Involved Quotes - Page 6

• At 15 [my father] revolted against his father like any teenager, and said, "I'm out of here! What are you doing to me?" He thought he wouldn't be involved in that kind of stuff for the rest of his life. He just wanted to make money. He was one of those people who took over the family responsibility. His own father was pretty irresponsible with money and borrowed from people all the time.

• At one time in the mid-'70s I became the president of the Boston-Cambridge chapter of the World Future Society. Because I'd been in my studio by myself since 1968 on up. And the thing is that my social life consisted of being involved in organizations like that. I would get people to come and speak, and speak myself and that kind of stuff.

• I'm happy to have interns at The Weekly Standard and happy to have readers of The Weekly Standard, but if you all tell me that you were busy reading Plato and [Lev] Tolstoy and playing violin in the orchestra, I'd say that was great. I wouldn't tell you to take time out from that to get involved in political journalism.

• En el mundo islámico se ve a Estados Unidos de dos maneras muy distintas. Por un lado, se reconoce que Estados Unidos es un país extraordinario y, por otro, se ve a los Estados Unidos oficiales, los Estados Unidos de los ejércitos y las intervenciones. Los Estados Unidos que en 1953 derrocaron al gobierno nacionalista de Mossadegh en Irán y trajeron de vuelta al sha. Los Estados Unidos que han participado primero en la Guerra del Golfo y después en las tremendamente perjudiciales sanciones contra la población civil iraquí. Los Estados Unidos que apoyan a Israel contra los palestinos.

• For me I was always a smart nerdy kid. I wasn't the smartest and I wasn't the nerdiest, but I was a smart nerdy kid my whole childhood, and I definitely wanted to be somehow involved with reading the rest of my life, and I came from a community, I lived in a community, I was part of a community where reading was considered completely alien.

• When I wrote the story ["The Cartographers"], I'd just gone through a breakup with a woman I'd loved dearly. Without this other person in my life, the memories we'd shared often felt like phantoms. Who was this person I once loved? Did she still really exist? The answer, on a metaphysical level, was that this person didn't still exist. She'd gone on to become a different person, an individual with new hopes and dreams which no longer involved me.

• Cuando empecé a implicarme en el problema de la delincuencia, la gente decía: "es un problema local". Yo decía: "No, hay muchas maneras en que el gobierno federal puede ayudar". Y la mejor manera en que el gobierno federal puede ayudar, y lo hizo en la Ley contra el Crimen, es encontrar programas que funcionen en todo el país y ayudar a que se extiendan.

• ¿En cuanto a no retirarme? No quiero irme y pensar: "Quizá debería haberme quedado un poco más". Estoy dándole vueltas. He rechazado algunas ofertas de la Premier League. Pero el hecho es que, después de estar tanto tiempo en el Chelsea y un año en el Manchester City, no quiero verme envuelto en una lucha por el descenso.

• Tenía mucho tiempo para leer [siendo abogado] lo que no había leído en mis tiempos de escuela y universidad. Como era mal estudiante, apenas aprobaba los exámenes y apenas me preocupaba por los libros. Todo el tiempo era deporte. Empecé a leer y me interesé por la literatura y la escritura. Los pocos casos que llevé me dieron el material para mis primeros relatos cortos.

• I agree with those who argue that it is possible to distil from the religions of the world their common values and relevance. As far as I'm concerned I am involved in a complementary process with people who have a moral or spiritual commitment to human rights.

• I'm coming to a sense of a women's movement which was extraordinarily important in the struggle for freedom in Ireland and immediately afterwards, but then some of those women who were involved in the movement got involved in representative positions and perhaps some of them got a bit distanced from the grassroots issues. But also the women's movement itself seemed to say, "No, we've got our own government, our own parties in power" and they sat back.

• In my school, the library was forbidden. I was accused of turning on the radiator so that the [class]room was uninhabitable and the ceiling came down below; I'm pretty sure I didn't do it. But then we were moved to the library. And there was a really boring history thing, about the Spanish Armada: how could you make that boring?!So I reached my hand out, and slid a book off to read under the desk, and it opened at King Lear Act Four Scene Six. I was astounded. I'd never seen language like it. I was awestruck. I think that may be one reason why I got involved in theatre.
