Human Existence Quotes - Page 3

• Necesitamos imaginar un mundo en el que cada mujer sea el genio que preside su propio cuerpo. En un mundo así, las mujeres crearán realmente una nueva vida, dando a luz no sólo a los hijos que elijamos, sino también las visiones y el pensamiento necesarios para sostener, consolar y alterar la existencia humana: una nueva relación con el universo. La sexualidad, la política, la inteligencia, el poder, la maternidad, el trabajo, la comunidad, la intimidad desarrollarán nuevos significados; el pensamiento mismo se transformará. Aquí es donde tenemos que empezar.

  Adrienne Rich

• Death is an unsurpassable limit of human existence... We discover the relationship which is the basis for all feelings of reverence, fear, awe, wonder, sorrow, and deference in the face of something greater and more powerful... Only such a being-unto-death can guarantee the precondition that the Da-sein be able to free itself from its absorption in, its submission and surrender of itself to the things and relationships of everyday living and to return to itself.

• Human language has a vocabulary suited to our daily needs and functions: the shape of any human language maps approximately to the needs and activities of our mundane lives. But few would deny that there is another dimension of human existence which transcends the mundane: call it the soul, the spirit: it is that part of the human frame which sees the shimmer of the numinous.

• I am persuaded to think that any climate change is bad because of the investments and adaptations that have been made by human beings and all of the things that support human existence upon this globe. Even minor fluctuations of climate could change the distribution of fish, … upset agriculture,…and inundate costal cities…… Such changes could occur at a faster rate perhaps than human society can evolve.

• Labour is the source of all wealth, the political economists assert. And it really is the source -- next to nature, which supplies it with the material that it converts into wealth. But it is even infinitely more than this. It is the prime basic condition for all human existence, and this to such an extent that, in a sense, we have to say that labour created man himself.

• La gente inventa nuevas máquinas y mejora las existentes casi inconscientemente, como un sonámbulo que camina dormido. El rompecabezas interesante de nuestra época es que caminamos tan voluntariamente sonámbulos en el proceso de reconstitución de las condiciones de la existencia humana.

• Socialism, communism, literally kills the lifeblood of opportunity and energy and creativity because there is no outlet for it, and yet all of those things are a natural part of the human existence, desire, ambition, energy, creation. We all have those things in different amounts, different allocations. And they change.

• If the spiritual values of human existence at its highest term of development and achievement do not endure, amidst all the changes and chances of this mortal universe, there seems to be no stable or coherent meaning in existence. Then the universe is irrational--indeed it is no universe at all.

• El pragmatismo , al intentar convertir la física experimental en prototipo de toda ciencia y modelar todas las esferas de la vida intelectual según las técnicas del laboratorio, es la contrapartida del industrialismo moderno, para el que la fábrica es el prototipo de la existencia humana, y que modela todas las ramas de la cultura según la producción en la cinta transportadora.

• I don't enjoy the diminishing agility of the body!I had knee surgery and I no longer can go do three yoga classes and run. It's not as much fun, physically. But emotionally, it's way more fun. I am so much happier and contented and less agitated - I'm just calmer. So it's like everything in this human existence, it's a trade off - it's like you trade the virility of the body for the agility of the spirit. That's a good line. I have to remember that!

• La teología reconoce la contingencia de la existencia humana sólo para derivarla de un ser necesario, es decir, para eliminarla. La teología se sirve del asombro filosófico sólo con el fin de motivar una afirmación que le ponga fin. La filosofía, en cambio, nos despierta a lo que hay de problemático en nuestra propia existencia y en la del mundo, hasta tal punto que nunca nos curaremos de buscar una solución.

• Éste es exactamente el mensaje que los cuentos de hadas transmiten a los niños de múltiples formas: que la lucha contra las graves dificultades de la vida es inevitable, forma parte intrínseca de la existencia humana, pero que si uno no se amilana, sino que se enfrenta con firmeza a dificultades inesperadas y a menudo injustas, domina todos los obstáculos y al final sale victorioso.

• Learning, like love, death and eating, are fundamental human activities. It's at the core of human existence and its character has a resilience of continuity that is part of what makes up human nature. That is not fundamentally going to change.
