Intervals Quotes - Page 8

• Since childhood, I was afflicted with a sick hypersensitivity, and my imagination quickly turned everything into a memory, too quickly: sometimes one day was enough, or an interval of a few hours, or a routine change of place, for an everyday event with a lyrical value that I did not sense at the time, to become suddenly adorned with a radiant echo, the echo ordinarily reserved only for those memories which have been standing for many years in the powerful fixative of lyrical oblivion.

• Nuestra ley federal del impuesto sobre la renta define el impuesto y a pagar en función de la renta x; lo hace de forma bastante torpe, pegando varias funciones lineales, cada una válida en otro intervalo o tramo de renta. Un arqueólogo que, dentro de cinco mil años, desentierre algunas de nuestras declaraciones de la renta junto con reliquias de obras de ingeniería y libros de matemáticas, probablemente las datará un par de siglos antes, sin duda antes que Galileo y Vieta.

• A painting is an object which has an emphatic frontal surface. On such a surface, I paint a black band which does not recede, a color band which does not obtrude, a white square or rectangle which does not move back or forth, to or fro, or up or down; there is also a painted white exterior frame band which is edged round the edge to the black. Every part is painted and contiguous to its neighbor; no part is above or below any other part. There is no hierarchy. There is no ambiguity. There is no illusion. There is no space or interval (time).

• No estoy estrictamente loco, pues mi mente es absolutamente normal en los intervalos, e incluso más que antes. Pero durante los ataques es terrible, y entonces pierdo la conciencia de todo. Pero eso me estimula a trabajar y a ser serio, como un minero que siempre está en peligro se apresura en lo que hace.

• Light and the rational forms are locked in combat; light sets them into motion, bends what is straight, makes parallels oval, inscribes circles in the intervals, makes the intervals active.

• No me he aburrido ni una hora en toda mi vida. Me levanto todas las mañanas preguntándome qué nueva cosa extraña y glamurosa va a ocurrir, y ocurre a intervalos bastante regulares. La suerte ha sido buena conmigo y creo que lo ha sido con todo el mundo. Sólo algunas personas son adustas, y cuando ella les hace el "ven aquí" con la mirada, bajan la vista o se dan la vuelta y levantan una ceja. Pero yo le guiño el ojo y nos vamos.

• For language to have meaning, there must be intervals of silence somewhere, to divide word from word and utterance from utterance. He who retires into silence does not necessarily hate language. Perhaps it is love and respect for language which imposes silence upon him. For the mercy of God is not heard in words unless it is heard, both before and after the words are spoken, in silence.

• No puedo evitar dar aquí mi más decidido sufragio en favor de las cualidades morales de los maníacos. No he conocido, salvo en los romances, maridos más cariñosos, padres más afectuosos, más apasionados... que en el manicomio, durante sus intervalos de calma y razón.

• Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.

• I stood within the city disinterred;
  And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls
  Of spirits passng through the streets;
  and heard the Mountain's slumberous voice at intervals
  Thrill through those roofless halls;
  The oracular thunder penetrating shook
  The listening soul in my suspended blood.

• No one is able to produce a great work of art without experience, nor achieve a worldly position immediately, nor be a great lover at the first attempt; and in the interval between initial failure and subsequent success, in the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation. We suffer because we cannot spontaneously master the ingredients of fulfillment.

• The mastery of one's phonemes may be compared to the violinist's mastery of fingering. The violin string lends itself to a continuous gradation of tones, but the musician learns the discrete intervals at which to stop the string in order to play the conventional notes. We sound our phonemes like poor violinists, approximating each time to a fancied norm, and we receive our neighbor's renderings indulgently, mentally rectifying the more glaring inaccuracies.

• Leisure, the highest happiness upon earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction, except in solitude. Indolence and indifference do not always afford leisure; for true leisure is frequently found in that interval of relaxation which divides a painful duty from an agreeable recreation; a toilsome business from the more agreeable occupations of literature and philosophy.

• We say that every man is entitled to be valued by his best moment. We measure our friends so. We know, they have intervals of folly, whereof we take no heed, but wait the reappearings of the genius, which are sure and beautiful.

• Puede demostrarse que el contacto del niño con el mundo real se ve reforzado por sus excursiones periódicas a la fantasía. Resulta más fácil tolerar las frustraciones del mundo real y acceder a las exigencias de la realidad si uno puede restablecerse a intervalos en un mundo donde los deseos más profundos pueden alcanzar una gratificación imaginaria.

• Especially on Broadway, composers and lyricists fretted over their creations, obsessed over every rhyme, every critical chord or interval. The stakes were so high. On Broadway, people were watching and judging, especially newspaper critics who knew a thousand ways to slice and dice a songwriter for the entertainment of hundreds of thousands of faithful readers. There was no anonymity for the Broadway songwriter. Even the best could find themselves stripped naked the morning after by the tastemakers and their readers.

• During the present interval between the feudal age and the coming time, when life and its occupations will be freely thrown open to women as to men, the condition of the female working classes is such that if its sufferings were but made known, emotions of horror and shame would tremble through the whole of society.
