Unicorn Quotes - Page 5

• ¿Existen bestias míticas que no sean simples pastiches de la naturaleza? Centauros, minotauros, unicornios, grifos, quimeras, esfinges, mantícoras y similares no hablan bien de la imaginación humana. Ninguno es tan novedoso como un canguro o una estrella de mar.

• The passion for exploration and discovery, the hunger to learn all things about all aspects of the physical world, the great and preposterous optimism that held that such truths were in fact discoverable, its dazzling sophistication and its occasional startling innocence; an age in which geographical and scientific discoveries surpassed anything previously dreamt of, and yet an age in which it was still, just barely, possible to believe in mermaids and unicorns - these remarkable traits so characterized the British 18th century

• How many of the unicorn companies are really prosaic businesses - like limousine services or renting rooms in your house? The original VC firms from the '70's made their money and established the reputation of their respective brands by leveraging big cleverness with small capital, not small cleverness with big capital, and that's what's going on with these unicorns. That has never worked and it won't work this time. It doesn't produce venture quality returns, and it never will.

• Creo que la Biblia como literatura debería ser una parte obligatoria del currículo nacional... no se puede entender la literatura y la cultura inglesas sin ella. Pero en la medida en que la teología estudia la naturaleza de lo divino, se ganará el derecho a ser tomada en serio cuando aporte la más mínima, la más pequeña pizca de razón para creer en la existencia de lo divino. Mientras tanto, deberíamos dedicar tanto tiempo al estudio de la teología seria como al de las hadas y los unicornios serios.

• I always tell girls who say they want to start a band but don't have any talent, well, neither do I. I mean, I can carry a tune, but anyone who picks up a bass can figure it out. You don't have to have magic unicorn powers. You work at it, and you get better. It's like anything- You sit there and do it every day, and eventually you get good at it.

• Aconsejar a una persona normal que no se preocupe por las calorías, sino que preste atención a los desencadenantes del hambre y coma alimentos ricos en nutrientes... bueno, es un concepto maravilloso. También me encanta la idea de unicornios saltando sobre arco iris de algodón de azúcar. Incluso me estoy planteando jugar al baloncesto para ver si me hace más alta. ¡Venga ya! Sugerir que alguien que lucha con su peso no necesita pensar en las calorías es tan arriesgado como sugerirte que no mires las etiquetas de los precios la próxima vez que vayas a comprar un coche.

• Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead.

• I feel like I don't see myself as all that different from other humans as a woman, but I'm surprised by how frequently I'm asked to see myself differently. So that's one kind of terror to have to face. Am I a unicorn? What's sticking out of my head that I'm not seeing? I'm simply female, and that puts me alongside all of my human counterparts.

• I think, as poets, we are in the odd position of constantly defending our art form. Which is funny and also sort of invigorating, too. No one really says, "Oh you're a lawyer? I've never understood the law. In fact, I kind of hate it." Or, "Oh you wait tables? I didn't know that was something people did." I say it can be invigorating because, on some level, we have to evaluate what we do and why we do it almost daily. We have to explain ourselves to people all the time. We have to say, "Yes, I am a unicorn, believe in me."
