Left Alone Quotes - Page 3

• I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me.

  Albert Einstein

• La risa en la televisión estadounidense ha ocupado el lugar del coro en la tragedia griega. En otros países, la risa se deja en manos de los espectadores. Aquí, sus risas aparecen en la pantalla, integradas en el espectáculo. Es la pantalla la que ríe y se divierte. A usted simplemente le dejan solo con su consternación.

• Smith, as we have said, was not the proponent of any one class. He was a slave to his system. His whole economic philosophy stemmed from his unquestioning faith in the ability of the market to guide the system to its point of highest return. The market — that wonderful social machine — would take care of society's needs if it was left alone. "Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production," he wrote.

• If I could blame it on all the mothers and fathers of the world, they of the lessons, the pellets of power, they of the love surrounding you like batter ... Blame it on God perhaps? He of the first opening that pushed us all into our first mistakes? No, I'll blame it on Man For Man is God and man is eating the earth up like a candy bar and not one of them can be left alone with the ocean for it is known he will gulp it all down. The stars (possibly) are safe. At least for the moment. The stars are pears that no one can reach, even for a wedding. Perhaps for a death.

• Life ain't fair. It ain't. Not never. It's pointless and stupid and there's only suffering and pain and people who want to hurt you. You can't love nothing or no one cuz it'll all be taken away or ruined and you'll be left alone and constantly having to fight, constantly having to run just to stay alive.

• To the newcomer to the south, hearing that a coworker plans a weekend visit to 'mama and them's' (the correct plural possessive, don'tchaknow), might make him think that mama has been left alone either throught an act of scoundreldom involving the town's resident hoochie-mama (an altogether different kind of mama) or Daddy's untimely demise.

• Mucho tiempo atrás, cuando Harry se había quedado solo mientras los Dursley salían a divertirse, las horas de soledad habían sido un raro placer: Sólo se detenía para coger algo sabroso de la nevera y subía corriendo a jugar con el ordenador de Dudley, o ponía la televisión y miraba los canales a su antojo. Recordar aquellos tiempos le producía una extraña sensación de vacío; era como recordar a un hermano pequeño al que había perdido.

• Rara vez siento el deseo de releer una escena la víspera del rodaje. A veces llego al lugar donde se va a realizar el trabajo y ni siquiera sé lo que voy a rodar. Este es el sistema que prefiero: llegar al momento en que va a comenzar el rodaje, absolutamente desprevenido, virgen. A menudo pido que me dejen solo en el lugar durante quince minutos o media hora y dejo que mis pensamientos vaguen libremente.

• I'm not very good at relaxing. Reading's the main thing. On the bus, on the tube, on the loo. Literally all the time. I mean, I don't think there's a moment of the day when I wouldn't be if I was left alone.

• She had said she didn't feel fear, but it was a lie; this was her fear: being left alone. Because of one thing she was certain, and it was that she could never love, not like that. Trust a stranger with her flesh? The closeness, the quiet. She couldn't imagine it. Breathing someone else's breath as they breathed yours, touching someone, opening for them? The vulnerability of it made her flush. It would mean submission, letting down her guard, and she wouldn't. Ever. Just the thought made her feel small and weak as a child.

• All I wanted was to be left alone. They abhor a vacuum, other people. You find a quiet corner where you can hunker down in peace, and the next minute there they are, crowding around you in their party hats, tooting their paper whistles in your face and insisting you get up and join in the knees-up.

• Organizations should be built and managers should be functioning so people can be naturally empowered. If someone's doing their job, if someone's working in one of your warehouses, say, they should know their job better than anybody. They don't need to be 'empowered,' but encouraged and left alone to be able to do what they know best.
