Freshness Quotes - Page 8

• La historia no tiene ni la venerabilidad de la antigüedad, ni la frescura de lo moderno. Hace como si quisiera ir al principio de las cosas, lo que la historia natural podría con razón suponer que hace; pero considerad la Historia Universal, y luego decidnos, --¿cuándo brotaron primero la bardana y el llantén?

• The image cannot be dispossessed of a primordial freshness, which idea can never claim. An idea is derivative and tamed. The imageis in the natural or wild state, and it has to be discovered there, not put there, obeying its own law and none of ours. We think we can lay hold of image and take it captive, but the docile captive is not the real image but only the idea, which is the image with its character beaten out of it.

  John Crowe Ransom

• Next to the Bible, the book I value most is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times. It is a volume of which I never seem to tire; and the secret of its freshness is that it is so largely compiled from the Scriptures.

Una frescura de rocío llena el aire silencioso; Ninguna niebla oscurece; Ni nube, ni mancha, ni mancha, Rompe la serenidad del cielo: En plena gloria, aquella luna divina Rueda a través de las oscuras profundidades azules; Bajo su rayo firme El círculo desierto se extiende Como el océano redondo, ceñido por el cielo. ¡Qué hermosa es la noche!

• Literature for me… tries to heal the harm done by stories. (How much harm? Most of the atrocities of history have been created by stories, e.g., the Jews killed Jesus.) I follow Sartre that the freedom the author claims for herself must be shared with the reader. So that would mean that literature is stories that put themselves at the disposal of readers who want to heal themselves. Their healing power lies in their honesty, the freshness of their vision, the new and unexpected things they show, the increase in power and responsibility they give the reader.

• O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.

• Good storytelling for me is not so much technical expertise, which I know is applauded often; it's actually freshness of approach. It does mean you sometimes stumble and fall and make a horrible mess of things in seeking that freshness, but you should always keep trying to do that.

• La debilidad es una gran cosa, y la fuerza no es nada. Cuando un hombre acaba de nacer, es débil y flexible. Cuando muere, es duro e insensible. Cuando un árbol está creciendo, es tierno y flexible. Pero cuando está seco y duro, muere. La dureza y la fuerza son compañeras de la muerte. La flexibilidad y la debilidad son expresiones de la frescura del ser. Porque lo que se ha endurecido nunca vencerá.

  Andrei Tarkovski

• ¡Deja la culpa! - porque ser culpable es vivir en el infierno. No siendo culpable, tendrás la frescura de las gotas de rocío en el sol de la mañana, tendrás la frescura de los pétalos de loto en el lago, tendrás la frescura de las estrellas en la noche. Una vez que desaparezca la culpa tendrás un tipo de vida totalmente diferente, luminosa y radiante. Tus pies bailarán y tu corazón cantará mil y una canciones.
