Mortality Quotes - Page 6

• Como indica el aumento de la mortalidad materna en 2010, ahora mismo es más peligroso dar a luz en California que en Kuwait o Bosnia. Amnistía Internacional informa de que las mujeres [de Estados Unidos] tienen más riesgo de morir por complicaciones del embarazo que las mujeres de otros cuarenta y nueve países (las mujeres negras tienen casi cuatro veces más probabilidades de morir que las blancas). Estados Unidos gasta más que ningún otro país en atención a la salud materna y, sin embargo, nuestro riesgo de morir o estar a punto de morir durante el embarazo o el parto sigue siendo excesivamente alto.

• The advantages of a uniform statistical nomenclature, however im- perfect, are so obvious, that it is surprising no attention has been paid to its enforcement in bills of mortality. Each disease has in many instances been denoted by three or four terms, and each term has been applied to as many different diseases ; vague, inconvenient names have been employed, or complications have been registered, instead of primary diseases. The nomenclature is of as much importance in this depart- ment of inquiry as weights and measures in the physical sciences, and should be settled without delay.

• Clean water is a necessity that we can no longer take for granted. Each year more people die of water related diseases than any other cause of death on this planet. With a higher rate of suffering and mortality than diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, or war; or any two combined for that matter! An entire economy is growing around water. Those without money are suffering the most and risk severe illness from contaminated sources

• Now, more than ever, we need people in space... The events of September 11 show us how vulnerable we and our civilization are down here on Earth... So let us use our strength, our awareness of mortality as a civilization, to do something truly lasting and earth-shaking for humanity. Let us join with the peoples and cultures of this planet, the diversities of its perspectives and religions and science, so we can leave it-not behind, but as a springboard to something better.

• I think Bergman's films have eternal relevance, because they deal with the difficulty of personal relationships and lack of communication between people and religious aspirations and mortality, existential themes that will be relevant a thousand years from now. When many of the things that are successful and trendy today will have been long relegated to musty-looking antiques, his stuff will still be great.

• Las nubes que se ciernen en torno al sol poniente toman un color sobrio de un ojo que ha velado por la mortalidad del hombre; otra raza ha sido, y otras palmas se han ganado. Gracias al corazón humano por el que vivimos, gracias a su ternura, sus alegrías y temores, a mí la flor más mezquina que sopla puede darme pensamientos que a menudo son demasiado profundos para las lágrimas.

• Absolute power, as we have always known, corrupts absolutely; it corrupts because it does not do the trick for the individual. Reality always creeps in--the reality of our helplessness and our mortality; the reality that, despite our reach for the stars, a creaturely fate awaits us.

• Ningún sistema esclavista ha podido seguir funcionando con los esclavos que le proporcionaba su propia reproducción biológica, porque la tasa de reproducción humana es demasiado lenta y los gastos derivados de la mortalidad infantil y los años de mantenimiento improductivo de los jóvenes hacen que resulte prohibitivamente caro. Esta relación es una de las causas básicas de la Guerra Civil estadounidense, y fue aún más importante en la destrucción de la antigua Roma.

• The woe of mortality makes humans God-like. It is because we know that we must die that we are so busy making life. It is because we are aware of mortality that we preserve the past and create the future. Mortality is ours without asking--but immortality is something we must build ourselves. Immortality is not a mere absence of death; it is defiance and denial of death. It is 'meaningful' only because there is death, that implacable reality which is to be defied.

• The life of an aviator seemed to me ideal. It involved skill. It brought adventure. It made use of the latest developments of science. Mechanical engineers were fettered to factories and drafting boards while pilots have the freedom of wind with the expanse of sky. There were times in an aeroplane when it seemed I had escaped mortality to look down on earth like a God.
