Firing Quotes - Page 7

• La mejor manera de averiguar cosas, si se piensa en ello, es no hacer preguntas. Si disparas una pregunta, es como disparar un arma; pum, y todo se escapa y corre a refugiarse. Pero si te quedas quieto y finges no estar mirando, todos los pequeños hechos vendrán y picotearán alrededor de tus pies, las situaciones se aventurarán a salir de los matorrales y las intenciones se arrastrarán y tomarán el sol en una piedra; y si eres muy paciente, verás y entenderás mucho más que un hombre con una pistola.

• Creating a close connection to those you do business with has its many risks, rewards and consequences.
  There are few things in business I have encountered that are more difficult than firing someone, particularly if that someone has always been, or has become a friend.
  On the flip side, I have been rewarded with many friends.

• Las piedras se comprueban de vez en cuando para ver si alguna se ha partido o, en el peor de los casos, ha explotado. Una explosión puede dejar restos en los elementos, por lo que hay que abandonar la cocción.

• Cuando estoy en el modo "Hombre contra naturaleza", no es un placer. Todos los sensores están encendidos y estoy todo el tiempo con la potencia de reserva y cavando hondo, y esa es también la magia, la crudeza y la grandeza.

• Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read.

• We have to wonder whether digital technology, rather than making it easier to communicate, is actually doing the opposite. We now sit alone at a keyboard, firing off zeros and ones into the ether. Offices are silent.

• Las citas suelen ser conmovedoras o divertidas (un hombre ante el pelotón de fusilamiento pide un chaleco antibalas) y a menudo no pasan de ser interesantes documentos históricos de siglos pasados. Pero leídas en conjunto, todo ese dolor se acumula. Esencialmente, Elder ha reunido una colección de lo que la gente dice cuando sabe que va a morir, el producto final de lo que podría considerarse una tortura psicológica.

• What do you see when you see me?' She asked him, burying her own face in his bosom. 'Do you want the truth?' She nodded. 'The firing squad.' 'That's not the whole truth. Try again.' 'Insatiability,' he said with some bitterness. 'That's oblique but altogether too simple. Once more,' she insisted. 'One more time.' He was silent for several minutes. 'The map of a country in which I only exist by virtue of the extravagance of my metaphors.' 'Now you're being too sophisticated. And, besides, what metaphors do we have in common?

• Frankly, I don't think you should perform in a plaza where thousands of Cubans have been subjected to the death penalty, by firing squad, including three young black men in 2003. What is needed in Cuba is a concert in favor of democracy, civil liberties for the people, the freedom of political prisoners, free elections and the expulsion of dictatorial power.

• Me siento fatal por un niño palestino que muere. Pero, si es tu padre, tu hermano o tu tío quien lanza esos cohetes contra Israel, ¿de quién es realmente la culpa? ¿De verdad esperas que los israelíes no tomen represalias?

• Siempre se hablaba de espíritu de cuerpo, de estar animado, y eso debía de ser parte de ello. Un entrenamiento mejor y más duro, más puntería en el campo de tiro, la obediencia instantánea a las órdenes grabada a fuego en los hombres en el campo de entrenamiento.

• I was petrified because all my friends would be going to Washington, DC, to protest. I was sixteen, and I was like, "I don't think I'll be going with you guys," just because I was scared. Then you saw the news, and cops - not students in schools with guns - cops are killing sixteen year old protesters on the news. To me that was more horrifying, to have the authority figures actually killing people on the evening news, than to have another student firing a gun.

• Since the idea that modification of synaptic function can provide a basis for memory arose shortly after the first anatomical description of the synapse a number of models (Hebb 1949 . . Hayek 1952 . . Kendel 1981) have been proposed in which various cognitive activities are represented by combinations of the firing patterns of individual neurons.

• I worked for 20 directors as a production designer, most male. I was on the set to witness firsthand a range of sometimes atrocious emotions - well-documented firings, yellings, fights between directors and actors, hookers, abusive things, budget overages, lack of preparation. A man gets a standing ovation for crying because he's so sensitive, but a woman is shamed.

• George Lazenby is no one's favorite James Bond, but for me the anonymity at the center of this lavish production only serves to reveal the Bond machine firing on all cylinders: superb editing and photography, incredible score, great setpieces. The most romantic in the series, and it actually has, of all things, a tragic ending.

• Every effort is made to control information. Secrecy is just one of the toggles on their control board. The mindset is in place, and they've done a lot of hiring over eight years, not just political appointees. And they've done a lot of firing or driving people out who might have countermanded or resisted. So, institutionally, it's not going to be simply a matter of flipping the switch to undo it. You're going have to bring in people dedicated to transparency, and you have to demonstrate that there are rewards for candor.
