Wallets Quotes - Page 3

• Nuestra cultura nos ha llenado la cabeza pero nos ha vaciado el corazón, nos ha llenado la cartera pero nos ha dejado sin asombro. Ha alimentado nuestra sed de hechos, pero no de significado o misterio. Produce gente "agradable", no héroes.

• Holocausts do not amaze me. Rapes and child slavery do not amaze me. And Franklin, I know you feel otherwise, but Kevin does not amaze me. I am amazed when I drop a glove in the street and a teenager runs two blocks to return it. I am amazed when a checkout girl flashes me a wide smile with my change, though my own face had been a mask of expedience. Lost wallets posted to their owners, strangers who furnish meticulous directions, neighbors who water each other's houseplants - these things amaze me.

• En ocasiones he observado a padres que van de compras para vestir a un hijo a punto de entrar en el servicio misionero. Se ajustan los trajes nuevos, se atan los zapatos nuevos, y se compran camisas, calcetines y corbatas en cantidad. Conocí a un padre que me dijo: 'Hermano Monson, quiero que conozca a mi hijo'. El orgullo le hizo saltar los botones; el coste de la ropa vació su cartera; el amor llenó su corazón. Se me llenaron los ojos de lágrimas cuando me di cuenta de que su traje [el del padre] era viejo, sus zapatos estaban muy gastados; pero él no sentía ninguna privación. El brillo de su rostro era un recuerdo imborrable.

• Nobody is excused from the excellence trend. Babies are not excused. Starting right after they get out of the womb, modern babies are exposed to instructional flashcards designed to make them the best babies they can possibly be, so they can get into today's competitive preschools. Your eighties baby sees so many flashcards that he never gets an unobstructed view of his parents' faces. As an adult, he'll carry around a little wallet card that says "7x9=63," because it will remind him of mother.

• Somebody was saying to Picasso that he ought to make pictures of things the way they are-objective pictures. He mumbled that he wasn't quite sure what that would be. The person who was bullying him produced a photograph of his wife from his wallet and said, "There, you see, that is a picture of how she really is." Picasso looked at it and said, "She is rather small, isn't she? And flat?"

• No, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its birds.
