Inferiors Quotes - Page 2

• No tenía intereses. No me interesaba nada. No tenía ni idea de cómo iba a escapar. Al menos los otros tenían algún gusto por la vida. Parecían entender algo que yo no entendía. Tal vez me faltaba a mí. Era posible. A menudo me sentía inferior. Sólo quería alejarme de ellos. Pero no había adónde ir. ¿Suicidio? Jesucristo, sólo más trabajo. Tuve ganas de dormir durante cinco años, pero no me dejaron.

  Charles Bukowski

• In Randori we teach the pupil to act on the fundamental principles of Judo, no matter how physically inferior his opponent may seem to him, and even if by sheer strength he can easily overcome him; because if he acts contrary to principle his opponent will never be convinced of defeat, no matter what brute strength he may have used.

• The idea of equality is a by-product of the sentiment of envy. Since it must always prove beyond human ower to raise the inferior mass to a superior stratum, apostles of equality must ever be inferiors seeking to reduce their betters to their level. It follows that a nation that once admits this doctrine of equality will be dragged by it to the level, moral, intelletual and political, of its most worthless class.

• Though it is true we are the highest and smartest animals, ospreys have eyes we have calculated to be sixty times more powerful and sophisticated than our own and that blindness, often caused by microscopic parasites that are themselves miracles of ingenuity, is one of the oldest and most tragic disorders known to man. And why award the superior eye (or in the case of cat or bat, also the ear) to the inferior species.

• Así pues, debemos establecer que la asociación que es un estado existe no con el propósito de vivir juntos, sino por el bien de las acciones nobles. Aquellos que más contribuyen a este tipo de asociación tienen, por esa misma razón, derecho a una parte mayor en el Estado que aquellos que, aunque puedan ser iguales o incluso superiores en nacimiento libre y en familia, son inferiores en la virtud que pertenece a un ciudadano. Del mismo modo, tienen derecho a una parte mayor que aquellos que son superiores en riqueza pero inferiores en virtud.

• Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.

• Because of that she had never had enough energy to be herself, a person who, like everyone else in the world, needed other people in order to be happy. But other people were so difficult. They reacted in unpredictable ways, they surrounded themselves with defensive walls, they behaved just as she did, pretending they didn't care about anything. When someone more open to life appeared, they either rejected them outright or made them suffer, consigning them to being inferior, ingenuous.

• It took years after I’d graduated from Amherst to realize that people were actually far more complicated and interesting than books, that almost everyone else suffered the same secret fears and inadequacies as I, and that feeling alone and inferior was actually the great valent bond between us all. I wish I’d been smart enough to understand that when I was an adolescent.

• We insist on being Someone, with a capital S. We get security from defining ourselves as worthless or worthy, superior or inferior. We waste precious time exaggerating or romanticizing or belittling ourselves with a complacent surety that yes, that’s who we are. We mistake the openness of our being—the inherent wonder and surprise of each moment—for a solid, irrefutable self. Because of this misunderstanding, we suffer.

• Al no leer ni escuchar a los poetas, la sociedad se condena a sí misma a modos inferiores de articulación, los del político, el vendedor o el charlatán. En otras palabras, pierde su propio potencial evolutivo. Porque lo que nos distingue del resto del reino animal es precisamente el don de la palabra. La poesía no es una forma de entretenimiento y en cierto sentido ni siquiera una forma de arte, pero es nuestra meta antropológica, genética. Nuestro faro evolutivo, lingüístico.

• I come out of the environment of the Deep South, where I had seen the millstone of racial discrimination weighting down my people, both the black people and the white people; and I had seen the enormous progress that we were able to make after we removed the legal restraints of a two-class society, with the whites superior and blacks inferior. So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.
