Protest Quotes - Page 7

• Hay una diferencia entre criticar a la gente y criticar los ideales desinformados de la gente. Es decir, a menos que uno se defina a sí mismo o a los demás por sus ideales, entonces se ofende, y suele ofenderse en secreto. Porque, curiosamente, esta persona es la misma que recurre más rápidamente a insultos despectivos, como "intolerante" o "fanático". Y, por extraño que parezca, siempre es él, el de "mente abierta", quien protesta enérgicamente, no sólo por sí mismo, sino también por los demás, para que no escuchen ningún tipo de verdad teológica erudita, inherentemente por el bien de sus propias creencias morales personales.

• The New Age movement, for all the validity of its protest and the value of some of its recommendations, is in truth a very old blind alley. There is a very long history to remind us of what happens when nature is our ultimate point of reference . . . . Nature knows no ethics. There is no right and wrong in nature; the controlling realities are power and fertility.

• ¿Se me ha retirado el don de la risa? Protesto que todavía, a la edad de cuarenta y siete años, me río a menudo, fuerte y largamente. Pero creo que no tan larga, fuerte y a menudo como en mi juventud menos risueña. Y hoy en día estoy orgulloso de reír, y agradecido a cualquiera que me haga reír. Eso es una mala señal. Ya no tomo la risa como algo natural.

• It's my greatest success. Women did not vote in Italy until 1946. A good friend and I put together a group of women to protest this. I was very young, just a girl. We went to the Viminale [home of the Ministry of the Interior] and spoke to the chair of the ministry board. Thanks to our initiative, we got the bureaucracy rolling on giving women the right to vote. I have to thank my father for this. He was in Geneva at the League of Nations, and women voted there. He thought it was absurd that women didn't vote in his country yet.

• La noche más oscura que jamás haya caído sobre la tierra nunca ocultó la luz, nunca apagó las estrellas. Sólo hizo que las estrellas brillasen con más intensidad y amabilidad, como si protestasen contra la oscuridad.

• The people on the streets of Egypt and Tunisia and Libya and Syria and Iran have done more to defeat the ideology of Al Qaeda than anything that the United States has done. They have shown that there is a third way, that with peaceful protest you can have an end to dictatorship and a role for human dignity, a role for your religious faith in society.

• The disease concept of homosexuality as with the disease concept of all so-called mental illnesses, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, or suicide conceals the fact that homosexuals are a group of medically stigmatized and socially persecuted individuals. ... Their anguished cries of protest are drowned out by the rhetoric of therapy just as the rhetoric of salvation drowned out the [cries] of heretics.

• Ninguna revolución puede tener éxito como factor de liberación a menos que los MEDIOS utilizados para llevarla a cabo sean idénticos en espíritu y tendencia a los PROPÓSITOS que deben alcanzarse. La revolución es la negación de lo existente, una protesta violenta contra la inhumanidad del hombre hacia el hombre con todas las mil y una esclavitudes que implica. Es la destrucción de los valores dominantes sobre los que la ignorancia y la brutalidad han construido un complejo sistema de injusticia, opresión e injusticia. Es el heraldo de NUEVOS VALORES, que marcan el comienzo de una transformación de las relaciones básicas del hombre con el hombre y del hombre con la sociedad.

• I think Nature, if she interests herself much about her children, must often feel that, like the miserable Frankenstein, with her experimenting among the elements of humanity, she has brought beings into existence who have no business here; who can do none of her work, and endure none of her favours; whose life is only suffering; and whose action is one long protest against the ill foresight which flung them into consciousness.

• Yet, sluggard, wake, and gull thy soul no more With earth's false pleasures, and the world's delight, Whose fruit is fair and pleasing to the sight, But sour in taste, false as the putrid core: Thy flaring glass is gems at her half light; She makes thee seeming rich, but truly poor: She boasts a kernel, and bestows a shell; Performs an inch of her fair-promis'd ell: Her words protest a heav'n; her works produce a hell.

• I wish to suggest that ample opportunity does exist for dissent, for protest, and for nonconformity. But I must also say that the right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.

• When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. Originality is deliberate and forced, and partakes of the nature of a protest. A society which gives unlimited freedom to the individual, more often than not attains a disconcerting sameness.

• I think Miss Moore was right to cut "The Steeple-Jack" - the poem seems plainer and clearer in its shortened state but she has cut too much... The reader may feel like saying, "Let her do as she pleases with the poem; it's hers, isn't it?" No; it's much too good a poem for that, it long ago became everybody's, and we can protest just as we could if Donatello cut off David's left leg.

• In the Germany of the l920s, the Weimar Republic, both orga­nismic biology and Gestalt psychology were part of a larger intellectual trend that saw itself as a protest movement against the increasing fragmentation and alienation of human nature. The entire Weimar culture was characterized by an antimechanistic outlook, a "hunger for wholeness". Organismic biology, Gestalt psychology, ecology, and, later on, general systems theory all grew out of this holistic zeitgeist.

• Hurry not a woman's favor; neither forcer her hastily to surrender to thee. For she goeth into love as she goeth into the waters at the seashore; first a hand and then a lip goeth she in by littles. She diveth not, she leapeth not from the pier; but by gentle shocks and cries of protest she entereth slowly; yet when the waters of love encompass her, then she is supported. She swimmeth in her joy; she floateth on the tide of happiness.

• Others - as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders - serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few - as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men - serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part.

• El absurdismo, como la duda metódica, ha hecho borrón y cuenta nueva. Nos deja en un callejón sin salida. Pero, al igual que la duda metódica, puede, volviendo sobre sí mismo, abrir un nuevo campo de investigación, y en el proceso de razonamiento sigue entonces el mismo curso. Proclamo que no creo en nada y que todo es absurdo, pero no puedo dudar de la validez de mi proclamación y al menos debo creer en mi protesta.

• El único camino seguro y honorable para un hombre que se respete a sí mismo es hacer lo que yo he decidido hacer, es decir, someterse sin protestar a la pena de la desobediencia... no por falta de respeto a la autoridad legítima, sino en obediencia a la ley superior de nuestro ser, la voz de la conciencia.

• The maiden Olympics had more to protest about than mere war, though. Central to its ethos was a rejection of two establishments the political one, certainly, but also that of the wider poetry world itself. It changed poetry for ever in the UK, ... It led to readings all over the country. You suddenly got more women reading and publishing poems, as well as gay guys and poets from all over the world. Until that time, published poetry had been very university-based white, male, middle-class. We were trying to break poetry out of its academic confines.

• The truth is that a vast restructuring of our society is needed if remedies are to become available to the average person. Without that restructuring the good will that holds society together will be slowly dissipated... It is that sense of futility which permeates the present series of protests and dissents. Where there is a persistent sense of futility, there is violence; and that is where we are today.
