Citas de configuración

• El Universo era un lugar absurdo en el mejor de los casos... pero la explicación menos probable era la no-explicación del azar, la idea de que algo abstracto "por casualidad" eran átomos que "por casualidad" se juntaban de forma que "por casualidad" parecían leyes coherentes y algunas configuraciones "por casualidad" tenían conciencia de sí mismas y que dos "por casualidad" eran el Hombre de Marte y un viejo calvo con Jubal dentro.

• Una cultura puede concebirse como una red de creencias y propósitos en la que cualquier hilo de la red tira y es tirado por los demás,cambiando así perpetuamente la configuración del conjunto. Si el elemento cultural llamado moral adopta una nueva forma, debemos preguntarnos qué otras cuerdas han tirado de él. No puede ser una sola cuerda, ni siquiera las cuerdas cercanas, pues la red es, como mínimo, tridimensional.

• Reality has been around since long before you showed up. Don't go calling it nasty names like 'bizarre' or 'incredible'. The universe was propagating complex amplitudes through configuration space for ten billion years before life ever emerged on Earth. Quantum physics is not 'weird'. You are weird.

• Caía la noche. Los pájaros cantaban. Se me ocurrió decir que los pájaros estaban celebrando frenéticamente el final del día. Se manifestaban como las terminaciones nerviosas de colores brillantes de la Tierra, el descenso del sol las impulsaba a la actividad, las llenaba individualmente de néctar de vida, el néctar de vida pasaba luego al mundo, salía de cada pico, en forma del canto distintivo de ese pájaro, que era, a su vez, un accidente de la forma del pico, la forma de la garganta, la configuración del pecho, la química del cerebro: algunos pájaros bendecían la voz, otros maldecían; algunos chirriaban, otros se extasiaban.

• No matter how children came to be living with just one parent, they need to be told, again and again, that your family's configuration is the result of an adult decision or an act of fate that has nothing whatsoever to do with them.

• This decade is strewn with examples of bright people who thought they built a better mousetrap that could consistently extract abnormal returns from the financial markets. Some succeed for a time. But while there may occasionally be mis-configurations among market prices that allow abnormal returns, they do not persist.

• I became interested in the delay, having sounds recorded and played back and then come back. I did many different configurations of sending signals from one track back to another track, or to the same track, or crisscrossing them and so forth. I worked on masking the delays so when I played into the machine, I would make long tones and collect sounds in such a way that you didn't hear the delay, although sometimes you did.

• If you are engaging rationality, you are already engaging a place that makes you unavailable. Only when I recognize that inspiration has announced itself to my availability will I then say I need to use my mind to calculate exposure, my emotions to position myself and arrange a configuration of shapes that need to come into being, my body to put it all in place because we have been given a message and it has come through inspiration through being available.'

• There is no beginning and there is no end. Nothing is final. There is no absolute. There is no highest point, nor is there a lowest point. These configurations are ideas. Ideas are primitive constructs, symbolic representations, reflections in a mirror.

• La fusión del complejo militar-industrial, el estado de vigilancia y el poder corporativo desenfrenado apunta a la necesidad de estrategias que aborden lo específico del actual estado de guerra y vigilancia y el proyecto neoliberal y cómo los diferentes intereses, modos de poder, relaciones sociales, pedagogías públicas y configuraciones económicas se unen para dar forma a su política.

• The notion of the enduring authority focuses on the fact that some people think that notions like authority of Scripture's is passé, while others say that the present configuration of the doctrine of inerrancy is a late addition. And to both we want to say, No we're talking about the enduring authority of Scripture, grounded first and foremost in its relevatory status, something given by God and utterly reliable.

• I was out in California over the holidays and I was working with some photographs I took out there just now, actually, which were all different photographs of the sunset. They're really interesting because El Niño has changed the cloud configuration, not only the sea, but also the whole makeup of the clouds, the sunset, and the different gradations of color and tonality. So it'll be interesting to work with that.

• A shudder runs through the viewer of old photographs. For they make visible not the knowledge of the original but the spatial configuration of a moment; what appears in the photograph is not the person but the sum of what can be subtracted from him or her.

• There are over a million types of fish in the sea as there are flowers in all of the world's gardens. There are at least a million different types of rocks/minerals as there are species of birds or monkeys. To believe we are the only "intelligent beings" on this earth and beyond is ignorance. The possible configurations of lifeforms that could be created from a single atom are infinite. There are at least a billion people on this earth, and no two faces look the same. It is very arrogant to assume that we have seen all of God's miracles.

• People think that the art market is about opportunists and hedge-fund managers getting broken art, but what really happened is that there was a new configuration of bourgeois values in the U.S. and an acceptance among the bourgeoisie of contemporary art as an idea. I think that bourgeois people are horrible.
