Insistence Quotes - Page 4

• Satyagraha means insistence on what one knows to be the truth. The insistence implies the exercise of free will as the need of social obligation. If one is content to know the truth himself, he does not become a votary of Satyagraha. A Satyagrahi should not only know the truth but should insist upon it in social relations. So Satyagraha is activation of truthfulness.

• Our skin, our borders, all seem petty compared to alien races and the scale of galaxies. Nobody in the Star Wars universe cares about white or black humans, it seems, and what meaning could physical appearance possibly have when there are sentient beings that look like lobsters or like Jabba the Hutt? Unfortunately, in the real world, such hopeful sentiments are regularly refuted by our stubborn insistence on always finding someone to discriminate against.

• La insistencia del personalismo en que sólo la personalidad -finita e infinita- es real en última instancia me reforzó en dos convicciones: me dio una base metafísica y filosófica para la idea de un Dios personal, y me dio una base metafísica para la dignidad y el valor de toda personalidad humana.

• The real problem is not the religion itself, but its insistence that the interpretation it offers of the world is the only valid interpretation.

• There is no ideal length, but you develop a little interior gauge that tells you whether or not you're supporting the house or detracting from it. When a piece gets too long, the tension goes out of it. That word—tension—has an animal insistence for me. A piece of writing rises and falls with tension. The writer holds one end of the rope and the reader holds the other end—is the rope slack, or is it tight? Does it matter to the reader what the next sentence is going to be?

• Los hombres libres son conscientes de la imperfección inherente a los asuntos humanos, y están dispuestos a luchar y morir por lo que no es perfecto. Saben que los problemas humanos básicos no pueden tener soluciones definitivas, que nuestra libertad, justicia, igualdad, etc. distan mucho de ser absolutas, y que la buena vida se compone de medias tintas, compromisos, males menores y tanteos hacia lo perfecto. El rechazo de las aproximaciones y la insistencia en los absolutos son la manifestación de un nihilismo que detesta la libertad, la tolerancia y la equidad.

• Se nos ordena amar a Dios con todas nuestras fuerzas, corazón, mente y alma y a nuestro prójimo de la misma manera que Dios nos ama - es el mismo amor que fluye entre Dios y el alma - el alma y su prójimo. Es difícil, pero la carga de la cruz es ligera comparada con la cruz de las emociones incontroladas, la ira, la insistencia en la propia opinión, la frustración de intentar cambiar a los demás en lugar de ser cambiado uno mismo, el resentimiento, los remordimientos y la culpa. Aceptar el momento presente como hizo Jesús es, sin duda, una carga más ligera.

• I associate the garden with the whole experience of being alive, and so, there is nothing in the range of human experience that is separate from what the garden can signify in its eagerness and its insistence, and in its driving energy to live -- to grow, to bear fruit.

• Clearly the path of mitzvot is a form of meditation. The intention to act impeccably requires complete dedication and unwavering attention. I was also impressed with LUzzato's insistence that mitzvot practice is joyful.

• No insistence in the Scripture is more pressing than that we must pray...How clear it is, when the Bible is consulted, that the almighty God is brought directly into the things of this world by the prayers of His people.

• ¿Por qué tanta insistencia en los sentidos? Porque para convencer al lector de que está ALLÍ, hay que atacar cada uno de sus sentidos con colores, sonidos, sabores y texturas. Si el lector siente el sol en su carne, el viento agitando las mangas de su camisa, la mitad de la batalla está ganada. Las historias más inverosímiles pueden hacerse creíbles si el lector, a través de sus sentidos, tiene la certeza de que se encuentra en medio de los acontecimientos. No puede negarse a participar. La lógica de los acontecimientos siempre cede el paso a la lógica de los sentidos.

• There is no going back to a time when most women will feel compelled to enter or stay in a bad marriage just for economic security or social respectability. So today, the best way to get women once more interested in getting married and having children is for men to accept women's new insistence on equality. This is, I think, why educated women in America, are now more pro - marriage and more disapproving of divorce than other groups of women who have less experience with egalitarian partners or less clout in getting their needs met in relationships.

• Jesus was probably a guy who thought, "This thing that I've discovered can save the world and everybody is miserable without it." So he was probably a very kind and giving person and thought he had to give it to people, even if it killed him. He had to make sure they got the message, and he paid the ultimate price as they say due to his insistence.

• Any insistence on equal pay is crucial and any redefinition of work to include caregiving work so that it also has an economic value, at least at replacement level, that's crucial. So change does come from the bottom up, and it will come from girls and women and men who understand that for us all to be human beings instead of being grouped by gender is good for them, too.

• America's political landscape is infested with many zombie ideas - beliefs about policy that have been repeatedly refuted with evidence and analysis but refuse to die. The most prominent zombie is the insistence that low taxes on rich people are the key to prosperity.

• Uno de los fenómenos genuinos de las últimas cuatro décadas ha sido la firme insistencia de la comunidad liberal en que Dios debe ser excluido de la esfera pública. Esto no es derecho. Es un prejuicio religioso.

• The duties are even more important than the rights; and in the long run I think that the reward is ampler and greater for duty well done, than for the insistence upon individual rights.

• Some major problems can be solved by our political process and our leaders. Others can be solved only when there is popular demand and insistence and politicians feel at risk of unemployment if they ignore the groundswell.

• Some critics thought the ontology and theory of qualities absurd. No one had ever seen these little atoms, and furthermore, how could their mere arrangement produce a noisy, colourful, world in which day followed night and animals generated their own kind? Instead of a world created, cared, for and supervised by supernatural persons, the Epicureans appeared to the theologians to be assigning everything to chance. The latter were appalled by Lucretius's view of religion as cruel and oppressive and by the Epicurean insistence that death is the end of all experience.

• En los últimos cincuenta años, más o menos, los científicos han permitido que las convenciones de expresión de que disponen se vuelvan totalmente demasiado confinadas, demasiado limitadas. La insistencia en la impersonalidad anodina y la indiferencia generalizada hacia cualquier cosa parecida a la exhibición de un autor humano único en la exposición científica, han transformado la lectura de la mayoría de los artículos científicos en un acto de tediosa monotonía.

• Religion is based on the insistence that over and above all is a purpose and a guiding hand that is beneficent and kind, and would not leave a hair unnumbered or let a sparrow fall unnoticed to the ground. Those who cherish such hallucinations forget that the all-loving power is inflicting tuberculosis, cancer, famine, and pestilence on the trusting, simple sons of men.

• Any society's insistence on how it takes democracy seriously can, in fact, be measured by the way it treats its children. And if we take that index as a measure of the United States, it's utterly failing. You have young people basically who - in schools that are increasingly modeled after prisons. You have their behavior being increasingly criminalized. And one of the most atrocious of all acts, you have the rise of debtors' prisons for children.
