Horizon Quotes - Page 18

• I unpetalled you, like a rose, to see your soul, and I didn't see it. But everything around -horizons of land and of seas-, everything, out to the infinite, was filled with a fragrance, enormous and alive.

  Juan Ramón Jiménez

• Utopia lies at the horizon. When I draw nearer by two steps, it retreats two steps. If I proceed ten steps forward, it swiftly slips ten steps ahead. No matter how far I go, I can never reach it. What, then, is the purpose of utopia? It is to cause us to advance.

  Eduardo Galeano

• La armonía llega gradualmente a un piloto y su avión. El ala no quiere tanto volar en línea recta como tirar de las manos que la guían; el barco prefiere cazar el viento que asomar la nariz al horizonte. Tiene una cualidad abandonada en su carácter; juega con la libertad e insinúa la liberación, pero cede suavemente a sus propios deseos.

• Os aseguro, hijos míos, que cuando un cristiano realiza con amor la más insignificante acción cotidiana, esa acción desborda la trascendencia de Dios. Por eso os he dicho tantas veces, y machaconamente, que la vocación cristiana consiste en hacer de la prosa de cada día un verso heroico. El cielo y la tierra parecen fundirse, hijos míos, en el horizonte. Pero donde realmente se encuentran es en vuestros corazones, cuando santificáis vuestra vida cotidiana.

  Josemaría Escrivá

• ¿Qué es capaz de devolver el entusiasmo y la confianza, qué puede animar al espíritu humano a redescubrir su camino, a levantar la vista al horizonte, a soñar con una vida digna de su vocación, si no es la belleza?

• Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.

• En los últimos 50 años se han perforado más de 30.000 pozos petrolíferos en el Golfo de México. Es la primera vez que ocurre algo así [el vertido de petróleo de BP Deepwater Horizon], y tenemos que llegar al fondo del asunto, averiguar qué ha pasado y asegurarnos de que no vuelva a ocurrir. Pero creo que es muy razonable seguir perforando.

• One is left with the thought that given the way we now abuse the ocean and abuse the climate that we are heading towards our own iceberg, which is looming on the horizon. It's not visible yet but it certainly exists there and it won't be my generation that has to deal with the fact that the world is not bountiful forever, that the ocean and the atmosphere are not free goods to be abused, that will have to feed these vast populations. That will be your generation.

• The basic confrontation which seemed to be colonialism versus anti-colonialism, indeed capitalism versus socialism, is already losing its importance. What matters today, the issue which blocks the horizon, is the need for a redistribution of wealth. Humanity will have to address this question, no matter how devastating the consequences may be.

• "The ultimate recession": a recession caused not by failed regulation and bankers' greed, but by very high oil prices, food and water shortages, disappearing forests, accelerating climate change, forced migration and mass civil disruption...The long and the short of it, unfortunately, is this: more politicians still believe that economic recovery depends on continuing to live beyond our means (financially and ecologically) than on learning to live within our means. And that's why the ultimate "Perfect Storm" recession still looms on the horizon

• This is not going away. At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like. In these times of a morally bankrupt government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow.

• The astronomer is, in some measure, independent of his fellow astronomer; he can wait in his observatory till the star he wishes to observe comes to his meridian; but the meteorologist has his observations bounded by a very limited horizon, and can do little without the aid of numerous observers furnishing him contemporaneous observations over a wide-extended area.

• The foremost reason that happiness is so hard to achieve is that the universe was not designed with the comfort of human beings in mind...It seems that every time a pressing danger is avoided a new and more sophisticated threat appears on the horizon...Whether we are happy depends on inner harmony, not on the controls we are able to exert over the great forces of the universe

• El falso gusto está siempre ocupado en extraviar a los que se adentran en las regiones del saber; y el viajero, inseguro de su camino y abandonado por el sol, se alegrará de ver surgir en el horizonte un orbe más tenue, que le rescate de la oscuridad total, aunque con brillo débil y prestado.
