Trunks Quotes - Page 5

• Alan Menken took me to his studio and we went through his trunks of songs and put together an album of stuff that people and stuff that people don't know. I'm very proud with the way it came out. I had no idea what it would be like to do an album and that process was grueling and tedious but it was very rewarding. I would do it again if I had the chance.

• Apaga el ordenador y sal al exterior. Cava un hoyo lo bastante grande para trasplantar un manzano maduro. Cuida el árbol, aliméntalo, mímalo para que su fruto sea amplio, brillante y firme. Practica golpes con la mano abierta contra la áspera corteza del tronco hasta que llegue el momento de la cosecha. Elige al campeón de tu cosecha de manzanas, arráncalo del árbol y golpéate la cara y las tetas con él hasta que tu temple sea suficiente.

Or come out with a trunk and never touch it. Or come out with a clear trunk with nothing in it.

• What greater delight and wonder can there be than to leave the straight lines of personality and deviate into these footpaths that lead beneath brambles and thick tree trunks into the heart of the forest where live those wild beasts, our fellow men? That is true: to escape is the greatest of pleasures; street haunting in winter the greatest of adventures.

• The history of men of science has one peculiar advantage, as it shows the importance of little things in producing great results. Smeaton learned his principle of constructing a lighthouse, by noticing the trunk of a tree to be diminished from a curve to a cyclinder ... and Newton, turning an old box into a water-clock, or the yard of a house into a sundial, are examples of those habits of patient observation which scientific biography attractively recommends.

• Knox was engaged in a theological discussion with scientist John Scott Haldane. 'In a universe containing millions of planets,' reasoned Haldane, 'is it not inevitable that life should appear on at least one of them?'

I think the would still want to know who put it there'.

• Este único palo, que ahora contemplas yaciendo sin gloria en ese rincón descuidado, lo conocí una vez en un bosque en un estado floreciente: Estaba lleno de savia, lleno de hojas y lleno de ramas: Pero ahora, en vano el ocupado arte del hombre pretende competir con la naturaleza, atando ese marchito manojo de ramas a su tronco sin savia: En el mejor de los casos, no es más que el reverso de lo que fue: un árbol al revés, con las ramas en la tierra y la raíz en el aire.

• La consciencia es el estado mental que lo capta todo: los cuervos que vuelan por el cielo, las flores de los árboles, la gente sentada delante, los colores que visten... ser ampliamente consciente, que necesita mirar, observar, captar la forma de la hoja, la forma del tronco, la forma de la cabeza de otro, lo que está haciendo.

• Cuando era pequeño, no tenía ningún cómic. Pero mi amigo tenía un baúl lleno de ellos, así que los cómics eran como caramelos para mí.

• The appearance of strength is all about you. It would seem to last forever. However... the rotten tree-trunk, until the very moment when the storm-blast breaks it in two, has all the appearance of might it ever had. The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now. Listen... and you will hear the creaking.
