Life Affirming Quotes - Page 2

• It feels intimate and life affirming to me when someone tweets things that appear to just be insane thoughts they had and typed out then tweeted immediately, with little or no regard for how others might perceive them, simply because they were in a state of emotional desperation and felt like they didn't want to express those thoughts to anyone else.

• I’ve always been a dreamer, have always believed in the power of love and art and loud, life-affirming rock and roll, but, for the first time, I’m starting to have doubts. Can a dream even exist in reality? Or does it turn to stone the second it leaves your mind?

• Resulta muy inspirador ver cómo un nuevo grupo se reúne no para centrarse en una guerra o un sistema de armamento concretos, sino en todas las guerras, en todas partes. Y es estupendo contar con argumentos tan bien elaborados sobre por qué la guerra no es inevitable y cómo contribuye a tantos otros males globales. Esta coalición es digna del llamamiento de Martin Luther King para poner fin a la violencia y, en su lugar, dedicar nuestras energías y recursos a "actividades que afirmen la vida". ¡Bravo!

• A diferencia de la mayoría de las herencias, la civilización occidental no es principalmente un lugar geográfico o un linaje genético. Es un estado mental. No importa en qué lugar de la tierra se haya nacido, para ser heredero de la ascendencia de la civilización occidental basta con jurar lealtad a la razón y a la libertad individual, los valores civilizados y de afirmación de la vida que representan "lo mejor de Occidente".

• I suppose I walk that line between comedy and cruelty because I think one illuminates the other. We're all cruel, aren't we? We are all extreme in one way or another at times and that's what drama, since the Greeks, has dealt with. I hope the overall view isn't just that though, or I've failed in my writing. There have to be moments when you glimpse something decent, something life-affirming even in the most twisted character. That's where the real art lies.

• El crecimiento también puede implicar la producción de servicios en lugar de bienes. En concreto, una gran expansión de los servicios públicos y asistenciales (como guarderías, educación, cuidado de ancianos y otros programas de afirmación de la vida) generaría enormes aumentos del PIB y de los ingresos, sin apenas impacto en el medio ambiente.

• There have to be moments when you glimpse something decent, something life-affirming even in the most twisted character. That's where the real art lies. See, I always suspect characters who are painted as lovely, decent human beings. I would always question where the darkness lies.
