Norm Quotes - Page 5

• I think it's doubly important, now that we see so many people failing. When the norm is an anti-hero, there's a serious loss when you cannot portray a decent person on screen without it becoming slightly sentimental or feeling like it's unrealistic.

• La medida de la salud (mental) es la flexibilidad (no la comparación con alguna "norma"), la libertad de aprender de la experiencia... de dejarse influir por argumentos razonables... y la apelación a las emociones... y especialmente la libertad de cesar cuando se sacian. La esencia de la enfermedad es la congelación del comportamiento en patrones inalterables e insaciables.

  David Brin

• When people become too intense, too serious, they will have trouble in relating to any sort of social game or norm. Perhaps this is why jokes are so important. On one hand they tell us about where the problems and grievances are, and, at the same time, they provide the means of enduring these grievances by laughing at the problems.

• It's because the idea of what's cool is different. When you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what's cool is whether or not you've been to jail, or if you have a car. If you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what's cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something - out-of-the-norm stuff.

• Every time someone reads a story about the politics poisoning the global warming stuff it makes it feel like a political story, meaning it's Us and Them, instead of what it is: this profound challenge we face given our energy norms right now, the fuels of convenience toward something new. No matter what the politics are, it's still an enormous transformation that has to take place.

• Cada vez son más las familias que envían a ambos progenitores a trabajar: se ha convertido en la norma, es lo que esperamos. La inmensa mayoría de nosotros lo hacemos porque pensamos que así nuestras familias estarán más seguras. Pero las cosas no han funcionado así.

• Si las temperaturas veraniegas más altas se convierten en la norma en el futuro, la gente se adaptará. Quizá duerman la siesta con más frecuencia por la tarde y reconviertan sus casas en consecuencia. Lo bueno es que todos estos cambios no se producirán de la noche a la mañana, sino en el espacio de décadas. Aún tenemos tiempo suficiente para reaccionar.

• The houses [my first project in London] were reactions to the condition of the city and my frustrations with the norms that were being played out. In a way they were slightly subconscious but reactions to that condition and a way to posit new possibilities within certain pervasive norms.

• Rifkin's assertions bear no relationship to what I have observed and practiced for 25 years ... Either I am blind or he is wrong - and I think I can show, by analyzing his slipshod scholarship and basic misunderstanding of science, that his world is an invention constructed to validate his own private hopes ... Rifkin shows no understanding of the norms and procedures of science: he displays little comprehension of what science is and how scientists work.

• Tienes que relajarte, liberarte, meditar, respirar, caminar, esquiar, hacer surf, tomar el sol, relajarte, cantar, amar, reír, nutrirte y comer cosas ricas. Y encuentra pensamientos que te hagan sentir cada vez mejor y practícalos hasta que se conviertan en la norma. Y entonces todo aquello en lo que la vida te ha convertido se manifestará en tu experiencia.

• Giving importance to what we think because we thought it, taking our own selves not only (to quote the Greek philosopher) as the measure of all things but as their norm or standard, we create in ourselves, if not an interpretation, at least a criticism of the universe, which we don't even know and therefore cannot criticize. The giddiest, most weak-minded of us then promote that criticism to an interpretation that's superimposed, like a hallucination; induced rather than deduced. It's a hallucination in the strict sense, being an illusion based on something only dimly seen.

• I had become too accustomed to the pseudo-Left new style, whereby if your opponent thought he had identified your lowest possible motive, he was quite certain that he had isolated the only real one. This vulgar method, which is now the norm and the standard in much non-Left journalism as well, is designed to have the effect of making any noisy moron into a master analyst.

• Cost overruns are not uncommon in architecture, particularly for designs that depart from structural or technological norms, or demand a finer quality of execution than commercial schemes - conditions typical of buildings for cultural institutions. Budgets are exceeded for many reasons, not all of them within an architect's control.

• Technological defeatism - a belief that, since a given technology is here to stay, there's nothing we can do about it other than get on with it and simply adjust our norms - is a persistent feature of social thought about technology. We'll come to pay for it very dearly.
