Excuse Quotes - Page 9

• Cuando un ejercicio uniforme de bondad hacia los prisioneros por nuestra parte ha sido devuelto por una severidad igual de uniforme por parte de nuestros enemigos, debéis disculparme por decir que ya es hora, mediante otras lecciones, de enseñar a respetar los dictados de la humanidad; en tal caso, la represalia se convierte en un acto de benevolencia.

• Un hombre casado es responsable de todo, pase lo que pase. Las mujeres, gracias a que han estado oprimidas todos estos años, son inocentes, libres como pájaros, y toda la porquería que hacen es el resultado del síndrome premenstrual o del estrés postmenstrual o de la menopausia o de la falta de poder emocional de sus padres o de las bajas expectativas de sus profesores o del acoso sexual latente y tácito en el lugar de trabajo, o de alguna otra excusa aireada. El hombre es el único responsable de que cada día de matrimonio no sea maravilloso y significativo.

• A menudo me han pedido que sea justo y vea un asunto desde todos los ángulos. Así lo hice, con la esperanza de que algo pudiera mejorar si lo veía desde todos los ángulos. Pero el resultado era el mismo. Así que volví a ver las cosas desde un solo punto de vista, lo que me ahorró mucho trabajo y decepciones. Porque es reconfortante considerar que algo es malo y poder utilizar los propios prejuicios como excusa.

• Roosevelt could always keep ahead with his work, but I cannot do it, and I know it is a grievous fault, but it is too late to remedy it. The country must take me as it found me. Wasn't it your mother who had a servant girl who said it was no use for her to try to hurry, that she was a "Sunday chil" and no "Sunday chil" could hurry? I don't think I am a Sunday child, but I ought to have been; then I would have had an excuse for always being late.

• The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?

• La verdad es que, a pesar del duro trabajo y los malabarismos necesarios para mantener a flote las distintas facetas de una vida frenética, la "superwoman" tiene una maravillosa compensación. Estar ocupada y que te vean ocupada te libera. Te compra una salida a todos los aspectos de tus muchas funciones que desprecias en secreto, como limpiar armarios o entretener a los amigos de negocios de tu marido. Cuando combinas esposa, madre, carrera y todo eso, cada papel se convierte en la excusa perfecta para evitar los peores aspectos del otro.

• ... ningún joven de color en los Estados Unidos hoy en día puede ofrecer sinceramente como excusa para la falta de ambición o aspiración que los miembros de su raza han logrado tan poco, que él mismo se desanima de intentar algo. Porque apenas hay un campo del esfuerzo humano en el que se haya permitido entrar a la gente de color en el que no haya al menos un representante digno.

• Drama is hate. Drama is pushing your pain onto others. Drama is destruction. Some take pleasure in creating drama while others make excuses to stay stuck in drama. I choose not to step into a web of drama that I can't get out of.

• As children, women are encouraged to be "little ladies." Little ladies don't scream as vociferously as little boys, and they are chastised more severely for throwing tantrums or showing temper: "high spirits" are expected and therefore tolerated in little boys; docility and resignation are the corresponding traits expected of little girls. Now, we tend to excuse a show of temper by a man where we would not excuse an identical tirade from a woman: women are allowed to fuss and complain, but only a man can bellow in rage.

• Doing action, the thing is it's cool to watch it, and as a guy I like seeing it. With the romance thing it's something everyone can relate to. Once you have love as a motivator in a story, I think everyone can do anything. Once someone's in love they can do the craziest thing that no one's ever thought of. You have that excuse to do whatever you want.

• I'm keen to do as little or as much reading and watching as the director may advise, and often off that you kind of stem into other things that you find of influence, perhaps the things that you're watching. It's a good excuse to get to know a new profession, or a new approach, or a new era. It's about authenticity. It's about having the confidence to really feel that you're saturated and know the world you're about to step into and understand the person you're about to be.
