Contagious Quotes - Page 4

• Fear breeds upon itself because it is a hermaphrodite capable of endless reproduction. Fear is a contagious disease, spreading from its first victim to others in the vicinity until it is powerful enough to take charge of a group, in which event it becomes panic. Fear is the afterbirth of reason and calculation. It takes time to recuperate from fear.

• La danza insiste en que ocupemos un espacio y, aunque no tiene una dirección fija, vamos juntos hacia ella. La danza es peligrosa, alegre, sexual, sagrada, perturbadora y contagiosa, y rompe las reglas. Puede ocurrir en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento, con cualquiera y con todos, y es gratis. La danza nos une y nos empuja a ir más allá y por eso está en el centro de ONE BILLION RISING.

• No vamos a cambiar el mundo entero, pero podemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos y sentirnos libres como pájaros. Podemos estar serenos incluso en medio de las calamidades y, con nuestra serenidad, hacer que los demás estén más tranquilos. La serenidad es contagiosa. Si sonreímos a alguien, él o ella nos devolverá la sonrisa. Y una sonrisa no cuesta nada. Debemos contagiar alegría a todo el mundo. Si vamos a morir dentro de un minuto, ¿por qué no morir felices, riendo? (136-137)
