Insulation Quotes

• Aprovechar mejor el espacio, mejorar el aislamiento, conseguir que entre más luz natural en los edificios, reducir el consumo de energía de los sistemas de aire acondicionado y calefacción, asegurarnos de que la calidad del aire interior sea buena, que tengamos más oportunidades de ventilación natural en las estaciones intermedias. Estas son algunas de las cosas que podemos hacer.

• Me embarga un temor permanente ante lo que estos dos instrumentos están haciendo con nuestra sociedad, nuestra cultura y nuestro patrimonio. Nuestra historia será lo que nosotros hagamos de ella.

• La anoréxica es el fusible desnudo expuesto al poder directo de los medios de comunicación modernos, una psique cuyo cableado carece de aislamiento. El anoréxico es un análogo del ideólogo, que está igualmente desprovisto de sentido común, ego independiente, cultura, inteligencia intuitiva, etc.: todo lo que el ideólogo tiene para orientarse son las directrices formalistas o abstractivistas incrustadas en la moderna cultura de masas. Ambos son formas del Verdadero Creyente, mentes en las que los factores de la vida autoactiva se reducen a la insignificancia y reina el patetismo.

• But we must also look at renewable heat technology. More combined heat and power schemes, putting waste heat to better use. More district heating schemes. And more electric air and ground-source heat pumps, drawing warmth from the outside world to heat the indoors. Better insulation, smarter homes, and more efficient heating can help us cut our energy demand.

That’s why wizards usually use words to help them with their spells. Words provide a sort of insulation as the energy of magic burns through a spell caster’s mind.

• To be brutally honest, for much of that time, I was the only person in the world with Parkinson's. Of course, I mean that in the abstract. I had become acutely aware of people around me who appears to have the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but as long as they didn't identify with me, I was in no rush to identify with them. My situation allowed, if not complete denial, at least a thick padding of insulation.
