Orthodoxy Quotes - Page 6

• Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?

• What hope is there for individual reality or authenticity when the forces of violence and orthodoxy, the earthly powers of guns and bombs and manipulated public opinion make it impossible for us to be authentic and fulfilled human beings? The only hope is in the creation of alternative values, alternative realities. The only hope is in daring to redream one's place in the world - a beautiful act of imagination, and a sustained act of self becoming. Which is to say that in some way or another we breach and confound the accepted frontiers of things.

• Nunca debemos subestimar nuestro poder de equivocarnos cuando hablamos de Dios, cuando pensamos en Dios, cuando imaginamos a Dios, ya sea en prosa o en poesía. Una ortodoxia generosa, en contraste con las ortodoxias tensas, estrechas o controladoras de gran parte de la historia cristiana, no se toma a sí misma demasiado en serio. Es humilde. No pretende demasiado. Admite que camina cojeando.

  Brian D. McLaren

• Let me make no bones about it: I write from the standpoint of Christian orthodoxy. Nothing is more repulsive to me than the idea of myself setting up a little universe of my own choosing and propounding a little immoralistic message. I write with a solid belief in all the Christian dogmas.

• Esa comunidad ya está en proceso de disolución, donde cada hombre comienza a mirar a su vecino como un posible enemigo, donde la no conformidad con el credo aceptado, tanto político como religioso, es una marca de desafección; donde la denuncia, sin especificación ni respaldo, toma el lugar de la evidencia; donde la ortodoxia ahoga la libertad de disentir; donde la fe en la eventual supremacía de la razón se ha vuelto tan tímida que no nos atrevemos a presentar nuestras convicciones en las listas abiertas, para ganar o perder.

• Frantic orthodoxy is never rooted in faith but in doubt. It is when we are unsure that we are doubly sure.

• Spirituality is rebellion; religiousness is orthodoxy. Spirituality is individuality; religiousness is just remaining part of the crowd psychology. Religiousness keeps you a sheep, and spirituality is a lion's roar.

• The framers of the constitution knew human nature as well as we do. They too had lived in dangerous days; they too knew the suffocating influence of orthodoxy and standardized thought. They weighed the compulsions for restrained speech and thought against the abuses of liberty. They chose liberty.

• La libertad de expresión es la fuente de nuestra civilización... La historia de la civilización es en gran medida el desplazamiento del error que una vez se impuso como verdad oficial por creencias que a su vez han cedido el paso a otras verdades. Por lo tanto, la libertad del hombre para buscar la verdad no debe ser coartada, independientemente de las ortodoxias que pueda desafiar.

• Un pueblo inconsciente, un pueblo adoctrinado, un pueblo alimentado sólo con información y opiniones partidistas que confirman sus propios prejuicios, un pueblo convertido en obeso mórbido de mente y espíritu por la comida basura de la propaganda está menos inclinado a oponer resistencia, a hacer preguntas y a ser escéptico. Y del mismo modo que una democracia puede morir por demasiadas mentiras, ese tipo de ortodoxia también puede matarnos.

• I wanted to show how a man of sensitive and noble character, born for religion, comes to throw off the orthodoxies of his day and moment, and to go out into the wilderness where all is experiment, and spiritual life begins again.

• Nadie puede escribir su verdadera vida religiosa con lápiz o pluma. Sólo se escribe con acciones, y su sello es nuestro carácter, no nuestra ortodoxia. Seamos nosotros, nuestro prójimo o Dios quien juzgue, absolutamente el único valor de nuestra vida religiosa para nosotros mismos o para cualquiera es aquello para lo que nos capacita y nos permite hacer.

• "Cynicism," like "heresy" and "heterodoxy" and "atheism" and "agnosticism" and "paganism" and "heathenism," is above all else a way for organized orthodoxy's caste of official censors to encyst and segregate and thus neutralize all contrarian forms of seeing and thinking, all (necessarily implicitly) prohibited and repressed ways of exercising disruptive and iconoclastic intuition and intellection (for to analyze and explain these things too openly is to give them publicity and potential cogency when the point is to asphyxiate them).

• The official keepers of the Holocaust wage an international campaign to silence the disturbing questions. Most people never even hear the revisionist position because Jewish forces dominate the media and block mainstream access to material that questions Holocaust orthodoxy.

• Fundamentalism has stood aloof from the liberal in self-conscious superiority and has on its own part fallen into error, the error of textualism, which is simply orthodoxy without the Holy Ghost. Everywhere among conservatives we find persons who are Bible-taught but not Spirit-taught. They conceive truth to be something which they can grasp with the mind.

• The habits of liberals, their automatic language, their knee-jerk responses to certain issues, deserved the epithets the right wing stuck them with. I'd see how true they often were. Here they were, banding together in packs, so I could predict what they were going to say about some event or conflict and it wasn't even out of their mouths yet. I was very uncomfortable with that. Liberal orthodoxy was as repugnant to me as conservative orthodoxy.

• The difficulty comes from this, that Christianity (Christian orthodoxy) is exclusive and that belief in its truth excludes belief in any other truth. It does not absorb; it repulses.

• La palabra "conservador" es utilizada por la BBC como una palabra de abuso para cualquier persona cuyas opiniones difieran de la insufrible, petulante, mojigata, ingenua, llena de culpa, húmeda y rosa ortodoxia de ese ocaso hogar de las mentes de tercera categoría de esa década de tercera categoría, los años sesenta.
