Communication Quotes - Page 34

• Por muy bruto que sea un hombre, en el momento en que expresa un afecto fuerte y genuino, alguna secreción interior altera sus rasgos, anima sus gestos y colorea su voz. El hombre más estúpido alcanza a menudo, bajo la tensión de la pasión, alturas de elocuencia, en pensamiento si no en lenguaje, y parece moverse en alguna esfera luminosa. La voz y los gestos de Goriot tenían en ese momento el poder de comunicación que caracteriza al gran actor. ¿No son acaso nuestros sentimientos más sutiles los poemas de la voluntad humana?

  Honore de Balzac

  Fuerte, Estrés, Mudanza

• Griffin leaned across the desk, his arms braced on the now-clear top, and stared into Wakefield’s outraged eyes. “We seem to be under a confusion of communication. I did not come here to ask for your sister’s hand. I came to tell you I will marry Hero, with or without your permission, Your Grace. She has lain with me more than once. She may well be carrying my child. And if you think that I’ll give up either her or our babe, you have not done nearly enough research into my character or history.

• Every form of strength is also a form of weakness,” he once wrote. “Pretty girls tend to become insufferable because, being pretty, their faults are too much tolerated. Possessions entrap men, and wealth paralyzes them. I learned to write because I am one of those people who somehow cannot manage the common communications of smiles and gestures, but must use words to get across things that other people would never need to say.

• Teaching, therefore, asks first of all the creation of a space where students and teachers can enter into a fearless communication with each other and allow their respective life experiences to be their primary and most valuable source of growth and maturation. It asks for a mutual trust in which those who teach and those who want to learn can become present to each other, not as opponents, but as those who share in the same struggle and search for the same truth.

• A los tecnócratas: Tened piedad de nosotros. Relajaos un poco, dedicad tiempo a los placeres sencillos. Por ejemplo, los lujos de la electricidad, la fontanería interior, la calefacción central, la comunicación electrónica instantánea, etc., me han enseñado a aprender de nuevo y a disfrutar de las satisfacciones humanas básicas de beber agua de un arroyo de montaña, de encender un fuego de leña en una estufa de hierro fundido, de aprovechar las largas noches de invierno para hacer música, hacer cosas, hacer el amor, de escribir largas cartas, a mano y con pluma estilográfica, a las pocas personas de esta tierra que realmente me importan.

• Redescubriría el secreto de las grandes comunicaciones y las grandes combustiones. Yo diría tormenta. Yo diría río. Yo diría tornado. Yo diría hoja. Diría árbol. Me empaparían todas las lluvias, me humedecerían todos los rocíos. Rodaría como sangre frenética en la corriente lenta del ojo de las palabras convertidas en caballos locos en niños frescos en coágulos en toque de queda en vestigios de templos en piedras preciosas lo bastante remotas como para desanimar a los mineros. Quien no me entendiera no entendería mejor el rugido de un tigre.

• When I read a novel that I really like, I feel as if I am in direct, personal communication with the author. I feel as if the author and I are on the same wavelength mentally, that we have a lot in common with each other, and that we could have an interesting conversation, or even a friendship, if the circumstances permitted it. When the novel comes to an end, I feel a certain letdown, a loss of contact. It is natural to want to recapture that feeling by reading other works by the same author, or by corresponding with him/her directly.

• Communication Was never big in my house. We sat together over dinner, but the only sound you'd hear was crunching and chewing and the little ones asking for more, please. We lived, all boxed up in invisible containers. We hardly knew the people we called sister or father. Jackie and I were the exceptions to that rule.
