Dark Room Quotes - Page 2

• The worst part of writing fiction is the fear of wasting your life behind a keyboard. The idea that, dying, you'll realize you only lived on paper. Your only adventures were make-believe, and while the world fought and kissed, you sat in some dark room masturbating and making money.

  Chuck Palahniuk

• An artist in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud, who stretches cords from steeple to steeple and garlands from window to window. There is in each of these human manifestations an expression of beauty which touches us and gives us a feeling of eternity.

  Eric Cantona

• Si hay alguna razón para señalar a los artistas como más necesarios para nuestras vidas que cualquier otro, es porque nos proporcionan una luz que no puede extinguirse. Entran en habitaciones oscuras y hurgan en sus almas hasta que los contornos de la nuestra nos resultan familiares.

  Phyllis Grissim-Theroux

• I feel more as if I'm shaping something with my hands. I feel as if I've always wanted to get to that state. Like a blind man in a dark room had some clay, what would he make? I end up with 2 or 3 forms on a canvas, but it gets very physical for me.

• Quizá la mejor forma de describir mi experiencia de las matemáticas sea como entrar en una mansión oscura. Entras en la primera habitación y está oscuro, completamente oscuro. Vas dando tumbos, chocando con los muebles. Poco a poco, aprendes dónde está cada mueble. Y finalmente, al cabo de seis meses más o menos, encuentras el interruptor de la luz y lo enciendes. De repente, todo está iluminado y puedes ver exactamente dónde estabas. Entonces entras en la siguiente habitación oscura.

• Read poems to yourself in the middle of the night. Turn on a single lamp and read them while you're alone in an otherwise dark room or while someone else sleeps next to you. Read them when you're wide awake in the early morning, fully alert. Say them over to yourself in a place where silence reigns and the din of the culture — the constant buzzing noise that surrounds us — has momentarily stopped. These poems have come from a great distance to find you.

• Pleasures are like photographs: in the presence of the person we love, we take only negatives, which we develop later, at home, when we have at our disposal once more our inner dark room, the door of which it is strictly forbidden to open while others are present.

• Dios se mueve de forma extremadamente misteriosa, por no decir tortuosa. Dios no juega a los dados con el universo; juega a un juego inefable de su propia invención, que podría compararse, desde la perspectiva de cualquiera de los otros jugadores, es decir, todo el mundo, a estar involucrado en una versión oscura y compleja de póquer en una habitación muy oscura, con cartas en blanco, para apuestas infinitas, con un distribuidor que no le dirá las reglas, y que sonríe todo el tiempo.

• Olvidarte de ti mismo es el mayor perjuicio; de él se derivan todas las calamidades. Ocúpate de lo más importante, lo menos importante se ocupará de sí mismo. No se ordena una habitación oscura. Primero abre las ventanas. Dejar entrar la luz lo hace todo más fácil. Así que esperemos a mejorar a los demás hasta que nos veamos tal y como somos y hemos cambiado. No hay necesidad de dar vueltas y vueltas en interminables cuestionamientos; encuéntrate a ti mismo y todo caerá en su lugar.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

• I look at myself as an audience member. I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.

• In the dark room a cloud of yellow dust flew from beneath the tool like a scatter of sparks from under the hooves of a galloping horse. The twin wheels turned and hummed. Binet was smiling, his chin down, his nostrils distended. He seemed lost in the kind of happiness which, as a rule, accompanies only those mediocre occupations that tickle the intelligence with easy difficulties, and satisfy it with a sense of achievement beyond which there is nothing left for dreams to feed on.

• El estado de ánimo de un luchador es muy importante. No me gusta ver a un luchador encerrado en una habitación. A veces va en su contra. Piensan y se preocupan. Viven sentados en esa habitación oscura. Vuelves y ya están mentalizados. Me gusta ver a los boxeadores comer y luego pasear, mezclarse con la gente. Tienes que tener una cierta cantidad de movimiento.

• I don't want dead paint, so I test many of my works by studying them in a dark room at twilight or even after dark to check the luminosity. If the darker forms still have resonance and luminosity, I know the painting's working.

• I'd still thought that everything I thought about that night-the shame, the fear-would fade in time. But that hadn't happened. Instead, the things that I remembered, these little details, seemed to grow stronger, to the point where I could feel their weight in my chest. Nothing, however stuck with me more than the memory of stepping into that dark room and what I found there, and how the light then took that nightmare and made it real.

• The idea of going to the movies made Hugo remember something Father had once told him about going to the movies when he was just a boy, when the movies were new. Hugo's father had stepped into a dark room, and on a white screen he had seen a rocket fly right into the eye of the man in the moon. Father said he had never experienced anything like it. It had been like seeing his dreams in the middle of the day.

• Rose had the sort of eyes that manage perfectly well with things close by, but entirely blur out things far away. Because of this even the brightest stars had only appeared as silvery smudges in the darkness. In all her life, Rose had never properly seen a star. Tonight there was a sky full. Rose looked up, and it was like walking into a dark room and someone switching on the universe.

• Si, al pensar esto, miro hacia arriba para ver si la realidad puede saciar mi sed, veo fachadas inexpresivas, rostros inexpresivos, gestos inexpresivos. Piedras, cuerpos, ideas, todos muertos. Todos los movimientos son un gran estancamiento. Nada significa nada para mí, no porque no me sea familiar, sino porque no sé lo que es. El mundo se me ha escapado. Y en el fondo de mi alma -como única realidad de este momento- hay una pena intensa e invisible, una tristeza como el sonido de alguien que llora en una habitación oscura.

  Fernando Pessoa

• You sleep like an angel" Jacks said. The shock of his words in the dark room sent Maddy's stomach leaping into her throat. She didn't even realize she had screamed until it came out of her mouth. "Don't be frightened," Jacks said, sounding worried. "It's just me. I'm sorry, I so didn't mean for that to sound creepy. Let me start over.
