Haphazard Quotes - Page 2

• Story ideas, but it's also musing on stuff that I'm thinking about. This leads me to this and this leads me to this. They're kind of random and haphazard. Often I can't find anything. Somehow, by doing that, even though I don't necessarily refer to them in a specific way, I have some sort of architecture in my head.

• The bourgeois thinkers of the eighteenth century thus turned Aristotle's formula on its head: satisfactions which the Greek philosopher had identified with leisure were now transposed to the sphere of work, while tasks lacking in any financial reward were drained of all significance and left to the haphazard attentions of decadent dilettantes. It now seemed as impossible that one could be happy and unproductive as it had once seemed unlikely that one could work and be human.

• Education should try to lessen the obstacles, diminish the friction, invigorate the energy, and should train minds to react, not at haphazard, but by choice, on the lines of force that attract their world. What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn.

• Podrían observar incidentalmente que si el estado pagara por la maternidad, podría y debería requerir un certificado médico de que los padres son tales como para dar un resultado razonable de un niño sano - esto proporcionaría un muy buen incentivo para algún tipo de cuidado para la raza, y gradualmente, a medida que la opinión pública se educara por la ley, podría reaccionar sobre la ley y hacerla más estricta, hasta que se llegara a algún estado de cosas en el que hubiera un poco de cuidado genuino para la raza, en lugar de las actuales formas desordenadas y desordenadas.

• Hoy en día llevo un diario, así que escribo constantemente mis pensamientos, o líneas que me vienen... ideas para canciones. Y cuando tengo un momento libre, me siento con la guitarra, abro el diario y empiezo a mezclar cosas para ver si la canción toma forma. O a veces, simplemente estoy con la guitarra y se me ocurre una progresión de acordes o un lick, y se queda ahí un rato esperando a casarse con algunas palabras. Es una especie de cultura basura. Voy por ahí encontrando objetos brillantes y los pego entre sí, ríe.

• I believe that the community's duty to education is, therefore, its paramount moral duty. By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.

• La inteligencia y el coraje de Ben Skinner nos adentran en las entrañas de la bestia y sacan a la luz la horrible verdad de la esclavitud moderna. En lugar de sensacionalismo, Un crimen tan monstruoso nos ofrece una visión y un análisis que necesitamos desesperadamente. Se trata de un libro importante, la primera mirada en profundidad a la confusa relación actual de Estados Unidos con el tráfico de seres humanos y la esclavitud. La equilibrada disección que hace Skinner de las desordenadas políticas de nuestro gobierno será controvertida, pero también puede ser la base de una nueva agenda antiesclavista, que ponga fin a los juegos políticos que se juegan con las vidas de los esclavos.
