Response Quotes - Page 10

• If God made no response except to perfect faith, who could hope for help? But God has regard for beginnings, and His eye perceives greatness in the germ. The hand of the woman in the crowd trembled as it was stretched toward Jesus, and the faith back of it was superstitiously reverent, trusting in the virtue of the robe, rather than in the One who wore it; yet the genuineness of that faith; feeble though it was, triumphed in God's loving sight. Real trust is real power, though the heart and hand be feeble.

• La Declaración de Derechos de los Veteranos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial marcó el paso a la sociedad del conocimiento. Puede que los historiadores del futuro lo consideren el acontecimiento más importante del siglo XX. Estamos claramente en medio de esta transformación; de hecho, si la historia sirve de guía, no se completará hasta 2010 o 2020. Pero ya ha cambiado el panorama político, económico y moral del mundo.

• Reading [poetry], you know, is rather like opening the door to a horde of rebels who swarm out attacking one in twenty places at once - hit, roused, scraped, bared, swung through the air, so that life seems to flash by; then again blinded, knocked on the head - all of which are agreeable sensations for a reader (since nothing is more dismal than to open the door and get no response).

• La vergüenza es la reacción adecuada cuando uno ha violado deliberadamente el comportamiento aceptado por la sociedad. Infligirla es la respuesta de la etiqueta cuando se desobedecen sus normas. La ley tiene todo tipo de formas desagradables de tomar represalias cuando se hace caso omiso de ella, pero la etiqueta sólo tiene un sentido de la vergüenza social para disuadir a la gente de tratar a los demás de formas que saben que son incorrectas. Así que, naturalmente, Miss Manners quiere mantener el sentido de la vergüenza. Algunas formas de malestar están plenamente justificadas, y la persona que siente vergüenza debería ocuparse de eliminar sus causas en lugar de tratar de aliviar los síntomas.

• Writing is one of the few professions left where you take all the responsibility for what you do. It's really dangerous and ultimately destroys you as a writer if you start thinking about responses to your work or what your audience needs.

• The more flexible an economy, the greater its ability to self-correct in response to inevitable, often unanticipated, disturbances and thus to contain the size and consequences of cyclical imbalances.

• The habits of a lifetime when everything else had to come before writing are not easily broken, even when circumstances now often make it possible for writing to be first; habits of years - responses to others, distractibility, responsibility for daily matters - stay with you, mark you, become you. The cost of discontinuity (that pattern still imposed on women) is such a weight of things unsaid, an accumulation of material so great, that everything starts up something else in me; what should take weeks take me sometimes months to write; what should take months, takes years.

• [On Marilyn Monroe:] I think my response to her death was the common one: it came to me with the impact of a personal deprivation but I also felt it as I might a catastrophe in history or in nature; there was less in life, there was less of life, because she had ceased to exist. In her loss life itself had been injured.

• A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God. He has achieved a deeper, bigger life than the rest of us, a more wonderful contact with the mysteries of the Universe; a life of infinite possibility, the term of which he never feels that he has reached.

• taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. Nothing is more decisive. There is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. Intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.

• Estoy comprometido con la idea de que una de las pocas cosas que los seres humanos tienen que ofrecer es la riqueza de las respuestas emocionales inconscientes y conscientes al hecho de estar vivos. ... El tipo de estima que se concede a la brillantez/inteligencia impide a las personas normales o a las de aprendizaje lento participar plenamente en la vida humana, en particular en la vida técnica e intelectual. Pero no se puede excluir a ningún ser humano de la participación emocional.
