Prophecy Quotes - Page 9

• There is not any haunt of prophecy,
  Nor any old chimera of the grave,
  Neither the golden underground, nor isle
  Melodious, where spirits gat them home,
  Nor visionary south, nor cloudy palm
  Remote on heaven's hill, that has endured
  As April's green endures; or will endure
  Like her remembrance of awakened birds,
  Or her desire for June and evening, tipped
  By the consummation of the swallow's wings.

  Wallace Stevens

  Spring, Home, June

• Geology is rapidly taking its place as an introduction to the higher history of man. If the author has sought to exalt a favorite science, it has been with the desire that man-in whom geological history had its consummation, the prophecies of the successive ages their fulfilment-might better comprehend his own nobility and the true purpose of his existence.

• In the isolation of his clear, cold intellect, the sceptic abides in a glacial and spectral universe. No glow from the affections lights up the frost and shadow of the grave. He feels no prophecy in the thrill of the human heart-in the incompleteness of nature. He believes merely in things tangible, and sees only in the daytime. He will not confess the authenticity of that paler light of faith which was meant to shine when the sunshine of reason falls short, and the firmament of mystery is over our heads.

• Those who have prophesied dreadful consequences as a result of the greater sexual freedom which the young assert - unwanted babies, venereal disease and so on - are usually the very same people who seek the fulfillment of their prophecies by opposing the free availability to the young of contraception and the removal of the stigma and mystification that surround venereal disease.

• They hope for the Apocalypse like a self-fulfilling prophecy

• Many of us grow up thinking of mistakes as bad, viewing errors as evidence of fundamental incapacity. This negative thinking pattern can create a self-fulfilling prophecy, which undermines the learning process. To maximize our learning it is essential to ask: "How can we get the most from every mistake we make?"

• If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run-and often in the short one-the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.

• Toda Ciencia es necesariamente profética, tanto es así, que el poder de la profecía es la prueba, el criterio infalible, por el cual se comprueba que cualquier presunta Ciencia es real y verdaderamente ciencia. La Astronomía Ptolemaica apenas era capaz de pronosticar un eclipse lunar; con Kepler y Newton llegaron la Ciencia y la Profecía.

• In every age he had ever studied, doomsayers abounded. No millennium is attractive to the man immured in it; enough prophecies have been made in antiquity that one who desires, in any age, to take the position that apocalypse is at hand can easily defend it. He would not join that dour order; he would not worry about anything but Tempus, and the matter awaiting his attention.

• Uno de los objetivos de los fundamentalistas cristianos parece ser reconstruir el Templo, lo que significa destruir la mezquita de Al-Aqsa, lo que presumiblemente significa la guerra con el mundo árabe - uno de los objetivos, tal vez, en el cumplimiento de la profecía del Armagedón. Así que apoyan firmemente el poder y el expansionismo israelíes, y ayudan a financiarlo y a ejercer presión en su favor; pero también apoyan acciones que son muy perjudiciales y objetables para la mayoría de su población -al igual que los grupos fundamentalistas judíos, en su mayoría arraigados en EE.UU., que, después de todo, es una de las sociedades fundamentalistas religiosas más extremas del mundo.

• Religion has everything on its side: revelation, prophecies, government protection, the highest dignity and eminence. . . and more than this, the invaluable prerogative of being allowed to imprint its doctrines on the mind at a tender age of childhood, whereby they become almost innate ideas.

• The vampire bible, bound in human skin, written in blood, and full of prophecies that were never wrong. Trouble was, if you read the thing too long, it drove you nuts. Not "I'm having a bad day and feel bitchy" nuts or PMS nuts. "I think I'll commit felony assault on my friends and rape my boyfriend" nuts.
