Human Existence Quotes - Page 4

• La necesidad de enunciados míticos se satisface cuando enmarcamos una visión del mundo que explica adecuadamente el sentido de la existencia humana en el cosmos, una visión que brota de nuestra totalidad psíquica, de la cooperación entre consciente e inconsciente. La falta de sentido inhibe la plenitud de la vida y, por tanto, equivale a enfermedad. El sentido hace que muchas cosas sean soportables, tal vez todo.

  Carl Jung

  Spring, Fullness Of Life, Views

• [I]n contrast to the common belief that they are the world's greatest cynics, the best journalists are the world's great idealists. They have experienced firsthand the great soothing balance of human existence. For every disgrace there is triumph, for every wrong there is a moment of justice, for every funeral a wedding, for every obituary a birth announcement.

  Anna Quindlen

• Intento recordar que las cosas han sido ciertamente más locas en la historia de la humanidad y pueden volverse más locas aquí y ahora, y [aquí estoy intentando ser optimista] es incluso algo bueno, estar pasando por todo esto, aunque sólo sea para recordar que la historia no se ha detenido - la existencia humana es tan fundamentalmente inmanejable ahora como lo ha sido siempre.

• If life is to be fully human it must serve some end which seems, in some sense, outside human life, some end which is impersonal and above mankind, such as God or truth or beauty. Those who best promote life do not have life for their purpose. They aim rather at what seems like a gradual incarnation, a bringing into our human existence of something eternal, something that appears to imagination to live in a heaven remote from strife and failure and the devouring jaws of Time.

• Me fascina la relativa insignificancia de la existencia humana, la brevedad de la vida. Podríamos ser una letra en una palabra en una frase en una página de un libro en una biblioteca en una ciudad en un país en este enorme universo. Y ese tipo de miedo e insignificancia me ha quitado el sueño.

• I dream of a world where people from different backgrounds are praying and working for the flourishment of communities different from them, and I find my sustenance not only in these stories in scripture, but in stories of human existence also - the story of the Bosnian Muslim man who took to a Serbian couple with a new baby a liter of milk every day during that horrible struggle in the former Yugoslavia, because he said even if our tribes, our nations, are at war with each other, there is something deeply human about me wishing that your baby survives and is secure.

• The one function that most gods seem to have in common is to give human existence some ultimate purpose - and, while it is not possible to disprove an ultimate purpose, there does not seem to be any evidence for it. This is not to say, of course, that there is no purpose in life at all: we all make our own purposes as we go through life. And life does not lose its value simply because it it not going to last forever.

• With reason, then, the common opinion of mankind, little affected by the few dissentients who have contended for the opposite view, has found in the careful study of nature, and in the laws of nature, the foundations of the division of property, and the practice of all ages has consecrated the principle of private ownership, as being pre-eminently in conformity with human nature, and as conducing in the most unmistakable manner to the peace and tranquility of human existence.

• The preceding criticism justifies the following definition of the entire human: human existence as the life of "unmotivated" celebration, celebration in all meaning of the word: laughter, dancing, orgy, the rejection of subordination, and sacrifice that scornfully puts aside any consideration of ends, property, and morality.

• The advantage of pure, and the disadvantage of impure air are experienced each time we breathe, and all who understand the causes of disease know that an impure atmosphere is most unfavourable to the enjoyment of health, and an efficient cause to shorten human existence within the natural life of man. It is therefore most desirable that decisive measures should be devised and generally adopted to ensure to all a pure atmosphere, in which to live during their lives.

• As far as life is concerned, there is no such thing as "Nature". There are only homes. Home is that environment to which the individual has become adapted; and almost everything is unnatural outside his range of adaptation. Harmonious equilibrium with nature is an abstract concept with a Platonic beauty but lacking the flesh and blood of life. It fails, in particular, to convey the creative emergent quality of human existence.

• La naturaleza no admite ninguna permanencia en la relación entre el hombre y la mujer. Sólo el egoísmo del hombre quiere conservar a la mujer como un tesoro enterrado. Todos los esfuerzos por introducir permanencia en el amor, lo más cambiante en esta cambiante existencia humana, han naufragado a pesar de las ceremonias religiosas, los votos y las legalidades.

• Lo que la ficción nos ofrece es una intimidad despojada de las desordenadas contingencias de la existencia humana: género, raza, clase o edad. Esos momentos de trascendencia en los que exclamamos "¡Sabes exactamente lo que quiero decir!" dependen en gran medida del carácter anónimo de la intimidad entre escritor y lector.

• The first step in the direction of a world rule of law is the recognition that peace no longer is an unobtainable ideal but a necessary condition of continued human existence. But to take even this step we must return to a calm and responsible frame of mind in which we can face the long patient tasks ahead.
