará invariablemente en el cuerpo de la política como los licores espirituosos en el cuerpo humano. Actúan sobre los órganos vitales y acaban por destruirlos. El papel moneda ha tenido en su estado el efecto que siempre tendrá: arruinar el comercio, oprimir a los honestos y abrir la puerta a toda clase de fraudes e injusticias.

• If men can be made to understand that society, with its rigid codes and stratifications, is in its confused infancy rather than in the apex of its development; if they can be made to understand that the conflicts and contradictions of society can only be resolved by scientific long-range planning-then we will succeed in maintaining what civilization we have and drive onward to greater culture.

• At our theaters we only see feeble copies of the copies that have proceeded them, renounce that slavish routine which keeps your art in its infancy; examine everything relative to the development of talents; be original; form a style for yourselves based on your private studies; if you must copy, imitate nature, it is a noble model and never misleads those who follow it.

• En la sociedad occidental, y en particular en la estadounidense, la imaginación se estulticia desde la infancia. El niño imaginativo es desalentado y reprendido. Se le dice que es un mero sueño, que pierde el tiempo y no lleva a ninguna parte. Se dice que es "poco práctico". A medida que el niño crece y su imaginación le lleva inevitablemente a expresar ideas poco convencionales y a probar nuevos comportamientos, se le reprende e incluso se le castiga con saña por tales muestras de heterodoxia.

• If you pay attention to those aspects of God that demonstrate love, truth, beauty, intelligence, order, and spiritual evolution, those aspects will begin to expand in your life. Bit by bit, like a mosaic, disparate fragments of grace will merge to form a complete picture. Eventually this picture will replace the ore threatening one you have carried around inside you since infancy.

  Deepak Chopra

• A sense of belonging is a sine qua non of healthy psychological functioning everywhere. Such a sense, beginning in infancy and continuing throughout life, comes about by experiencing mutual empathy; by sensing oneself as part of a whole, which recognizes and accepts that one is a member.
