Uncontrollable Quotes - Page 3

• Become aware of internal, subjective, subverbal experiences, so that these experiences can be brought into the world of abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc. with the consequence that it immediately becomes possible for a certain amount of control to be exerted over these hitherto unconscious and uncontrollable processes.

• In the humanist ideal, the mainstream is where interesting debate, the generating of new ideas and creativity take place. In rational society this mainstream is considered uncontrollable and is therefore made marginal. The centre ground is occupied instead by structures and courtiers.

• Que los hombres se centren en controlar la reproducción de las mujeres para resolver los problemas de una sociedad parece poco menos que una locura o, en el mejor de los casos, una superstición. Pero la superstición o la locura de los hombres tiene consecuencias reales y nefastas para las mujeres que son su objeto. Y también los Estados se centran en los cuerpos de las mujeres, tal vez para crear la ilusión de que los hombres controlan fuerzas incontrolables. De hecho, casi todos los gobiernos intentan controlar el cuerpo de las mujeres y regular su apariencia de alguna manera.

• La neutralidad y claridad de un dibujo de ingeniería es un modelo mejor para enseñar sobre arte que toda la palabrería incontrolable sobre la cábala y la metafísica y el éxtasis de la santidad.

• The German landscape is something unique that we cannot disturb and have no right to destroy. The more densely populated our 'living space' becomes with settlements, the greater our hunger will grow for unspoilt nature. The ever increasing spiritual damage caused by life within the big city will make this hunger practically uncontrollable... when we build here on this the landscape of our homeland we must be clear that we will protect its beauty; and in places where this beauty has already disappeared, we will reconstruct it.

• Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconscious, impersonal, material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one but himself, and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but is his own master. He can and must decide and manage his own destiny.

• La fotografía documental se está volviendo más ilustrativa a medida que la gente se familiariza con las limitaciones y vulnerabilidades de la fotografía. La realidad siempre se ha interpretado a través de capas de manipulación, abstracción e intervención. Pero ahora está muy a flor de piel. Me gusta esta honestidad sobre su deshonestidad. Toda fotografía tiene muchas verdades y ninguna. Las fotografías son ambiguas, por muy aparentemente científicas que parezcan. Siempre están sujetas a un contexto incontrolable. Es una afirmación manida, pero merece la pena repetirla.

• There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

• Para Epictetus, todos los acontecimientos externos están determinados por el destino y, por tanto, escapan a nuestro control, pero podemos aceptar lo que ocurra con calma y desapasionadamente. El individuo, sin embargo, es responsable de sus propios actos, que puede examinar y controlar mediante una autodisciplina rigurosa. El sufrimiento surge de intentar controlar lo incontrolable o de descuidar lo que está en nuestra mano. Como parte de la ciudad universal que es el universo, el ser humano tiene el deber de cuidar de todos sus semejantes. La persona que siguiera estos preceptos alcanzaría la felicidad.

• Whereupon a strange euphoria came over me. Not only was I exiled, paralyzed, mute, half deaf, deprived of all pleasures, and reduced to the existence of a jellyfish, but I was also horrible to behold.
