Behemoth Quotes

• You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled by Koroviev. Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied. 'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently. 'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!

• Una autoridad diferente de la época de [Ronald] Reagan: EO 12333, una orden ejecutiva para la recopilación de inteligencia extranjera, a diferencia de las que utilizamos ahora a nivel nacional. Así que ésta ni siquiera está autorizada por la ley. Es sólo un trozo de papel con la firma de Reagan, que se ha actualizado un par de veces desde entonces. Así que lo que sucedió fue que, de repente, estas enormes y gigantescas empresas se dieron cuenta de que sus centros de datos -que envían cientos de millones de comunicaciones entre personas todos los días- estaban completamente desprotegidos, desnudos electrónicamente.

• Del mar surgirán Behemoth y Leviatán, y navegarán alrededor de las galeras... Los dragones vagarán por los páramos, y el fénix se elevará por los aires desde su nido de fuego. Pondremos nuestras manos sobre el basilisco, y veremos la joya en la cabeza del sapo. El Hipogrifo se parará en nuestros establos, y sobre nuestras cabezas flotará el Pájaro Azul cantando sobre cosas bellas e imposibles, sobre cosas que son hermosas y que nunca suceden, sobre cosas que no son y que deberían ser.

• Logic is immaturity weaving its nets of gossamer wherewith it aims to catch the behemoth of knowledge. Logic is a crutch for the cripple, but a burden for the swift of foot and a greater burden still for the wise.

• A finales de los 60 y en los 70, se estaban fabricando e instalando en estudios de todo el mundo un montón de equipos realmente bonitos y las mesas Neve eran consideradas como los Cadillacs de las consolas de grabación. Son estas mesas de grabación realmente grandes, de aspecto gigantesco; parecen como si fueran del Enterprise en Star Trek o algo así. Son de un color grisáceo, algo así como un viejo tanque del ejército con un montón de mandos, y para cualquier friki del estudio o entusiasta de los equipos es como el juguete más guay del mundo.

• i el Gobierno va a poner dinero en el sector del automóvil, debería disolver GM y Chrysler como condición para la ayuda financiera, y debería ser ecuánime en su trato a las empresas de nueva creación como Tesla, Miles, Fisker y otras. Sería terrible matar a los empresarios que han asumido grandes riesgos para sacar al mercado nuevas tecnologías automovilísticas inyectando dinero de los impuestos en los gigantes que lo han hecho todo mal durante los últimos años.

• What can you say about a man who leaps from a helicopter over Manhattan without a parachute in the hope that by increasing his heart rate he'll transform into an iridescent lime-green behemoth so he can take on an even bigger behemoth? That he knows he's living in a computer-generated universe in which gravity is a feeble suggestion and nothing is remotely at stake, and that when he hits the ground he'll be replaced by a special effect. The Incredible Hulk is weightless-as disposable as an Xbox game.

• Governance is complex, difficult, and on the whole, thankless - why ever should the Bright Young Things leave the management of their hotels, newspapers, banks, TV channels and corporations to join, like fleas on a behemoth, the government? Wherein lies the difference between the two worlds?

• When that devil's bullet lodged itself inside the body of Martin Luther King, he had already begun an astonishing mobilization of poor, Black, white, latino Americans who had nothing to lose. They would challenge our government to eliminate exploitative, merciless, and war-mongering policies, nationwide, or else "tie up the country" through "means of civil disobedience." Dr. King intended to organize those legions into "coercive direct actions" that would make of Babylon a dysfunctional behemoth begging for relief. Is it any wonder he was killed?

• You can say on one hand the market is crazy but it's not 1999. People have had their medicine from overexuberance. I find it really interesting that those two businesses, Yahoo! and Google, which are just online advertising businesses, are valued at more than the media behemoths in America.

• As the corporation's size and power grew, so did the need to assuage people's fears of it. The corporation suffered its first full-blown legitimacy crisis in the wake of the early-twentieth-century merger movement, when, for the first time, many Americans realized that corporations, now turned behemoths, threatened to overwhelm their social institutions and governments.
