Form Quotes - Page 28

• Dreaming is a form of action. Idleness is a form of action. The idle man stares at the sky and sees what constitutes our eternal ceiling. The sky is one of the things that constructs us, one of our constants. But it is not what people believe. I should like to close this circle by turning over in my bed and scrutinizing the stars.

  Philippe Starck

• Hemos organizado para nosotros un mundo en el que podemos vivir, planteando cuerpos, líneas, planos, causas y efectos, movimiento y reposo, forma y contenido; sin estos artículos de fe nadie podría ahora soportar la vida. Pero eso no los prueba. La vida no es un argumento. Las condiciones de la vida pueden incluir el error.

• War is the highest form of struggle for resolving contradictions, when they have developed to a certain stage, between classes, nations, states, or political groups, and it has existed ever since the emergence of private property and of classes.

• La toma del poder por la fuerza armada, la solución de la cuestión por la guerra, es la tarea central y la forma más elevada de la revolución. Este principio marxista-leninista de la revolución es válido universalmente, para China y para todos los demás países.

• Todo el mundo tiene prisa. Las personas a quienes dirijo en la adoración, entre quienes aconsejo, visito, oro, predico y enseño, quieren atajos. Quieren que les ayude a llenar el formulario que les dará crédito instantáneo (en la eternidad). Están impacientes por obtener resultados. Han adoptado el estilo de vida de un turista y sólo quieren los puntos altos. . . . La vida cristiana no puede madurar bajo tales condiciones y de tales maneras.

• The public hardly suspects that their purchase of cosmetics, pet food, toothpaste, eggs and other common items have, in all likelihood, caused some form of animal suffering.

• It reminded us that propaganda in some form or other lurks in every book, that every work of art has a meaning and a purpose - a political, social and religious purpose - that our aesthetic judgements are always coloured by our prejudices and beliefs

• ...to characterize the import of pure geometry, we might use the standard form of a movie-disclaimer: No portrayal of the characteristics of geometrical figures or of the spatial properties of relationships of actual bodies is intended, and any similarities between the primitive concepts and their customary geometrical connotations are purely coincidental.

• Nuestra noción de simetría deriva del rostro humano. Por tanto, sólo exigimos simetría horizontal y en anchura, no vertical ni en profundidad.

• Célula y tejido, concha y hueso, hoja y flor, son otras tantas porciones de materia, y es en obediencia a las leyes de la física que sus partículas han sido movidas, moldeadas y conformadas. No son excepciones a la regla de que Dios siempre geometriza. Sus problemas de forma son en primera instancia problemas matemáticos, sus problemas de crecimiento son esencialmente problemas físicos, y el morfólogo es, ipso facto, un estudiante de ciencias físicas.

• Ahora sé que para hacer una historia familiar que merezca la pena debo interpretar el pasado sin caer ni en la demonización ni en la aceptación incuestionable. . . . Como dramaturgo, a lo que me opongo ahora mismo es a cualquier forma de fundamentalismo, ya sea nacionalista, religioso o étnico. . . . . Me parece ridículo -y fundamentalista, por cierto- decir que la cultura que me rodea no me cambia.

• I thought if I was going to live a life in this land I was accidentally born on, I must people it; I must have a history. . .. I'm looking for these people inside me, wherever they may be; that is my form of research.

• We're one of the last handmade art forms. There's no fast way to make plays. It takes just as long and is just as hard as it was a thousand years ago.

• Regarding pushing the form, ideas interest me more than form. I think you can write a very subversive play in a three-act structure. The content makes the play. I feel the form is simply dressing, because ultimately, you want to communicate to the audience, and sometimes the best way to do that is to present a provocative idea in a format that is comfortable for them to receive. Then the idea will come through directly, right in solar plexus. After all, I want to make a living as an artist, and that means speaking to the audience in a form they can understand.

• Las obras de teatro son literatura: la palabra, la idea. El cine se parece mucho más a la forma en que soñamos: en acción e imágenes (la televisión es mobiliario). Creo que una gran obra sólo puede ser una obra de teatro. Se adapta mejor al escenario que a la pantalla. Algunas historias insisten en ser películas, no pueden contenerse en el escenario. Al final, toda escritura sirve para responder a la misma pregunta: ¿Por qué estamos vivos? Y la forma que adopta la pregunta - obra de teatro, película, novela - viene dictada, supongo, por si su historia está impulsada por el personaje o por el lugar.

• Yes, I am one of those people who feels that most of my work is adaptation of one sort or another. For me, it's a way to jump-start the engine. For example, some people use the technique of basing a character on a friend. They start writing with his or her voice, then at a certain point, the character takes off on his or her own. It probably no longer resembles the model, but it helped the author to get going. I find that's true of form, too. For every play I've written, I know what play I was trying to imitate. That helps me get going.

• Aunque el conocimiento de la estructura es útil, la verdadera creatividad surge de los saltos de fe en los que uno se lanza a algo ilógico. Pero esos saltos forman los momentos memorables de las películas y las obras de teatro.

• In many of my plays, there was a kind of autobiographical character in the form of a son or young man. The purpose of it, of course, was to write about myself. That character was always the least fully realized. Eighteen years later, you realize, That's what he was about.

• Wouldn't it be incredible if everyone could be purged, somehow, of the projected not-them badness that they internalized and perhaps have acted out because their souls have been so damaged? Wouldn't it be incredible if everyone could find the joy that comes with committing to our own goodness? Perhaps we would stop dividing ourselves into malignancies of various forms.

  Eve Ensler

• There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.

• Desde la cima de su desilusión, miran a aquellos a quienes desprecian como almas simples. Por mi parte, no simpatizo con esta perspectiva. Todo desencanto es para mí una enfermedad, que, es cierto, ciertas circunstancias pueden hacer inevitable, pero que sin embargo, cuando se produce, debe ser curada lo antes posible, y no ser considerada como una forma superior de sabiduría.

  Bertrand Russell

• The moment you think creed and form and ceremony the "be-all" and "end-all", then you are in bondage. Take part in them to help others, but take care they do not become a bondage.

• When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage. Eternal progression is eternal bondage; annihilation of form is to be preferred. We must get free from any body, even a "god-body". God is the only real existence, there cannot be two. There is but One Soul, and I am That.
