Liquid Quotes - Page 9

• Estoy convencido de que una falta de respeto controlada por la autoridad es esencial para un científico. Todos los buenos físicos experimentales que he conocido han tenido una intensa curiosidad que ninguna señal de No pasar podría acallar. Por supuesto, los físicos muestran un sano respeto por las señales de Alto Voltaje, Radiación e Hidrógeno Líquido. No son imprudentes. Sólo conozco a seis que hayan muerto en el trabajo.

• Remember, life is always uncertain. Everything dead is certain, life is always uncertain. Everything dead is solid, fixed - its nature cannot be changed; everything alive is moving, changing - a flow, a liquid thing, flexible, able to move in any direction. The more you become certain, the more you will miss life. And those who know, know life is God. If you miss life, you miss God.

• ¿Lo estás?" "¿Qué?" "¿Venenenoso?" Otra sonrisa salvaje. Tocó la punta de un colmillo con la lengua y cuando la retiró, ella vio una perla de líquido dorado. "Pruébame y verás". "Tal vez más tarde, después de haber sobrevivido a Michaela.

• En sus ojos brillaba el reflejo del planeta más bello del Universo: un planeta que no es ni demasiado caliente ni demasiado frío, que tiene agua líquida en la superficie y donde la gravedad es la adecuada para los seres humanos y la atmósfera es perfecta para que respiren; donde hay montañas y desiertos y océanos e islas y bosques y árboles y pájaros y plantas y animales e insectos y gente: mucha, mucha gente. Donde hay vida. Alguna de ella, posiblemente, inteligente.

• The patterns are simple, but followed together, they make for a whole that is wiser than the sum of its parts. Go for a walk; cultivate hunches; write everything down, but keep your folders messy; embrace serendipity; make generative mistakes; take on multiple hobbies; frequent coffeehouses and other liquid networks; follow the links; let others build on your ideas; borrow, recycle; reinvent. Build a tangled bank.

• On the way out to the car, Philip turns to me. “How could you be so stupid? I shrug, stung in spite of myself. “I thought I grew out of it.” Philip pulls out his key fob and presses the remote to unlock his Mercedes. I slide into the passenger side, brushing coffee cups off the seat and onto the floor mat, where crumpled printouts from MapQuest soak up any spilled liquid. “I hope you mean sleepwalking,” Philip says, “since you obviously didn’t grow out of stupid.

• A man in a desert can hold absence in his cupped hands knowing it is something more than water. There is a plant whose heart, if one cuts it out is replaced with fluid containing herbal goodness. Every morning one can drink the liquid amount of the missing heart.

• Con el lacado, hay una belleza adicional en ese momento entre la retirada de la tapa y la elevación del cuenco hasta la boca, cuando se contempla el líquido quieto y silencioso en las oscuras profundidades del cuenco, cuyo color apenas difiere del del propio cuenco. No se puede distinguir lo que hay en la oscuridad, pero la palma de la mano percibe los suaves movimientos del líquido, el vapor surge del interior, formando gotitas en el borde, y la fragancia que transporta el vapor produce una delicada expectación... un momento de misterio, casi podría decirse, un momento de trance.

• Un día -les dijo-, cuando te hayas jubilado, irás a vivir con una familia que te querrá por tu belleza y nada más, y si tienes mucha suerte habrá niños, y los niños te acariciarán y te acariciarán y te acariciarán. Ossin tiene una lista, creo, de esos niños; envía a su personal de caza durante los meses en que no se les necesita para ese trabajo, a buscarlos y añadir nombres a la lista." Los perros le devolvieron la mirada con sus enormes ojos oscuros y líquidos, y creyeron cada palabra.

• He got out of bed and peeped through the blinds. To the east and opposite to him gardens and an apple-orchard lay, and there in strange liquid tranquility hung the morning star, and rose, rilling into the dusk of night the first grey of dawn. The street beneath its autumn leaves was vacant, charmed, deserted.

• Cuando vives con una mujer aprendes algo cada día. Hasta ahora he aprendido que el pelo largo atasca el desagüe de la ducha antes de que puedas decir "Liquid-Plumr"; que no es aconsejable recortar algo del periódico antes de que tu mujer lo haya leído, aunque el periódico en cuestión sea de hace una semana; que soy la única persona en nuestra casa de dos personas que puede cenar lo mismo tres noches seguidas sin hacer pucheros; y que los auriculares se inventaron para preservar a los cónyuges de los excesos musicales del otro.

• I knew, even as we touched that I had never wanted anything more in all my life. All my crabbed cravings were as a cupful of pond water beside the vast ocean of longing I felt surging through me. My head swam; my eyes blurred. I burned from the inside out as if my blood and bones were consumed with liquid fire.

• Estáis aquí para aprender la ciencia sutil y el arte exacto de hacer pociones. Como aquí no se hacen tonterías con varitas mágicas, muchos de vosotros apenas creeréis que esto es magia. No espero que entendáis realmente la belleza del caldero hirviendo suavemente con sus vapores brillantes, el delicado poder de los líquidos que se arrastran por las venas humanas, embrujando la mente, atrapando los sentidos . . . Puedo enseñaros a embotellar la fama, a elaborar la gloria, incluso a taponar la muerte... si no sois un montón de imbéciles como los que suelo tener que enseñar.

• A little tap at the window, as though some missile had struck it, followed by a plentiful, falling sound, as light, though, as if a shower of sand were being sprinkled from a window overhead; then the fall spread, took on an order, a rhythm, became liquid, loud, drumming, musical, innumerable, universal. It was the rain

• This is where we go our seperate ways. Aware of the almost feel of his hand on my arm when he pulls me back to him and says, "Yes." I look at him, unsure of what he's saying yes to. "The questions you asked earlier, about wanting to settle down, start a family, see my family? Yes. Yes to all of it." I try to swallow but can't, try to speak but the words just won't come. His hands sliding around me, grasping me to him, he lets go of the vial, allows it to fall, to crash to the ground. The sparkling green liquid seeping out all around as he says, "But mostly yes to you.

• Nightfall. “What a strange word. ‘Night’ I get. But ‘fall’ is a gentle word. Autumn leaves fall, swirling with languid grace To carpet the earth with their dying blaze. Tears fall, like liquid diamonds Shimmering softly, before they melt away. Night doesn’t fall here. It comes slamming down.

• ... all this talking, this rather liquid confessing, was something I didn't think I could ever bring myself to do. It seemed foolhardy to me, like an uncooked egg deciding to to come out of its shell: there would be a risk of spreading out too far, turning into a formless puddle.
