Carnage Quotes - Page 3

• Kathryn Bigelow is a really good example of somebody that has maintained her truth and she makes the films she wants to make and she hasn't let other people affect her too much. Her last film is to me so inspiring and the way she sees war, the way she set up those really intimate relationships in and amongst this carnage.

• The first things I remember drawing were battles - big sheets of paper covered in terrible scenes of carnage - though when you looked closely there were little jokes and speech bubbles and odd things going on in the background.

• I'm optimistic about our future as a party. It's about winning. The Democratic Party, if I had to do one word: winning. We need to win elections, because one thing I've learned is that when Democrats win good things happen to a lot of folks, and when we don't do so hot, we see a lot of chaos and carnage.

• There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I.

• En la última hora se han producido los acontecimientos más terribles e impactantes en los Estados Unidos de América... Me temo que sólo podemos imaginar el terror y la carnicería allí y las muchas, muchas personas inocentes que habrán perdido la vida... Está perpetrado por fanáticos que son totalmente indiferentes a la santidad de la vida humana y nosotros, las democracias de este mundo, vamos a tener que unirnos para luchar juntos y erradicar este mal por completo de nuestro mundo.

• Todo el horror de lo que ha ocurrido en Estados Unidos esta mañana está cada vez más claro. Es difícil incluso contemplar la carnicería y el terror absolutos en que se han visto sumidas tantas personas inocentes. Hemos ofrecido al Presidente Bush y al pueblo estadounidense nuestra solidaridad, nuestra profunda simpatía y nuestras oraciones. Pero es evidente que ciudadanos de muchos países de todo el mundo, incluida Gran Bretaña, se habrán visto envueltos en este terror.

• The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors, and jails for the people who break them ... It does not allow for the health of our families, the quality of thier education, or the joy of their play.

• From where I sit, battles are hard. I’ve written my share. Sometimes I employ the private’s viewpoint, very up close and personal, dropping the reader right into the middle of the carnage. That’s vivid and visceral, but of necessity chaotic, and it is easy to lose all sense of the battle as a whole. Sometimes I go with the general’s point of view instead, looking down from on high, seeing lines and flanks and reserves. That gives a great sense of the tactics, of how the battle is won or lost, but can easily slide into abstraction.

• Becoming a vegetarian is not merely a symbolic gesture. Nor is it an attempt to isolate oneself from the ugly realities of the world, to keep oneself pure and so without responsibility for the cruelty and carnage all around. Becoming a vegetarian is a highly practical and effective step one can take toward ending both the killing of nonhuman animals and the infliction of suffering on them.

• To the mind which looks not to general results in the economy of Nature, the earth may seem to present a scene of perpetual warfare, and incessant carnage: but the more enlarged view, while it regards individuals in their conjoint relations to the general benefit of their own species, and that of other species with which they are associated in the great family of Nature, resolves each apparent case of individual evil, into an example of subserviency to universal good.

• The Jehovah of the Jews is a suspicious tyrant, who breathes nothing but blood, murder, and carnage, and who demands that they should nourish him with the vapours of animals. The Jupiter of the Pagans is a lascivious monster. The Moloch of the Phoenicians is a cannibal. The pure mind of the Christians resolved, in order to appease his fury, to crucify his own son. The savage god of the Mexicans cannot be satisfied without thousands of mortals which are immolated to his sanguinary appetite.

• Annabeth’s shoulders ached. The elevator’s easy-listening music didn’t help. If all monsters had to hear that song about liking piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, no wonder they were in the mood for carnage when they reached the mortal world.

• The publisher, Jeff Johnson, who has offered not a word of explanation to me, has privately told people that he hated every word that I wrote. I assume that mostly refers to my exposing the lies used by President Bush to justify the invasion of Iraq. Fortunately sixty percent of Americans now get the point, but only after tens of thousand of Americans and Iraqis have been killed and maimed as the carnage spirals out of control. My only regret is that my pen was not sharper and my words tougher.

• Sí, el inversor es a menudo su peor enemigo. Sí, el coloso del marketing conocido como el sector de los fondos de inversión proporciona el armamento que permite a los inversores dar rienda suelta a sus instintos suicidas. No, el sector de los fondos no fue un espectador inocente en el auge del mercado y la matanza posterior. "Hemos conocido al enemigo y somos nosotros"... todos nosotros.

• El Día de la Madre fue en realidad, en su origen, un día contra la guerra, una declaración contra la guerra. Julia Ward Howe estaba asqueada por lo que había ocurrido durante la Guerra Civil, la pérdida de vidas, la carnicería, y creó el Día de la Madre como un llamamiento a las mujeres de todo el mundo para que se unieran y crearan formas de protestar contra la guerra, de crear una especie de gobierno alternativo que finalmente pudiera acabar con la guerra como forma aceptable de resolver los conflictos.

• In deference to such spectacular carnage it is perhaps perverse to dwell upon one person's death, but we are creatures so constituted that the passing of one friend or one acquaintance has a profounder effect that that of 100,000 strangers. If there is any metaphorical truth in the Jewish proverb that he who saves one life saves the whole world, then there is equal metaphorical truth in the proposition that when one person dies, the whole world dies with them.

• Si queremos mantener la libertad, debemos tener caridad: caridad para con los demás, caridad para con nosotros mismos, arrastrándonos desde los húmedos hornos de un mundo humeante, llevando todavía el equipo pasional de nuestros feroces antepasados, emergiendo de la negra superstición entre carnicerías y atrocidades a nuestro peligroso presente.
