Rubbish Quotes - Page 6

• Miserliness has its own conveniences, otherwise nobody would be a miser. If you are not a miser, you become more insecure. If you cling to money, to things, you feel a certain security: at least there is something to ding to; you don't feel empty. Maybe you are full of rubbish; but at least something is there, you are not empty.

  Rajneesh

• If you examine the highest poetry in the light of common sense, you can only say that it is rubbish; and in actual fact you cannot so examine it at all, because there is something in poetry which is not in the words themselves, which is not in the images suggested by the words 'O windy star blown sideways up the sky!' True poetry is itself a magic spell which is a key to the ineffable.

• La idea de que Dios obra de manera misteriosa es una tontería. Sus caminos no tienen nada de misteriosos. Son premeditados y ligeramente confabulados, y te colocan en una situación imposible.

• I thought how you can never tell just by looking at them what they were thinking or what was happening In their lives. Even when you got daft people or drunk people on buses, people that went on stupid and shouted rubbish or tried to tell you all about themselves, you could never really tell about them either... I knew if somebody looked at me, they'd know nothing about me, either.

• ¿Qué es lo más importante para una empresa? ¿Es el edificio? ¿Las acciones? ¿Es el volumen de negocio? Es la gente, la inversión en la gente. Mi momento de mayor orgullo no fue cuando aumenté los beneficios un 17% o reduje los gastos sin perder un solo empleado. No. Fue un joven griego, su primer trabajo en el país, apenas hablaba una palabra de inglés, pero vino y me dijo: "Sr. Brent, ¿quiere ser el padrino de mi hijo?". Al final no fue así. Tuvimos que dejarlo ir, era basura. ¡Era una basura!

• Soy un desastre, como decimos en Gran Bretaña, en lo que a arte se refiere, y siempre envidio a la gente que puede coger algo e incluso hacer un pequeño garabato de alguien que se parece vagamente a ellos. Es impresionante.

• It's just the way I'm made. I do feel confident in what I do. It doesn't always work out 100% of the time, but generally I think I can do it quite well. But the other part of my job is doing the press and stuff. And I'm rubbish at that. I'm really not good at that at all - this quite important part of what I do.

• If I go and try to watch a movie by myself I'll be completely transfixed the whole time, concentrating one hundred percent. But if I'm with another person on a date or something, within two minutes I'll be like 'This is rubbish, this is rubbish. We should leave and do something else.' I don't really know why.

• Perhaps the simplest example is a synthetic plastic, which unlike natural materials, is not degraded by biological decay. It therefore persists as rubbish or is burned-in both cases causing pollution. In the same way, a substance such as DDT or lead, which plays no role in the chemistry of life and interferes with the actions of substances that do, is bound to cause ecological damage if sufficiently concentrated.

• Escribir novelas es un oficio muy cualificado y laborioso. Uno no se sienta detrás de una pantalla a anotar conversaciones ajenas. Uno tiene como materia prima todas y cada una de las cosas que ha visto, oído o sentido alguna vez, y tiene que revisar ese vasto y humeante montón de basura de experiencia, medio ahogado por los humos y el polvo, raspando y hurgando hasta encontrar unos pocos objetos de valor desechados. Luego hay que reunir esos fragmentos deslustrados y abollados, pulirlos, ordenarlos y tratar de darles una forma coherente y significativa.

• Intento no leer sobre mí mismo. ¿Por qué iba a ser interesante leer sobre uno mismo? Lo único que consigues es que te digan que lo estás haciendo bien y te pongas chulito, o que te digan que eres un desastre y te deprimas. ¿Qué sentido tiene?

• I've been following him since Space Oddity. And I've followed him from all those albums that didn't sell, like The Man Who Sold The World and things like that. Above all, apart from all the glamorous rubbish, the music's there. Ziggy Stardust is a classic album.
