Blind Quotes - Page 22

• On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn't the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

• But I often think we talk way too much in this society, that we consider verbalization a panacea that it very often is not, and that we turn a blind eye to the sort of morbid self-absorption that becomes a predictable by-product of it.

• A la gente le gusta inventar monstruos y monstruosidades. Así ellos mismos parecen menos monstruosos. Cuando se emborrachan, engañan, roban, pegan a sus mujeres, matan de hambre a una anciana, cuando matan con un hacha a un zorro atrapado o acribillan a flechazos al último unicornio que queda, les gusta pensar que el Demonio que entra en las casas de campo al amanecer es más monstruoso que ellos. Entonces se sienten mejor. Les resulta más fácil vivir.

• I never thought of it like that. I always thought of you as a part of me, like my own eyes or my own hands. You don't go around thinking 'I love my eyes, I love my hands', do you? But think what it would be like to live without your eyes or your hands. To be mad, or to be blind. I can't talk about it. It's how I feel.

• A good novel is one that shows the complexity of individuals, and creates enough space for all these characters to have a voice; in this way a novel is called democratic - not that it advocates democracy but that by nature it is so. Empathy lies at the heart of Gatsby, like so many other great novels - the biggest sin is to be blind to others' problems and pains. Not seeing them means denying their existence.

• No one can survive childhood without being wounded. Everyone remembers at least one time when their parents rejected them, pushed them away, even though they may have still been in the womb, blind, and unable to speak. That's why, as adults, we all look for someone to become our parents again, and for someone to look after us in times of need. And we search for a person to live with who can provide the companionship we so desperately want.

• ¿Y cómo se portó el pequeño Tim? -preguntó la señora Cratchit, cuando hubo reanimado a Bob en su credulidad y éste hubo abrazado a su hija hasta saciarse. "Tan bien como el oro", dijo Bob, "y mejor. De alguna manera se vuelve pensativo, sentado tanto tiempo solo, y piensa las cosas más extrañas que jamás hayas oído. Al volver a casa me dijo que esperaba que la gente lo viera en la iglesia, porque era un tullido, y que les resultaría agradable recordar el día de Navidad a quien hizo andar a los mendigos cojos y ver a los ciegos.

• Unicorns are not to be forgiven." The magician felt himself growing giddy with jealousy, not only of the touch but of something like a secret that was moving between Molly and the unicorn. "Unicorns are for beginnings," he said, "for innocence and purity, for newness. Unicorns are for young girls." Molly was stroking the unicorn's throat as timidly as though she were blind. She dried her grimy tears on the white mane. "You don't know much about unicorns," she said.

• I've never thought of you like that,' said Christopher. 'How could I? If you were any other woman, I could tell you I loved you, easily enough, but not you-- because you've always seemed to me like a part of myself, and it would be like saying I loved my own eyes or my own mind. But have you ever thought of what it would be to have to live without your mind or your eyes, Kate? To be mad? Or blind?

• Los zombis huelen peor que cualquier cosa que puedas imaginar si no has estado cazando cosas en el lado oscuro del mundo. Es un olor maduro y gaseoso, como a huevos podridos y carne en mal estado, lleno de gusanos. Es un olor a atropello, a comida podrida y a olor corporal, todo en el mismo paquete y atado con vómito.
