Insistence Quotes - Page 5

• La muy discutida teoría moral del arte de Ruskin formaba parte de un intento por demostrar que esta actividad humana, que tanto valoramos, comprometía a toda la personalidad humana. Su insistencia en la santidad de la naturaleza formaba parte de un intento de desarrollar la intuición de Goethe de que la forma no se puede armar en la mente mediante un proceso aditivo, sino que debe deducirse de las leyes de crecimiento de los organismos vivos y de su resistencia a los elementos.

• When students are first at the Kerouac School we harp on Gertrude Stein's very basic poetic insistence that words are things . Not to invalidate your experience or all the great feelings you have, I tell them. Although poetry may be good for you, it's not therapy. You're making something with words which are visceral, muscular, active, not just markers of how you feel. And we have classes studying William Blake, Ezra Pound, Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Stein.

• Me anima la insistencia del presidente electo [Donald Trump] en que la OTAN es un compromiso que no cambia. Y su pleno compromiso con la OTAN como base de nuestra seguridad internacional me parece muy importante.

• It happens from time to time in every complex and active society, that certain persons feel the complexity and insistence as a tangle, and seek freedom in retirement, as Thoreau sought at Walden Pond. They do not, however, in this manner escape from the social institutions of their time, nor do they really mean to do so; what they gain, if they are successful, is a saner relation to them.

• Podría discutir la magnitud de la expansión militar de Reagan, pero dada la invasión soviética de Afganistán, adelantarse militarmente a los soviéticos parecía algo sensato. Orgullo por nuestro país, respeto por nuestras fuerzas armadas, una sana apreciación de los peligros más allá de nuestras fronteras, una insistencia en que no había una equivalencia fácil entre el Este y el Oeste: en todo esto no tuve nada que objetar a Reagan. Y cuando cayó el Muro de Berlín, tuve que darle su merecido, aunque nunca le di mi voto.

• The decision to attack the entire nation [of Yugoslavia] has been counterproductive, and our destruction of civilian life has now become senseless and excessively brutal. ... The United States' insistence on the use of cluster bombs, designed to kill or maim humans, is condemned almost universally and brings discredit on our nation (as does our refusal to support a ban on land mines). Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.

• The underlying motivation that drives all addiction is our insistence on avoiding pain. However, the pain you are avoiding is based in the past, and has nothing to do with the present moment.

• The greater the mental charlatan, the more definite his insistence on the wickedness and weaknesses of human nature. Yet how can anyone speak of it today, with every soul in a prison, with every heart fettered, wounded, and maimed?... With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?

• Obama's immigration legacy will be the juxtaposition of his serial insistence that he was not a king or an emperor, and could not contravene the Constitution by granting a blanket amnesty, with his efforts to do just that when it was no longer politically inexpedient. I don't think a president has ever quite so habitually warned the country of the dangers that would soon emanate from himself.

• La gente que culpa a la Biblia de la destrucción moderna de la naturaleza no ha visto su deleite en la variedad e individualidad de las criaturas y su insistencia en su santidad. Pero ese deleite -por ejemplo, en los últimos capítulos de Job o en el Salmo 104- es mucho más útil para la causa de la conservación que las abstracciones indiferenciadoras de la ciencia... La reverencia da categoría a las criaturas y a nuestra percepción de ellas, igual que la ley da categoría a un ciudadano.

• Se refiere al comportamiento que hace que la vida militar sea peor de lo necesario: el acoso mezquino de los débiles por los fuertes; la lucha abierta por el poder, la autoridad y el prestigio; el sadismo apenas disfrazado de disciplina necesaria; un constante "ajuste de cuentas"; y la insistencia en la letra en lugar del espíritu de las ordenanzas.

• The sorcerer's description of the world is perceivable. But our insistence on holding on to our standard version of reality renders us almost deaf and blind to it.

• Woodrow Wilson administration ended in tragedy, with his insistence on governing following his disabling stroke. I suspect President Wilson is often graded on a special curve, because many academic historians identify with him as one of their own.

• La risa es salud espiritual. Y la risa es muy desahogante. Mientras ríes, puedes apartar tu mente muy fácilmente. Para un hombre que no puede reír las puertas del buda están cerradas. Para mí, la risa es uno de los mayores valores. Ninguna religión ha pensado nunca en ello. Siempre han insistido en la seriedad, y debido a su insistencia el mundo entero está psicológicamente enfermo.

• The material memories are not usually part of what is said about a picture, and that is a fault in interpretation because every painting captures a certain resistance of paint, a prodding gesture of the brush, a speed and insistence in the face of mindless matter.

• The rhythmic pattern of the poem, which forces continuity of attention - incites a pleasurable compulsion to 'follow' - is either a tried metrical suasion-contrivance or a specially invented pattern of physical insistences, equally, if not more, binding in its effect on the reader. From a straight linguistic point of view, there is room for wonder if there is not latent vice in this environment in which pleasurable physically-compelled responses, produced by incidents of poetic utterance, are identified with the Good.

• Part of the power of Emerson's individualism is his insistence, at crucial moments, that individualism does not mean isolation or self-sufficiency. This is not a paradox, for it is only the strong individual who can frankly concede the sometimes surprising extent of his own dependence.

• Caí en la escritura, supongo, siendo uno de esos niños horribles que escribían versos. Fui a un convento en New York, el Santísimo Sacramento... Me echaron de allí, finalmente, por muchas cosas, entre ellas mi insistencia en que la Inmaculada Concepción era combustión espontánea.
