Best Intentions Quotes - Page 3

• Aestheticism and radicalism must lead us to jettison reason, and to replace it by a desperate hope for political miracles. This irrational attitude which springs from intoxication with dreams of a beautiful world is what I call Romanticism. It may seek its heavenly city in the past or in the future; it may preach 'back to nature' or 'forward to a world of love and beauty'; but its appeal is always to our emotions rather than to reason. Even with the best intentions of making heaven on earth it only succeeds in making it a hell - that hell which man alone prepares for his fellow-men.

• It cannot be denied that Fascism and similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships are full of the best intentions and that their intervention has, for the moment, saved European civilization. The merit that Fascism has thereby won for itself will live on eternally in history.

• What is called chance is the instrument of Providence and the secret agent that counteracts what men call wisdom, and preserves order and regularity, and continuation in the whole, for ... I firmly believe, notwithstanding all our complaints, that almost every person upon earth tastes upon the totality more happiness than misery; and therefore if we could correct the world to our fancies, and with the best intentions imaginable, probably we should only produce more misery and confusion.

• Like stories, people have individual lives, and are all caught up in this murky thing. All of them have the best intentions. In that sense, you could just as easily tell the same story from another character's perspective. Maybe that's a good idea for a TV series.

• Sólo puedo pensar seriamente en intentar vivir de acuerdo con un ideal, en mejorarme a mí mismo, si estoy dividido en dos partes. Tiene que haber un "yo" bueno que mejore al "yo" malo. El "yo", que tiene las mejores intenciones, se pondrá a trabajar en el "yo" rebelde, y la lucha entre los dos acentuará mucho la diferencia entre ellos. En consecuencia, el "yo" se sentirá más separado que nunca, y así no hará más que aumentar los sentimientos de soledad y aislamiento que hacen que el "yo" se comporte tan mal.

• The messages our kids receive from teachers, coaches--and even, with the best intentions, from us - can push them toward pride or despair...toward self-righteousness or self-hatred.

• Amity Gaige has written a flawless book. It does not contain a single false note. Playful and inventive, SCHRODER movingly depicts the ways we confound our own hearts--how even with the best intentions, we fail to love those closest to us as well as we wish we could. Eric Schroder should take his place among the most charismatic and memorable characters in contemporary fiction, and Amity Gaige her place among the most talented and impressive writers working today.

• Cuando tengas un pensamiento que no esté alineado con tu visión más elevada, ¡cambia a un nuevo pensamiento! En ese momento. Cuando digas algo que no está alineado con tu mejor idea, toma nota de no volver a decir algo así. Cuando hagas algo que esté desalineado con tu mejor intención, decide que esa sea la última vez. Y, si puedes, haz las paces con la persona implicada.

• En cuanto a cómo se desarrolló la música, fue mi proceso normal, que yo diría que es realmente un proceso híbrido de bocetos en trozos de papel, tocar el piano, tocar sintetizadores, usar el ordenador, mirar por la ventana, encontrar cosas que había olvidado, accidentes felices, planes fallidos, mejores intenciones, fallos del equipo. Es un proceso multidimensional que incorpora mucha planificación e intención y mucho azar. En última instancia, la mayor parte del tiempo sigo el material hacia donde quiere ir.
