Broken Glass Quotes - Page 2

• You were just a boy on a bed in a room, like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of broken glass. But the way I saw you was pieces refracting the light, shifting into an infinite universe of flowers and rainbows and insects and planets, magical dividing cells, pictures no one else knew.

• The ideological are individuals ultimately swamped by the complexities of modern life and political and economic relations; they have deliberately attached themselves to some caricatural maven like Falwell or Limbaugh who speaks to their manipulable pathos. The gulf between such individuals' education or intellectual competence or information and the actual issues of our times is simply too great. They were bred to be culture-media for false consciousness, junkies who crawl on their bellies across broken glass for another hit of "clarifying wisdom" from some ideological Pope.

• Me pregunto entre estos miles de "yo", ¿cuál soy yo? Escucha mi grito, no ahogues mi voz estoy completamente lleno con el pensamiento de ti. No pongas cristales rotos en mi camino que los haré polvo. No soy nada, sólo un espejo en la palma de tu mano, reflejando tu bondad, tu tristeza, tu ira. Si fueras una brizna de hierba o una flor diminuta levantaría mi tienda a tu sombra. Sólo tu presencia reaviva mi corazón marchito. Eres la vela que ilumina el mundo entero y yo soy un recipiente vacío para tu luz. Rumi - Música oculta
