Landlord Quotes - Page 3

• Ambos crecimos en un ambiente de lucha, tanto Ossie como yo, ... Yo salgo de Harlem y Harlem sale de mí: sirenas de policía ululantes y fiestas callejeras, rumores y caseros, ese ambiente cultural y espiritual. Y Ossie vino del Sur, donde la lucha y la muerte formaban parte de la vida cotidiana. Eso es lo que somos.

• El hombre trata a la mujer como si fuera de su propiedad y no como un ser capaz de tener sentimientos, como él mismo. La forma en que el hombre trata a la mujer es mucho peor que la forma en que los terratenientes tratan a los sirvientes y los de casta alta tratan a los de casta baja. Éstos las tratan de forma tan degradante sólo en situaciones que les afectan mutuamente; pero los hombres las tratan cruelmente y como esclavas, desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte.

• Pero Jude", decía, "tú me conocías. Todos esos días y años, Jude, me conocías. Mis maneras y mis manos y cómo se me doblaba el estómago y cómo intentábamos que Mickey mamara y qué me dices de aquella vez en que el casero dijo... pero tú dijiste... y yo lloré, Jude. Tú me conocías y habías escuchado las cosas que decía por la noche, y me oías en el baño y te reías de mi faja raída y yo también me reía porque también te conocía, Jude. ¿Cómo pudiste dejarme si me conocías?

• When the thing is finally sparked, the white man is not there - he's gone. The merchant is not there, the landlord is not there, the one they consider to be the enemy isn't there. So, they knock at his property. This is what makes them knock down the store windows and set fire to things, and things of that sort.

• Cada clase de la sociedad tiene su canto de lamento, que no es comprendido o considerado por nadie más que por ellos mismos; y cada parte de la vida tiene su malestar, que aquellos que no lo sienten no conmiserarán. Un acontecimiento que siembra la distracción en la mitad del mundo comercial, reúne a las compañías comerciales en consejos y comités, y sacude los nervios de un millar de almacenistas, es leído por el terrateniente y el granjero con frígida indiferencia.

• New York es una ciudad glamurosa, constituida en su mayoría por don nadies. Ansían las luces, y si te dicen lo contrario, mienten. Sólo los soñadores vienen a New York. Como es natural, poca gente tiene el control de su vida. Vives al capricho de tu jefe, tu casero, tu tendero, el desconocido, el juez, el conductor del autobús, el alcalde que no te deja fumar. En cambio, vives al albur de tus caprichos, y eso es lo más emocionante que hay.

• Speech, tennis, music, skiing, manners, love- you try them waking and perhaps balk at the jump, and then you're over. You've caught the rhythm of them once and for all, in your sleep at night. The city, of course, can wreck it. So much insomnia. So many rhythms collide. The salesgirl, the landlord, the guests, the bystanders, sixteen varieties of social circumstance in a day. Everyone has the power to call your whole life into question here. Too many people have access to your state of mind. Some people are indifferent to dislike, even relish it. Hardly anyone I know.

• In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me. People can't long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.
