Basic Things Quotes - Page 2

• Cuando digo o escribo algo, en realidad estoy comunicando muchas cosas distintas. El contenido proposicional (es decir, la información verbal que intento transmitir) es sólo una parte. Otra parte son cosas sobre mí, el comunicador. Todo el mundo lo sabe. Es una función del hecho de que hay tantas maneras diferentes y bien formadas de decir la misma cosa básica, desde, por ejemplo, "¡Me atacó un oso!" a "¡Maldito oso intentó matarme!" a "¡Ese mamotreto ursino hizo el ensayo de cenar sobre mi persona!" y así sucesivamente.

  David Foster Wallace

• Freedom is the basic thing. Consciousness grows in freedom and starts dying, becomes paralyzed and crippled, when things are forced. And up to now, this has been done. This is the greatest crime that parents have always committed against children. They go on forcing the child.

• You are not the sum of your physical, mental, emotional life, but you are designed for the spiritual. The whole design of the human being is created to enjoy your spiritual life and not the material life. This is the basic thing human beings don't understand and that's why, if they knew this fundamental thing, they would seek their spirit first and they would not seek other things.

• En algunos niveles, también se puede tener la sensación de que nos están engañando, de alguna manera. Y que el mundo está en juego por algo que entenderías más si fuera pura ideología. Es una época muy extraña y también nos están quitando cosas básicas.

• One of the basic things we should avoid is to criticize others. Better to criticize yourself. Criticize yourself, criticize your brothers and sisters, criticize your country, criticize all the habits you have and laugh at yourself, is the best way. If you know how to laugh at yourself then you will not object or will not stand in the way of any creativity of another person.

• We currently have a government planning to go to Mars, heal broken marriages, and build bridges to nowhere - and also one that cannot wage a war competently, cannot respond to a hurricane adequately, and cannot enforce borders. Is it too much to ask that it get the basic things right before embarking on grandiose schemes?

• I see a couple of things missing. Any society, any community, even in the family, when the elders don't do their jobs, the youth suffer. We have no done our job. I'm saying anybody 55 and up. We didn't teach people the basic things.

• When you realize how hard it is to know the truth about yourself, you understand that even the most exhaustive and well-meaning autobiography, determined to tell the truth, represents, at best, a guess. There have been times in my life when I felt incredibly happy. Life was full. I seemed productive. Then I thought,"Am I really happy or am I merely masking a deep depression with frantic activity?" If I don't know such basic things about myself, who does?

• Si la lealtad se percibe, y siempre se ha percibido, como obsoleta, ¿por qué seguimos alabándola? Porque la lealtad es esencial para las cosas más básicas que hacen que la vida sea vivible. Sin lealtad no hay amor. Sin lealtad no puede haber familia. Sin lealtad no puede haber amistad. Sin lealtad no puede haber compromiso con la comunidad o el país. Y sin esas cosas, no puede haber sociedad.

• Usamos la analogía de las Fuerzas Aéreas: hubo cosas caras que tuvieron que hacer para conseguir una cabina adecuada para muchos pilotos, como los parabrisas envolventes, pero sus soluciones iniciales, cuando se dieron cuenta de que la media no funcionaba, fueron los asientos ajustables. ¿Cómo demonios no tenían ya asientos ajustables en sus aviones? Buscamos asientos ajustables para la educación, para cosas básicas que podemos hacer.

• The best way to look at any business is from the standpoint of the clients. So there are these certain basic things that aren't going to change. Companies are going to have needs for equity, debt, advice, FX, and derivatives. Individuals are going to have needs for auto loans, mortgages, something that looks like a deposit account, and the ability to send money to people. Those things aren't going to change.

• Experimental novels are sometimes terribly clever and very seldom read. But the story that appeals to the child sitting on your knee is the one that satisfies the curiosity we all have about what happened then, and then, and then. This is the final restriction put on the technique of telling a story. A basic thing called story is built into the human condition. It's what we are; it's something to which we react.

• Here's an easy one: "Race is an entirely social construct." No, it's partially one, depending on how any given society seeks to define it and its implications. But there are basic things such as skin color and hair texture. Even a Martian who'd had no exposure to human "social constructs" would be able to spot those differences. But no Martian, as hard as he tried, could point at a "culture" or to "equality." Those are the social constructs. Those can't be measured in the same way as human DNA.

• My mother was always expanding my art skills and getting me to paint different things. You always got to push some. And, I mean, I learned basic things like getting up on time, how to shop - you know, you don't touch things in a store you're not going to buy. These things were taught very young. I don't see today enough of this basic, you know, basic skill teaching.
