Categorizing Quotes

• Categorizar es necesario para los seres humanos, pero se convierte en algo patológico cuando la categoría se considera definitiva, lo que impide a las personas tener en cuenta la borrosidad de los límites, y mucho menos revisar sus categorías.

• Normally we divide the external world into that which we consider to be good or valuable, bad or worthless, or neither. Most of the time these discriminations are incorrect or have little meaning. For example, our habitual way of categorizing people as friends, enemies, and strangers depending on how they make us feel is both incorrect and a great obstacle to developing impartial love for all living beings. Rather than holding so tightly to our discriminations of the external world, it would be much more beneficial if we learned to discriminate between valuable and worthless states of mind.

• If we respect students abilities to define their own experiences, to generate their own hypotheses, and to discover new ways of categorizing the world, we might not be so quick to evaluate the adequacy of their answers. We might, instead, begin listening to their questions. Out of the questions of students come some of the most creative ideas and discoveries.

• People are tied together and yet isolated from each other by invisible threads of rhythm and hidden walls of time. Time is... a primary organizer of all activities, a synthesizer and integrator, a way of handling priorities and categorizing experience, a feedback mechanism for how things are going, a measuring rod against which competence, effort, and achievement are judged as well as a special message system revealing how people really feel about each other and whether or not they can get along.

  Edward T. Hall

• There were a lot of apocalypses that didn't make it into this assemblage because they didn't suit the world. And defining that world and figuring out what its wobbly borders were was a long-term and exhaustive process. I had all of these different ways of categorizing the apocalypses I had made. I had a period of time where I cut them up.

• Las técnicas son todos los medios para hacer frente a una idea simple: Ella lo escribió. (Es decir, la persona "equivocada" -en este caso, mujer- ha creado el valor "correcto", es decir, el arte).
  Negación de la agencia: Ella no lo escribió.
  Contaminación de la agencia: No debería haberlo escrito.
  Doble rasero del contenido: Sí, pero mira sobre qué ha escrito.
  Falsa categorización: Ella no es realmente ella [una artista] y eso no es realmente eso [serio, del género adecuado, estéticamente sólido, importante, etc.], así que ¿cómo podría "ella" haber escrito "eso"?
  O simplemente: Ni "ella" ni "eso" existen (exclusión simple).
