Burglars Quotes - Page 3

• Si eres un ladrón, no sirve de nada esperar fuera de la casa de alguien, luciendo bien con tu bolsa de botín lista. Entra, roba y sal. Obviamente, no abogo por eso, es sólo una analogía.

  Ian Holloway

• Apoyo que la gente tenga un arma en público y punto, no sólo en su casa. No tenemos derecho a llevar armas por los ladrones; tenemos derecho a llevar armas para resistir el poder supremo de un gobierno corrupto y abusivo. No se trata de cazar patos; se trata de la capacidad del individuo. Es la misma razón por la que tenemos libertad de expresión.

• The vast results obtained by Science are won by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which are practicedby every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. A detective policeman discovers a burglar from the marks made by his shoe, by a mental process identical with that by which Cuvier restored the extinct animals of Montmartre from fragments of their bones.

• Put in hours and hours of planning, figure everything down to the last detail, then what? Burglar alarms start going off all overthe place for no sensible reason. A gun fires of its own accord and a man is shot. And a broken-down old house no good for anything but chasing kids has to trip over us. Blind accidents. What can you do against blind accidents?

  Ben Maddow

• El soldado está convencido de que se le concede un cierto plazo indefinidamente prorrogable antes de que lo maten, el ladrón antes de que lo atrapen, los hombres en general, antes de que deban morir. Ese es el amuleto que preserva a los individuos -y a veces a las poblaciones- no del peligro, sino del miedo al peligro, en realidad de la creencia en el peligro, que en algunos casos les permite afrontarlo sin ser valientes. Esa confianza, igual de infundada, sostiene al amante que cuenta con una reconciliación, con una carta.

• In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God's being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.

  Simone Weil

• What advice would I give the average homeowner to protect himself against burglars? Well, the first thing is to keep a light on in the house when you go out. It must be at least a sixty-watt bulb; anything less and the burglar will ransack the house, out of contempt for the wattage.

  Woody Allen

• Una niña prodigio de nueve años sale al escenario vestida de blanco. Empieza con un quejido lúgubre sobre una noche oscura y tormentosa, un ladrón, cuyo corazón es sincero, a pesar de su rostro malvado, que pone a la niña en peligro para salvar el joyero de su madre. Esto puede hacer llorar a cualquiera; a mí no me hace arder el corazón. Me gustaría quedarme serenamente y ver morir a esa horrible niña.

• Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board.
