Factories Quotes - Page 21

• A modern factory reaches perhaps almost the limit of horror. Everybody in it is constantly harassed and kept on edge by the interference of extraneous wills while the soul is left in cold desolate misery. What man needs is silence and warmth; what he is given is an icy pandemonium. Physical labor may be painful, but it is not degrading as such. It is not art; it is not science; it is something else, possessing an exactly equal value with art and science, for it provides an equal opportunity to reach the impersonal stage of attention.

• En mi principio está mi fin. En sucesión Las casas se levantan y caen, se desmoronan, se extienden, se eliminan, se destruyen, se restauran, o en su lugar Hay un campo abierto, o una fábrica, o una carretera de circunvalación. Vieja piedra a nuevo edificio, vieja madera a nuevos fuegos, Viejos fuegos a cenizas, y cenizas a la tierra Que ya es carne, piel y heces, Hueso de hombre y bestia, tallo de maíz y hoja.

• The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and comcribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent.

• The press heralded this as a major accomplishment. The rush from the press as soon as it was announced suggested a high level of coordination. Like lemmings in a staged dive off a cliff, 'historic' became the media's rallying cry. There is nothing historic about the deal. In fact, news reports from November 2012 noted that China expected, in 2012, that its carbon emissions would begin to decline after 2030 because of factory upgrades, efficiencies, etc.

• Zalasiewicz is convinced that even a moderately competent stratigrapher will, at the distance of a hundred million years or so, be able to tell that something extraordinary happened at the moment in time that counts for us as today. This is the case even though a hundred million years from now, all that we consider to be the great works of man—the sculptures and the libraries, the monuments and the museums, the cities and the factories—will be compressed into a layer of sediment not much thicker than a cigarette paper.

• The life of an aviator seemed to me ideal. It involved skill. It brought adventure. It made use of the latest developments of science. Mechanical engineers were fettered to factories and drafting boards while pilots have the freedom of wind with the expanse of sky. There were times in an aeroplane when it seemed I had escaped mortality to look down on earth like a God.

• Astolaine Bombast, catalogue woman, ordered up like a rare steak, 'plees make shore she is pritty and a whyt gurl if you have enny'.Well, she's pritty enough for homesteading but takes no ribbons at the fair. After three dead babies that fellow wanted his money back, pack her up in a box and ship her east to the wife factory.

• When I was twenty-one, a friend gave me a book called Diet for a New America by John Robbins, which exposed the brutal practices of American factory farms. That, coupled with a lecture from Leonardo DiCaprio (when he was nineteen and I was twenty-one) about how such animals are kept and processed, made me lose my desire for factory farm pork and beef right there.

• The smell of factory farms . . . many notice these places only when the odours reach their homes, affecting their own quality of life. We create these animals for our profit and pleasure, playing with their genes, violating their dignity as living creatures, forcing them to lie and live in their own urine and excrement, turning pens into penitentiaries and frustrating their every desire except what is needed to keep them breathing and breeding. And then we complain about the smell.

• One day the factory sports coach, who was very strict, pointed at four boys, including me, and ordered us to run in a race. I protested that I was weak and not fit to run, but the coach sent me for a physical examination and the doctor said that I was perfectly well. So I had to run, and when I got started I felt I wanted to win. But I only came in second. That was the way it started.

• A medida que el lugar de trabajo se especializa, desde oficinas a centros médicos o fábricas, los equipos de personas deben realizar su trabajo colaborando entre sí. En mi trabajo en el cine, necesitamos personas con talento y conocimientos técnicos, pero su capacidad para comunicarse y trabajar con los demás es igual de valiosa.

• The Oldfields of the future are beyond hearing; they are shut up in the factories and the workshops, leading a rackety and mechanical existence, to the damage of their bodies and the peril of their souls, for the sake of an extra pound or so a week, which they promptly spend on mental or physical narcotics.

• En la gran fábrica de perfeccionamiento de las almas humanas, la Tierra era una especie de secadora. La venta del tipo que la gente usa para pulir rocas. Todas las almas vienen aquí a frotarse los bordes afilados. Esto no es sufrimiento. Es erosión.

• Y con el tiempo será como si los hombres nunca hubieran llegado a este rincón perfecto del mundo, nunca lo hubieran llamado el paraíso en la tierra, nunca lo hubieran despojado con sus fábricas de sueños; y en el silencio dorado de la tarde todo lo que se oirá será el revoloteo de las libélulas y el murmullo de los colibríes cuando pasen de enramada en enramada, buscando un lugar para cenar dulzura.

• Cualquiera que piense que las fábricas eólicas son respetuosas con el medio ambiente debería buscar en Google "Cefn Croes Photo Gallery", para ver 100 escalofriantes imágenes que muestran cuántos kilómetros de campo galés virgen se desfiguraron para crear el mayor polígono industrial de Gran Bretaña: todo para "ahorrar" anualmente menos de una cuarta parte de las emisiones de CO₂ de un solo jumbo.

• Las prímulas y los paisajes, señalaba, tienen un grave defecto: son gratuitos. El amor a la naturaleza no mantiene ocupadas a las fábricas. Se decidió abolir el amor a la naturaleza, al menos entre las clases bajas. Era esencial que siguieran yendo al campo, aunque lo odiaran.
