Deserving Quotes - Page 8

• When social movements engage in legal reform, they often mobilize images of people from their constituent population who most match national norms about what "deserving citizens" are like, and use those people as spokespeople and as lead plaintiffs in legal cases. This strategy requires that people who are experiencing intersectional harm - who are vulnerable through multiple vectors of demonization and marginalization - be further marginalized and disappeared by the advocacy.

• Entre los escritores de todas las épocas, algunos merecen la fama, y la tienen; otros ni la tienen ni la merecen; algunos la tienen, sin merecerla; otros, aunque la merecen, la pierden totalmente, o no la tienen a la altura de sus merecimientos.

• We cannot say to one couple that their love is deserving of marriage and to another that their love should only be called a partnership. 'Separate but equal' is never equal. Children of same-sex couples should not grow up wondering why their family is treated differently from other families

• A man is not expected to love his country, lest he make an ass of himself. Yet our country, seen through the mists of smog, is curiously lovable, in somewhat the way an individual who has got himself into an unconscionable scrape seems lovable - or at least deserving of support.

• The chief arguments that are urged against an established religion, may be used with equal force against an established charity. The dissenter submits, that no party has a right to compel him to contribute to the support of doctrines, which do not meet his approbation. The rate-payer may as reasonably argue, that no one is justified in forcing him to subscribe towards the maintenance of persons, whom he does not consider deserving of relief.

• Molly Notkin often confides on the phone to Joelle van Dyne about the one tormented love of Nokin's life thus far, an erotically circumscribed G.W. Pabst scholar at New York University tortured by the neurotic compulsion that there are only a finite number of erections possible in the world at any one time and that his tumescence means e.g. the detumescence of some perhaps more deserving or tortured Third World sorghum farmer.

• No se tienen en cuenta en absoluto los intereses de las "plagas"; la propia palabra "plaga" parece excluir cualquier preocupación por los propios animales. Pero la clasificación de "plaga" es la nuestra, y un conejo que es una plaga es tan capaz de sufrir, y tan merecedor de consideración, como un conejo blanco que es un querido animal de compañía.

• If we accept all that is wrong about us - and despite it, believe that we are deserving of a happy life - then we will have thrown open an immense window that will allow love to enter.

• The question we should be asking is not why people are sometimes cruel, or even why a few people are usually cruel (all evidence suggests true sadists are an extremely small proportion of the population overall), but how we have come to create institutions that encourage such behavior and that suggest cruel people are in some ways admirable-or at least as deserving of sympathy as those they push around.

• UN DESORDEN EN EL VESTIDO
  Enciende en la ropa un desenfreno :
  Un césped sobre los hombros tirado
  En una fina distracción :
  Un encaje errante que aquí y allá
  embellece el vientre carmesí:
  Un puño descuidado, y por lo tanto
  Lazos que fluyen confusamente :
  Una ola ganadora
  En la enagua tempestuosa :
  Un cordón de zapato descuidado, en cuyo lazo
  Veo una urbanidad salvaje :
  Me hechizan más que cuando el arte
  Es demasiado preciso en cada parte.

• It seems to me that the least deserving recipients of wealth are inheritors. Further, there are many indications that inheritors often have trouble adjusting to their unearned inheritance. An inheritance tax would de facto help remedy this.

• Being thus prepared for us in all ways, and made beautiful, and good for food, and for building, and for instruments of our hands, this race of plants, deserving boundless affection and admiration from us, becomes, in proportion to their obtaining it, a nearly perfect test of our being in right temper of mind and way of life; so that no one can be far wrong in either who loves trees enough, and everyone is assuredly wrong in both who does not love them, if his life has brought them in his way.

• Anguish of mind has driven thousands to suicide; anguish of body, none. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either of them receive.

• I've always believed fitness is an entry point to help you build that happier, healthier life. When your health is strong, you're capable of taking risks. You'll feel more confident to ask for the promotion. You'll have more energy to be a better mom. You'll feel more deserving of love.

• Si todos los pecados de la carne son dignos de condenación porque por ellos el hombre se deja dominar por lo que tiene de naturaleza animal, mucho más dignos de condenación son los pecados contra natura por los que el hombre degrada su propia naturaleza animal.

• No es cierto, en efecto, que la prudencia más refinada encuentre el momento oportuno para hacer conocer a un hombre sus propias faltas, ni que la benevolencia más celosa le reconcilie con aquel juicio por el que son detectadas; pero el que sólo procura la felicidad de aquel a quien reprende tendrá siempre la satisfacción de obtener o de merecer la bondad; si tiene éxito, beneficia a su amigo; y si fracasa, tiene al menos la conciencia de que sufre sólo por hacer el bien.

• So whom does God wrong in commanding the destruction of the Canaanites? Not the Canaanite adults, for they were corrupt and deserving of judgment. Not the children, for they inherit eternal life. So who is wronged? Ironically, I think the most difficult part of this whole debate is the apparent wrong done to the Israeli soldiers themselves. Can you imagine what it would be like to have to break into some house and kill a terrified woman and her children? The brutalising effect on these Israeli soldiers is disturbing.
