Artifice Quotes - Page 4

• En todas las partes del universo observamos medios ajustados con el más bello artificio a los fines que están destinados a producir; y en el mecanismo de una planta, o cuerpo animal, admiramos cómo cada cosa está ideada para avanzar en los dos grandes propósitos de la naturaleza, el apoyo del individuo, y la propagación de la especie.

• Era un artificio peculiar de la costumbre no dejar que su poder se sintiera al principio. A aquellos a quienes conducía, tenía la dirección de aparentar que sólo los atendía, pero continuamente doblaba sus cadenas sobre sus compañeros; las cuales eran tan delgadas en sí mismas, y estaban tan silenciosamente sujetas, que mientras la atención estaba ocupada por otros objetos, no eran fácilmente percibidas. Cada eslabón se hacía más apretado a medida que se llevaba más tiempo; y cuando por las continuas adiciones se hacían tan pesados que se sentían, con mucha frecuencia eran demasiado fuertes para romperse.

• The Difference Engine can in reality (as has been already partly explained) do nothing but add; and any other processes, not excepting those of simple subtraction, multiplication and division, can be performed by it only just to that extent in which it is possible, by judicious mathematical arrangement and artifices, to reduce them to a series of additions.

• Drag for me is costume, and what I'm trying to do is, sometimes I'll go around and wear makeup in the streets, turn up to the gig, take the makeup off, do the show, and then put the makeup back on. It's the inverse of drag. It's not about artifice. It's about me just expressing myself. So when I'm campaigning in London for politics, I campaign with makeup on and the nails. It's just what I have on, like any woman.

• When I came to faith, I thought I would have to stop being an actor, because it's all about artifice and manipulation. But we're living in a world where God doesn't really have an influence, unless it's fundamentalists, so I'll always be an outsider because of my faith. And when you think about it, faith and acting are all about stories, so the two are not mutually exclusive.

• If conversation be an art, like painting, sculpture, and literature, it owes its most power charm to nature; and the least shade of formality or artifice destroys the effect of the best collection of words.

• But I would like to reach the point where I could cut up an illustrated magazine at random and see to it that the parts would each become a painting. I cannot properly explain it right now. Already now I am searching for the most boring and irrelevant photo material that I can find. And I would like to get to the point soon where this determined irrelevance could be retained, in favor of something that would be covered up otherwise by artifice.

• Pero puesto que los modernistas (como se les llama comúnmente y con razón) emplean un artificio muy hábil, a saber, presentar sus doctrinas sin orden ni disposición sistemática en un todo, dispersas y desarticuladas unas de otras, de modo que parezcan estar en duda e incertidumbre, mientras que en realidad son firmes y constantes, será ventajoso, Venerables Hermanos, reunir aquí sus enseñanzas en un grupo, y señalar la conexión entre ellas, y así pasar a un examen de las fuentes de los errores, y prescribir remedios para evitar el mal.

• Perhaps that is our doom, our human curse, to never really know one another. We erect edifices in our minds about the flimsy framework of word and deed, mere totems of the true person, who, like the gods to whom the temples were built, remains hidden. We understand our own construct; we know our own theory; we love our own fabrication. Still . . . does the artifice of our affection make our love any less real?

• There is nothing more difficult than tactical maneuvering. The difficult consists in turning the devious into the direct, and misfortune into gain. Thus, to take a long and circuitous route after enticing the enemy out of the way, and though starting after him to contrive to reach the goal before him, shows knowledge of the artifice of deviation.

• If a close examination of the evidences of Christianity may be expected of one class of men more than another, it would seem incumbent upon lawyers who make the law of evidence one of our peculiar studies. Our profession leads us to explore the mazes of falsehood, to detect its artifices, to pierce its thickest veils, to follow and expose its sophistries, to compare the statements of different witnesses with severity, to discover truth and separate it from error.
