Units Quotes - Page 4

• Las leyes, las religiones, los credos y los sistemas éticos, en lugar de hacer que la sociedad sea mejor que su mejor unidad, la hacen peor que su unidad media, porque nunca están actualizados.

• En la juventud podemos tener una experiencia absolutamente nueva, subjetiva u objetiva, cada hora del día. La comprensión es vívida, la retentiva fuerte, y nuestros recuerdos de esa época, como los de un tiempo pasado en viajes rápidos e interesantes, son de algo intrincado, multitudinario y prolongado. Pero como cada año que pasa convierte parte de esta experiencia en una rutina automática que apenas notamos, los días y las semanas se suavizan en el recuerdo hasta convertirse en una unidad sin contenido, y los años se vuelven huecos y se derrumban.

• Las predicciones de que la cohesión de la unidad no podría sobrevivir a la sinceridad sobre la orientación sexual eran sencillamente erróneas. Lo que sí amenaza la moral son las prolongadas investigaciones, los interrogatorios a amigos y compañeros de trabajo, los registros de los barracones en busca de revistas y cartas, la caza de brujas.

• The purpose of adolescence is to revise the past, not to obliterate it. . . . Adolescence entails the deployment of family passions to the passions and ideals that bind individuals to new family units, to their communities, to the species, to nature, to the cosmos. Therefore, given half a chance, the revolution at issue in adolescence becomes a revolution of transformation, not of annihilation.

• That this subject [of imaginary magnitudes] has hitherto been considered from the wrong point of view and surrounded by a mysterious obscurity, is to be attributed largely to an ill-adapted notation. If, for example, +1, -1, and the square root of -1 had been called direct, inverse and lateral units, instead of positive, negative and imaginary (or even impossible), such an obscurity would have been out of the question.

• Traditionally in American society, men have been trained for both competition and teamwork through sports, while women have been reared to merge their welfare with that of the family, with fewer opportunities for either independence or other team identifications, and fewer challenges to direct competition. In effect, women have been circumscribed within that unit where the benefit of one is most easily believed to be the benefit of all.

• A mathematician would hardly call a correspondence between the set of 64 triples of four units and a set of twenty other units, "universal", while such correspondence is, probably, the most fundamental general feature of life on Earth.

• After a short period spent in Brussels as a guest of a neurological institute, I returned to Turin on the verge of the invasion of Belgium by the German army, Spring 1940, to join my family. The two alternatives left then to us were either to emigrate to the United States, or to pursue some activity that needed neither support nor connection with the outside Aryan world where we lived. My family chose this second alternative. I then decided to build a small research unit at home and installed it in my bedroom.

• Please stop using the word "Negro."... We are the only human beings in the world with fifty-seven variety of complexions who are classed together as a single racial unit. Therefore, we are really truly colored people, and that is the only name in the English language which accurately describes us.

• Mi mujer y yo hemos comprado dos híbridos. Hemos comprado una unidad fotovoltaica de 3 kw. Reciclamos y compensamos nuestras emisiones de carbono en Internet. Apagamos cosas. Pero también nos gastamos dos buenos sueldos al año, y aquí está el pequeño y sucio secreto: nuestra huella ambiental es ENORME, estoy seguro. Todos tenemos que hacer lo que podamos en nuestras vidas individuales, pero también tenemos que impulsar los cambios sistémicos que marcarán las grandes diferencias.

• Each person was himself one alone. One oneness, a unit in a society, but always afraid, always alone. If I should scream, if I should call for help, would anyone hear would it even matter?

• Mormon leaders said in a statement they will reexamine their ties to the Boy Scouts. "The church," they said, "has always welcomed all boys to its Scouting units regardless of sexual orientation. However, the admission of openly gay leaders is inconsistent with the doctrines of the church and what have traditionally been the values of the Boy Scouts of America."

• Aunque un hombre puede perder el sentido de su propia importancia cuando es una mera unidad en medio de una multitud ajetreada, que le ignora por completo, no quiere decir que pueda despojarse, con la misma facilidad, de un sentido muy fuerte de la importancia y magnitud de sus preocupaciones.

• Hillary Clinton famously talked about how raising a child takes a village. Except our society isn't set up that way. We're organized in nuclear units, and a single mom can ask her friends only so many times for help picking up the kids.

• Conditions to the north of us, in the Voronezh and Steppe Fronts zone of action, and our offensive on Kharkov demands that we not lose time and we commit all forces so that we can draw off as many divisions as possible from Kharkov. And even if we do not draw them off, at least we will not give Manstein the ability to take any of his units from our part of the front. If we attract one or two German tank divisions - it will be the best contribution to the defeat of the enemy in the south.

• The Americans had not played a very prominent part in the war of 1914-1918, he (Adolf Hitler) thought, and moreover, had not made any great sacrifices of blood. They would certainly not withstand a trial by fire, for their fighting qualities were low. In general no such thing as an American people existed as a unit; they were nothing but a mass of immigrants from many nations and many races.

• Tenemos que dejar de quemar combustibles fósiles y utilizar únicamente energía eólica, hidráulica y solar, generando toda la energía a partir de unidades individuales o pequeñas comunidades, como molinos de viento, norias y paneles solares. El transporte marítimo debería ser a vela... El transporte aéreo debería ser en dirigibles propulsados por energía solar cuando el transporte aéreo sea necesario.
