Orderly Quotes - Page 10

• No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.

  Randolph Bourne

• The conservative response to modernity is to embrace it, but to embrace it critically, in full consciousness that human achievements are rare and precarious, that we have no God-given right to destroy our inheritance, but must always patiently submit to the voice of order, and set an example of orderly living.

• Tal vez no haya ningún otro factor que contribuya tanto a la frecuente renuencia de la gente a dejar que el mercado funcione como su incapacidad para concebir cómo se logrará algún equilibrio necesario, entre la demanda y la oferta, entre las exportaciones y las importaciones, o cosas por el estilo, sin un control deliberado. El conservador sólo se siente seguro y contento si tiene la certeza de que alguna sabiduría superior vigila y supervisa el cambio, sólo si sabe que alguna autoridad se encarga de mantener el cambio "ordenado".

• I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, not in a chaos without norms, even though that is how it sometimes appears. My subjects are also often playful: I cannot refrain from demonstrating the nonsensicalness of some of what we take to be irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure to deliberately mix together objects of two and three dimensions, surface and spatial relationships, and to make fun of gravity.

• Para mí, el Evangelio no es una gran masa de jerga teológica. Es algo sencillo, bello y lógico, con una verdad tranquila que sigue a otra en una secuencia ordenada. No me preocupo por los misterios. No me preocupa si las puertas celestiales se abren o se cierran. Sólo me preocupa que se abran.

• There is Harlan Ellison the human being, who takes a crap a couple of times a day, and who farts, and who eats chicken croquettes, if I can find them. And then there is the writer, this writer-person, who is a much finer person than I. Much more orderly, much more meaningful. Worthier, than I [am].

• Resulta tentador creer que las cosas malas le ocurren a la gente (sobre todo a los demás) porque Dios es un juez justo que les da exactamente lo que se merecen. Creyendo eso mantenemos el mundo ordenado y comprensible.... Pero [esta creencia] tiene una serie de graves limitaciones.... Enseña a la gente a culparse a sí misma. Crea culpabilidad cuando no hay base para ello. Y lo más inquietante de todo es que ni siquiera se ajusta a los hechos.

  Harold S. Kushner

• There's also something about your bed; it's sort of a symbol of yourself and of your marriage, if you're married. Making your bed doesn't seem to be an important thing in a happy life, and yet it can be that tiny foothold into a more orderly life that sometimes people need.

• America, like Britain before her, is now the great defender of the Status Quo. She has committed herself against revolution and radical change in the underdeveloped world because independent governments would destroy the world economic and political system, which assures the United States its disproportionate share of economic and political power ... America's preeminent wealth depends upon keeping things in the underdeveloped world much as they are, allowing change and modernization to proceed only in a controlled, orderly, and nonthreatening way.
