Divided Quotes - Page 4

• History has often showed us the strength of the forces that are unleashed by the yearning for freedom. It moved people to overcome their fears and openly confront dictators such as in East Germany and Eastern Europe about 22 years ago... The yearning for freedom cannot be contained by walls for long. It was this yearning that brought down the Iron Curtain that divided Germany and Europe, and indeed the world, into two blocs.

• A party should not contain utterly incongruous elements, radically divided on the real issues, and acting together only on false and dead issues insincerely painted as real and vital. It should not in the several States as well as in the Nation be prostituted to the service of the baser type of political boss. It should be so composed that there should be a reasonable agreement in the actions taken by it both in the Nation and in the several States. Judged by these standards, both of the old parties break down.

• The produce of the earth - all that is derived from its surface by the united application of labour, machinery, and capital, is divided among three classes of the community, namely, the proprietor of the land, the owner of the stock or capital necessary for its cultivation, and the labourers by whose industry it is cultivated.

• Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
  Equality of rights is a peculiar feature of democracies. These rights are properly divided into civil and political, though even these definitions are not to be taken as absolute, or as literally exact.

• La novela se ha convertido en una función de la sociedad fragmentada, de la conciencia fragmentada. Los seres humanos están tan divididos, cada vez más divididos y más subdivididos en sí mismos, reflejando el mundo, que buscan desesperadamente, sin saber que lo hacen, información sobre otros grupos dentro de su propio país, por no hablar de los grupos de otros países. Es una búsqueda ciega de su propia integridad, y la novela-informe es un medio para conseguirlo.

• Seguramente la prueba de los personajes de una novela es que sientas un gran interés por ellos y por sus asuntos: que los buenos tengan éxito, que los malos sufran el fracaso. Pues bien, en John Ward, no sientes ningún interés dividido, ningún interés discriminatorio, quieres que aterricen todos juntos en el infierno, y de inmediato.

• Cuando leo los epitafios de los bellos, todo deseo desordenado se apaga; cuando me encuentro con el dolor de los padres sobre una lápida, mi corazón se derrite de compasión; cuando veo la tumba de los propios padres, considero la vanidad de afligirnos por aquellos a quienes debemos seguir rápidamente: cuando veo reyes yaciendo junto a los que los depusieron, cuando considero a los ingenios rivales colocados uno al lado del otro, o a los santos varones que dividieron al mundo con sus contiendas y disputas, reflexiono con pena y asombro sobre las pequeñas competiciones, facciones y debates de la humanidad.

• Scilurus on his death-bed, being about to leave four-score sons surviving, offered a bundle of darts to each of them, and bade them break them. When all refused, drawing out one by one, he easily broke them, thus teaching them that if they held together, they would continue strong; but if they fell out and were divided, they would become weak.

• European society has always been divided into classes in a way that American society never has been. A European writer considers himself to be part of an old and honorable tradition--of intellectual activity, of letters--and his choice of a vocation does not cause him any uneasy wonder as to whether or not it will cost him all his friends. But this tradition does not exist in America.

• Season of Migration to the North, de Tayeb Salih, es un retrato elocuente y comedido del exilio de un hombre. Se trata de una narración poco común, ya que traza una vida dividida entre Inglaterra y Sudán. Sin duda, es una de las mejores novelas árabes del siglo XX, y la traducción de Denys Johnson-Davies hace justicia al original.
