Lumps Quotes - Page 8

• Women want a family life that glitters and is stable. They don't want some lump spouse watching ice hockey in the late hours of his eighteenth beer. They want a family that is so much fun and is so smart that they look forward to Thanksgiving rather than regarding it with a shudder. That's the glitter part. The stable part is, obviously, they don't want to be one bead on a long necklace of wives. They want, just like men, fun, love, fame, money and power. And equal pay for equal work.

  Carolyn See

• Más tarde, cuando pensé en las gallinas, me subió a la garganta uno de aquellos raros huevos de color azul pálido. Las gallinas habían formado parte de nuestra familia, y el huevo en mi garganta era la sensación de algo que faltaba. Era duro, liso y pesado, pero también tan frágil que podría romperse y hacerme llorar. Era la sensación de que me quedaba pequeña una camisa favorita, la leche derramada por el suelo, el último trozo de miel del tarro, la caída de las flores de manzano. Era el nudo en la garganta detrás de todo lo bello de la vida.

• Ponemos treinta radios para hacer una rueda: Pero el uso del carro depende del agujero del centro. Hacemos una vasija con un trozo de arcilla, pero es el espacio vacío dentro de la vasija lo que la hace útil. Hacemos puertas y ventanas para una habitación, pero son los espacios vacíos los que la hacen habitable. Así, aunque la existencia tiene ventajas, es el vacío lo que la hace útil.

  Laozi

• The problem with commodities is that you are betting on what someone else would pay for them in six months. The commodity itself isn't going to do anything for you....it is an entirely different game to buy a lump of something and hope that somebody else pays you more for that lump two years from now than it is to buy something that you expect to produce income for you over time.

  Warren Buffett

• What we get, we members of the Church, compared with the total mass that is distributed, is almost microscopic, but the spirit in which we might take it, the spirit in which we might spend it, is the leaven that might leaven the whole lump. Let us be patriotic; let us love the government under which we live.

• No son libros, trozos de papel sin vida, sino mentes vivas en las estanterías. De cada uno de ellos emana su propia voz... y del mismo modo que el toque de un botón de nuestro aparato llenará la habitación de música, al descolgar uno de estos volúmenes y abrirlo, uno puede llamar al rango de la voz de un hombre lejano en el tiempo y en el espacio, y oírle hablar con nosotros, mente a mente, corazón a corazón.

• Poner un trozo de mantequilla fresca en una sartén o huevera y dejar que se derrita, es decir, lo justo para que se esparza, y nunca, por supuesto, para que cruja o se asiente; abrir un huevo muy fresco en un plato pequeño o platillo y deslizarlo con cuidado en la sartén; cocerlo a fuego tan lento que la clara apenas se vuelva cremosa, y la yema se caliente pero permanezca líquida; en una sartén aparte, derretir otro trozo de mantequilla fresca; sacar el huevo a un plato de servir ligeramente calentado; salpimentarlo, y luego verter muy suavemente esta mantequilla fresca y caliente sobre él.

• The world is a glorious place, and filled with so many unexpected moments that I'd get lumps in my throat, as though I were watching a bride walk down the aisle - moments as eternal and full of love as the lifting of veils, the saying of vows and the moment of the first wedded kiss.

• Tentativamente, coloqué un gran trozo de madera sobre la tabla de cortar y la golpeé con el hacha. Voló en dos mitades perfectas. Fue tal mi euforia que entré corriendo en casa, puse nuestro antiguo disco rajado de Aretha Franklin cantando Respect y bailé sola durante media hora en nuestro salón, sin inhibiciones, casi llorando de júbilo, no sólo por la madera, sino porque podía vivir de forma competente alguna vez, y porque ese día me gustaba a mí misma.

• To me there is in happiness an element of self-forgetfulness. You lose yourself in something outside yourself when you are happy; just as when you are desperately miserable you are intensely conscious of yourself, are a solid little lump of ego weighing a ton.

• Indeed Christianity passes. Passes - it has gone! It has littered the beaches of life with churches, cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, prejudices and intolerances, like the sea urchin and starfish and empty shells and lumps of stinging jelly upon the sands here after a tide. A tidal wave out of Egypt. And it has left a multitude of little wriggling theologians and confessors and apologists hopping and burrowing in the warm nutritious sand. But in the hearts of living men, what remains of it now? Doubtful scraps of Arianism. Phrases. Sentiments. Habits.

  H. G. Wells
