Whim Quotes - Page 8

• Suponer que el valor de una acción ordinaria viene determinado exclusivamente por los beneficios de una empresa descontados por los tipos de interés pertinentes y ajustados al tipo impositivo marginal es olvidar que la gente ha quemado brujas, ha ido a la guerra por capricho, ha salido en defensa de Joseph Stalin y ha creído a Orson Welles cuando les decía por radio que los marcianos habían aterrizado.

• There's just a feeling, when you're just an actor - I have great admiration for people who are just actors. I don't understand it, the idea of waiting to get cast, being at the whim of others. I find it incredibly powerless and frightening, so that's why I've been constantly trying to create my own content.

• Sinceramente, nunca he querido ser actor. Le digo a la gente que yo no elegí la interpretación, sino que la interpretación me eligió a mí. Nunca crecí queriendo ser actor. Quería jugar al fútbol. En noveno curso, un profesor de inglés me dijo que tenía talento para actuar. Me dijo que debía presentarme a una audición en un instituto de artes escénicas, así que lo hice por capricho. Me aceptaron.

• El estadio genético de una reserva genética puede identificarse por las características de personalidad del Dios local. El Jehová del Génesis es un Dios macarra bárbaro de bajo nivel. Se jacta de haber creado el cielo, las estrellas y el mundo, pero no proporciona detalles técnicos ni planos reproducibles. Sus preocupaciones, caprichos, ansiedades, celos, reglas y odio a las mujeres son primitivos cerebros de mamífero. Sus pequeños orgullos son primates.

• Dudo mucho que los hombres que se convierten en jefes piratas estén llenos de terror retrospectivo hacia sus padres, o que Napoleón, en Austerlitz, sintiera realmente que se estaba vengando de Madame Mère. No sé nada de la madre de Atila , pero más bien sospecho que malcrió al pequeño, que posteriormente encontró el mundo irritante porque a veces se resistía a sus caprichos.

• Trata de recordar esto: lo que proyectas es lo que percibirás; lo que percibes con cualquier pasión, sea amor o terror, puede tomar caprichos y poderes propios. Por lo tanto, una circunspección adormecida y a regañadientes te servirá mejor, a menos que te excedas, vigilando tu paso demasiado estrechamente, negándote a especificar un mundo, reduciendo tu alcance a una visión estrecha de tus zapatos que avanzan, que pueden, tan pronto como llegues a pensar, estar cruzando un desfiladero invisible sobre un caballete podrido.

• La vanidad es un deseo de gloria personal, el deseo de ser apreciado, honrado y perseguido, no por las cualidades, méritos y logros personales, sino por la existencia individual. En el mejor de los casos, por tanto, es un frívolo capricho de belleza que conviene.

• The Infinite alone exists and is Real; the finite is passing and false. The Original Whim in the Beyond caused the apparent descent of the Infinite into the realm of the seeming finite. This is the Divine Mystery and Divine Game in which Infinite Consciousness for ever plays on all levels of finite consciousness.

• Recognizing that the world is governed by a minority, the sexually active, and that they hold sway of a huge majority of the nonsexual, those people too young or too old or too poor or too homely or sick or crazy or powerless to be able to afford sexual partners (or the luxury of systematic, sustained and shared introspection, so sexual in its own way). All advertisements and films and songs are addressed to sexuals, to their rash whims and finicky tastes.

• Se puede dibujar lo que se quiera sobre una pizarra en blanco y dar rienda suelta a todos los caprichos en la naturaleza al trazar una Nueva Delhi, Canberra o Brasilia, pero cuando se opera en una metrópolis sobreedificada, hay que abrirse camino con un hacha de carnicero.

• I can truthfully say, in arts I have pretty much seen and done it all and, at my age, I have no patience with wide-eyed artists fooling themselves about their place in history. We should know by now that it is the whim of the elite few who set the rules... those who have fooled themselves into believing that they are God's gift to the ages.

• There were moments when I wondered at the gossamer veil that stops licence from being libel. I suspect that taking on the job of England manager puts you outside the protection of the courts. It must be part of the job description that you will be held hostage by media speculation and can have your character tortured, molested and finally executed at the public whim, in exchange for a lifetime's supply of money.
