Limbo Quotes - Page 2

• El libro que el lector tiene ahora en sus manos, de punta a punta, en su conjunto y en sus detalles, cualesquiera que sean las lagunas, excepciones o debilidades que pueda contener, trata del avance del mal al bien, de la injusticia a la justicia, de la falsedad a la verdad, de la oscuridad a la luz del día, del apetito ciego a la conciencia, de la decadencia a la vida, de la bestialidad al deber, del infierno al cielo, del limbo a Dios. La materia misma es el punto de partida, y el punto de llegada es el alma. Hidra al principio, ángel al final.

  Victor Hugo

• ...the long train ride was like traveling through limbo. You weren't anywhere when you were on a train, she decided. You weren't where you had been, and you weren't yet where you were going. You were nowhere. It might be beautiful outside the window-and it was, she had sense enough to realize that-but it wasn't anywhere to her, just a scene passing by that was framed by the train window. (p160)

• Funny thing, your brain, how it always functions on one level or another. How, even stuck in some sort of subconcious limbo, it works your lungs, your muscle twitches, your heart, in fact, in symphony with your heart, allowing it to feel love. Pain. Jealousy. Guilt. I wonder if it’s the same for people, lost in comas. Is there really such a thing

• Never have I enjoyed youth so thoroughly as I have in my old age. In writing Dialogues in Limbo, The Last Puritan, and now all these descriptions of the friends of my youth and the young friends of my middle age, I have drunk the pleasure of life more pure, more joyful than it ever was when mingled with all the hidden anxieties and little annoyances of actual living. Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure.

• Through this atmosphere of torrid splendor moved wan beings as richly upholstered as the furniture, beings without definite pursuits or permanent relations, who drifted on a languid tide of curiosity... Somewhere behind them, in the background of their lives there was doubtless a real past, yet they had no more real existence than the poet's shades in limbo.

• Una persona privada de belleza y placer me hace pensar en la noción haitiana de zombi: una persona desconectada de su alma, una persona que trabaja para el beneficio de otros pero nunca para el suyo propio, una persona que cumple sin pensar las órdenes del jefe y existe en un limbo emocional y mental.

• As a competitor, winner or loser, one crosses the line into limbo. The adrenaline is gone, the anticipation is gone. The verdict is either comforting or devestating but it neithers returns the exhilaration of the race nor helps directly to win the next. Maybe all that matters is that there is a next.

• My mother always told me if I really didn't wan to do something, if I was really tired, but if I had helped someone and I really went out of my way for them but I asked nothing for it, that I should donate my energy to the souls in purgatory-meaning that to give my goodness to those who are trapped. This is purgatory/limbo. This is a very Catholic thing that very few people really understand.
