Continents Quotes - Page 8

• Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things. It is the quickest means of transportation to reach dimensions above or beyond the traps set by the so-called realists. It is a way to learn levitation and travel in liberated continents, to travel by moonlight as well as sunlight.

  Anais Nin

• I thought about the future, the oceans and continents he would cross, far away from everyone who knew and loved him. Far outside the sphere of his mothers prayers. Among the women of the future, there was one who would know his secrets and bear his children, and witness the changes the years worked on him. And it wouldnt be me. -Liberty Jones

• Thousand years ago, we all descended from Africans who left the continent. Those ancestors, we will never know their name. We can go back 200 or 300 years and actually populate your family tree with real people who had names and documents. They had customs, characteristics that, unbeknownst to you, you have inherited. Almost through osmosis it has been passed down to you.

• I meditate, and when I do, Prince Harry appears in my subconscious and meditates with me. It's a little strange but I don't think there's anything I can do about it. Sometimes he's not the only one; the other day it was me, Prince Harry, the Dalai Lama, Mr. Rogers, Coco the gorilla, and George Clooney. We were all floating above the earth looking down at the continents as they passed. George Clooney suggested I visit Providence, Rhode Island. The Dalai Lama sighed deeply and said he'd like to visit Tibet. Poor Dalai Lama.

• It is quite easy to understand what China would need from the African continent with regards to its own economy, raw materials, oil and a market for manufactured goods. As I say it is not difficulty to understand and perfectly legitimate. There is nothing wrong with that.

• Un distinguido filósofo ha dicho que Inglaterra "suele ser la última en entrar en el movimiento general de la mente europea". El autor de la observación probablemente quiso afirmar que un hombre o un sistema pueden haberse hecho famosos en el continente, mientras que nosotros casi ignoramos el nombre del hombre y las pretensiones de su sistema. Tal vez, sin embargo, se podría dar un alcance más amplio a la afirmación. Una teoría destruida o una práctica desventajosa, como un rebelde o un patriota en apuros, busca refugio en nuestras costas para pasar sus últimos días con comodidad, si no con esplendor.

• Inside the modern city, in spite of its nominal political unity, there are probably more communities, more differing customs, traditions, aspirations, and forms of government or control, than existed in an entire continent at an earlier epoch.

• No se puede depender sólo del mercado, porque el mercado dirá: China necesita petróleo; China necesita carbón; China necesita lo que sea, y África tiene todas estas cosas en abundancia. Y nosotros vamos allí y las conseguimos, y cuanto más desarrollemos la economía china, cuanto mayor sea la fabricación, más necesitaremos los mercados mundiales, venderlo a los africanos, lo que de hecho podría muy bien destruir cualquier industria incipiente que esté intentando desarrollarse en el continente. Eso es lo que haría el mercado.

• Between now and then, after 43 years of European marriage, the whole body of legislation will therefore have to be disentangled. That entails a whole range of specific and very complex questions: what will be the future legal status of the millions of EU citizens in the UK and the millions of Britons on the continent?

• There are billions of men in the world, probably millions near my age. Maybe hundreds who are compatible with me. Maybe at least a dozen who would want to date me. There's got to be at least five on the continent whom I could probably marry. So why am I so hung up on this one guy?

• Mientras los astronautas, héroes para siempre, pasaron apenas unas horas en la Luna, yo he permanecido en este nuevo mundo durante casi treinta años. Sé que mi hazaña es bastante ordinaria. No soy el único hombre que busca fortuna lejos de casa, y desde luego no soy el primero. Aun así, a veces me desconcierta cada milla que he recorrido, cada comida que he ingerido, cada persona que he conocido, cada habitación en la que he dormido. Por ordinario que parezca todo, hay veces en que va más allá de mi imaginación". (de "El tercer y último continente")

• Cuando la cantidad total de materia sólida transportada por los ríos en un determinado número de siglos desde un gran continente se reduzca a un cálculo aritmético, el resultado parecerá de lo más asombroso a aquellos... que no tengan el hábito de reflexionar sobre cuántas de las operaciones más poderosas de la naturaleza se efectúan insensiblemente, sin ruido ni desorden.

• Combinando en nuestro estudio toda la gama de depósitos, desde el grupo más reciente hasta el más antiguo, qué sucesión tan sorprendente presentan: tan variada y tan uniforme, tan vasta y tan conectada. Al remontarse así a los períodos más remotos de la historia física de nuestros continentes, un sistema de operaciones, como el medio por el cual muchas formaciones complejas se han producido sucesivamente, la mente se impresiona con la unicidad de las leyes de la naturaleza; y en este aspecto, al menos, la geología es apenas inferior en simplicidad a la astronomía.

• Amid all the revolutions of the globe, the economy of Nature has been uniform, ... and her laws are the only things that have resisted the general movement. The rivers and the rocks, the seas and the continents, have been changed in all their parts; but the laws which direct those changes, and the rules to which they are subject, have remained invariably the same.
