Average Person Quotes - Page 5

• In America we've spent over a billion dollars on autism research. What have we got for that? We've not seen anything that's appreciably impacted the quality of life of autistic people, regardless of their place on the spectrum. Quite frankly, we've spent $1bn figuring out how to make mice autistic and we'll spend another $1bn figuring out how to make them not autistic. And that's not what the average person wakes up in the morning aspiring to. They think: am I going to be able to find a job, to communicate, to live independently, either on my own or with support? Those are the real priorities.

• Medir tus necesidades por lo que se proyecta a través de los medios de comunicación es un error que no tiene piedad. Una persona media ve un mínimo de mil anuncios al día. Decir "no" a los anuncios más escandalosos es un acto de responsabilidad que debe enseñarse pronto y a menudo.

• Well, when you think music-wise, and if you hang with me or you see me or whatever, the average person will be like 'oh yeah, she probably raps'. This is that stereotype and then I do what I do, so they're more like 'oh, I wasn't expecting this whatsoever'. This especially links with the idea of being a woman in this kind of work and within the footwork genre.

• La memoria a corto plazo de una persona media sólo puede contener de cinco a siete bits de datos en un momento dado. Si metes más elementos, otros se caen. Cuanto mayor eres, más cosas has metido en esos circuitos de memoria. Los jóvenes de veinticinco años pueden recordar cosas porque aún tienen espacio vacío. Algunos llevamos a nuestros hijos al supermercado con la esperanza de que recuerden por qué estamos allí.

• The reality is, the way we've used phones and the amount that we've used phones has changed radically in the past five years. When phones were first marketed in the 1990s, it cost, for car phones, $3000 to buy a phone and the average person did not use it that much. They were very, very expensive.

• For the average person, taken to their sick bed, it takes a serious bout of pneumonia or a full body cast to completely forget the life they had prior to falling off the rollercoaster. I, however, will do this over a paper cut on my thumb, obsessing of said cut and being generally consumed by it.

• The truth is that a vast restructuring of our society is needed if remedies are to become available to the average person. Without that restructuring the good will that holds society together will be slowly dissipated... It is that sense of futility which permeates the present series of protests and dissents. Where there is a persistent sense of futility, there is violence; and that is where we are today.

• I wear a pedometer, a little device that counts every step. It works as a goad, because you walk additional distances to pile up the numbers. The average person walks 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. I walk 10,000 steps a day. I have lost a lot of weight as a result.

• We have the whitest kitchens and the most shining bathrooms in the world. But in the lovely white kitchen the average [person] can’t produce a meal fit to eat, and the lovely shining bathroom is mostly a receptacle for deodorants, laxatives, sleeping pills, and the products of that confidence racket called the cosmetic industry. We make the finest packages in the world, Mr Marlowe. The stuff inside is mostly junk." —

• A recent survey stated that the average person's greatest fear is having to give a speech in public. Somehow this ranked even higher than death which was third on the list.

• El racionalismo pertenece al observador frío. Pero debido a la estupidez de la persona corriente, no sigue la razón, sino la fe. Esta fe ingenua, requiere ilusiones necesarias y simplificaciones emocionalmente potentes, que son proporcionadas por el fabricante de mitos para mantener a la persona ordinaria en curso.

• La persona media no es consciente de que está viviendo un destino negativo según su programación pasada (infancia), preservando su identidad familiar y, en el proceso, alejando el amor. En un nivel inconsciente, muchas personas sienten que si no alejaran el amor, el mundo entero, tal y como lo han vivido, se haría añicos y no sabrían quiénes son.
