Harbors Quotes - Page 16

• Dinocrates did not leave the king, but followed him into Egypt. There Alexander, observing a harbor rendered safe by nature, an excellent center for trade, cornfields throughout all Egypt, and the great usefulness of the mighty river Nile, ordered him to build the city of Alexandria, named after the king. This was how Dinocrates, recommended only by his good looks and dignified carriage, came to be so famous.

• I think Kafka was right when he said that for a modern, secular, nonreligious man, state bureaucracy is the only remaining contact with the dimension of the divine; the impenetrable omnipotence of bureaucracy harbors is divine enjoyment. It is the performance of its very purposelessness that generates an intense enjoyment, ready to reproduce itself forever.

• [D]esarrollar 'planes de guerra secretos' para un posible ataque a Irak no era irracional. La guerra de bajo nivel contra Sadam llevaba 12 años sin final a la vista. Los pilotos estadounidenses y británicos estaban siendo tiroteados, las sanciones no funcionaban y Bush recibía advertencias de que Sadam tenía todas esas terribles armas y las utilizaría contra Estados Unidos. Bush habría sido un tonto si no hubiera trazado planes. Vaya, esperen a que los críticos descubran que FDR, sin informar nunca a los medios de comunicación, estaba tramando luchar contra Japón y Alemania antes de Pearl Harbor.

• It was an actual Christmas tree farm. We had, like, 15 acres. It was really fun as a kid. I also spent my summers at the Jersey Shore, on the bay in Stone Harbor. I walked everywhere barefoot. It was just the most amazing, magical way to grow up.

• I have lived through war, and lost much. I know what's worth the fight, and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for, too. And that, O kinsman, is why a woman has broad hips; that bony basin will harbor a man and his child alike. A man's life springs from his woman's bones, and in her blood is his honor christened. For the sake of love alone, I would walk through fire again.

• I put the Vietnam War behind me a long time ago, and what I wanted to (do) among other things was help veterans also be able to come all the way home as some of our veterans have not been able to do.

Estamos a punto de entrar en el séptimo año de esta falsa guerra contra ... [grupos terroristas], y estamos perdiendo.

• Mornings at Blackwater" For years, every morning, I drank from Blackwater Pond. It was flavored with oak leaves and also, no doubt, the feet of ducks. And always it assuaged me from the dry bowl of the very far past. What I want to say is that the past is the past, and the present is what your life is, and you are capable of choosing what that will be, darling citizen. So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing, and put your lips to the world. And live your life.
