Brutes Quotes - Page 15

• Es la simple verdad de que el hombre difiere de los brutos en especie y no en grado; y la prueba de ello está aquí; que suena a perogrullada decir que el hombre más primitivo hizo un dibujo de un mono y que suena a chiste decir que el mono más inteligente hizo un dibujo de un hombre. Ha aparecido algo de división y desproporción; y es único. El arte es la firma del hombre.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Arte, Inteligente, Único

• Cuando un viejo y un joven trabajan juntos, el espectáculo puede ser feo o bonito, dependiendo de quién esté al mando. Si el joven está al mando o no deja que el viejo tome el mando, la fuerza bruta del joven se vuelve destructiva e ineficaz, y la inteligencia del viejo, por frustración, se vuelve cruel e ineficaz. A veces el viejo olvida que es viejo e intenta competir con la fuerza del joven, y entonces es un espectáculo triste. O el joven se olvida de que es joven y discute con el viejo sobre cómo hacer el trabajo, y eso también es triste.

• Men should not labor foolishly like brutes, but the brain and the body should always, or as much as possible, work and rest together, and then the work will be of such a kind that when the body is hungry the brain will be hungry also, and the same food will suffice for both; otherwise the food which repairs the waste energy of the overwrought body will oppress the sedentary brain, and the degenerate scholar will come to esteem all food vulgar, and all getting a living drudgery.

  Henry David Thoreau

• Look at the Metropolitan Community Church today, the gay church, almost accepted into the World Council of Churches. Almost, the vote was against them. But they will try again and again until they get in, and the tragedy is that they would get one vote. Because they are spoken of here in Jude as being brute beasts, that is going to the baser lust of the flesh to live immorally, and so Jude describes this as apostasy. But thank God this vile and satanic system will one day be utterly annihilated and there'll be a celebration in heaven.

• It is rather an unpleasant fact, that the ugliest and awkwardest of brute animals have the greatest resemblance to man: the monkey and the bear. The monkey is ugly too (so we think) because he is like man--as the bear is awkward, because the cumbrous action of its huge paws seems to be a preposterous imitation of the motions of human hands. Men and apes are the only animals that have hairs on the under eye-lid. Let kings know this.

• La principal diferencia del hombre con respecto a los brutos radica en el exuberante exceso de sus propensiones subjetivas, su preeminencia sobre ellos simple y únicamente en el número y en el carácter fantástico e innecesario de sus necesidades, físicas, morales, estéticas e intelectuales. Si toda su vida no hubiera sido una búsqueda de lo superfluo, nunca se habría establecido tan inexpugnablemente como lo ha hecho en lo necesario.

• Un verdadero guerrero no lucha porque lo desee, sino porque tiene que hacerlo. Un hombre que anhela la guerra, un hombre que disfruta matando, es un bruto y un monstruo. Por mucha gloria que gane en el campo de batalla, eso no puede borrar el hecho de que no es mejor que un lobo rabioso que se volverá contra sus amigos y su familia tan pronto como contra sus enemigos.

• When under the influence of certain (or some) reasons (or causes) (alcohol, war, etc - added Spir here) the low instincts are unbridled (or unrestrained), the brute appears (or come forward, "apparait", Fr.) and rule over (or dominate), stifling every ("toute", Fr.) noble, generous impulse; it is then the ruin (or downfall or decline) of any humanity in man.
