Overhead Quotes - Page 4

• Pierdo mucho tiempo boquiabierto y maravillado. Durante un paseo, o en un libro, o en medio de un abrazo, de repente me despierto y me asombro de todo. El mero hecho de existir me paraliza, me tiene en vilo. Estar vivo es tan increíble que lo único que hago es quedarme quieto y respirar, como un bebé boca arriba en una cuna. Es imposible interesarse por nada en particular mientras sobre mi cabeza brilla el sol o bajo mis pies crece una sola brizna de hierba.

'That was my-' But i wasn't listening as,instead,i took every bit of the anger and stress of the last few minutes and days put it behind the ball, throwing it overhead at the basket as hard as i could.

• Cada año bombeamos al menos seis mil millones de toneladas de carbono que atrapa el calor a la capa más interna de nuestra atmósfera, cuya extensión exterior es de sólo unos doce kilómetros por encima de la cabeza. Según un informe del IPCC (Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático de las Naciones Unidas) publicado este año, el CO2 atmosférico, si no se controla la acumulación, se duplicará con respecto a su nivel preindustrial en el próximo siglo. Esa duplicación del CO2 se correlaciona con un aumento de la temperatura global de al menos tres a ocho grados Fahrenheit. La última glaciación fue entre cinco y nueve grados más fría que el clima actual.

• Just sit tight. Reinforcements should be here soon. Hopefully nothing happens before-" Lightning crackled overhead. The wind picked up with a vengeance. Worksheets flew into the Grand Canyon, and the entire bridge shuddered. Kids screamed, stumbling and grabbing the rails. "I had to say something," Hedge grumbled. He bellowed into his megaphone: "Everyone inside! The cow says moo! Off the skywalk!" "I thought you said this thing was stable!" Jason shouted over the wind.

• With the aurora borealis flaming coldly overhead, or the stars leaping in the frost dance, and the land numb and frozen under its pall of snow, this song of the huskies might have been the defiance of life, only it was pitched in minor key, with long-drawn wailings and half-sobs, and was more the pleading of life, the articulate travail of existence. It was an old song, old as the breed itself--one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.

• For many of us, the computer is the means by which we earn a living. To give it a nod, then, is a way of thanking the tool for what it provides in life. It helps put bread on the table and a roof overhead. It gives us work and pleasure, exercises our minds, brings us information, connects us with other people. It is a partner helping us achieve our goals. Nodding also thanks the unseen hands and minds who helped create our machine.

• The voice of God does not pander, offers no five-year plan, no long-term
  solution, nary an edict. It is small & fond & local. Don't look for your initials in the geese
  honking overhead or to see thru the glass even darkly. It says the most obvious crap - put down that gun, you need a sandwich.

• Cuando tenía 20 años, me planteé dejarlo. Estaba en el primer evento de la temporada y escuché una conversación entre dos chicas. Una le dijo a la otra: "Dios todavía te ama", y eso me llamó la atención. Más tarde, ese mismo día, me encontré con la chica y le pregunté qué quería decir. Hasta entonces, nunca había pensado en Dios. Pero había una innegable conmoción en mí y no podía ignorarla.
