Pages Quotes - Page 2

• A medida que la marea feminista que alcanzó su punto álgido hace dos décadas retrocede y vuelven los viejos juegos de avance y retirada del cortejo, "Orgullo y prejuicio" habla con nostalgia del momento. Elizabeth Bennet y Fitzwilliam Darcy son tentadores prototipos tempranos de un ideal Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy de amantes como inteligentes y apasionados sparrings. No cabe duda de que en el mundo abundan las fantasías sobre el Sr. Darcy y los de su calaña. Sin embargo, cuántos de su tipo se encuentran fuera de las páginas de una novela es otra cuestión.

• My problem is that while other people are reading fifty books I'm reading one book fifty times. I only stop when at the bottom of page 20, say, I realize I can recite pages 21 and 22 from memory. Then I put the book away for a few years.

• I didn't want a guru or a kung fu master or a spiritual director. I didn't want to become a sorcerer or learn the zen of archery or meditate or align my chakras or uncover mast incarnations...I was after something else entirely, but it wasn't in the Yellow Pages or anywhere else that I could discover.

• Pero en Hiroshima, algunas personas fueron borradas del mapa, dejando sólo un reloj de pulsera o la página de un diario. Así que no importa que tenga inhibiciones para llenar todos mis bolsillos, sigo intentándolo, con la esperanza de que algún día escriba un poema del que pueda sentirme orgulloso de dejar que repose en una exposición de museo como única prueba de que existí.

• Me gusta escribir mucho más que antes. Antes me daba miedo, pero ahora me he acostumbrado cuando empiezo. Antes me costaba empezar. Miedo a la página en blanco. Lo primero que escribes no tiene nada que ver con lo que tienes en la cabeza y eso siempre es decepcionante.

• Text is linear; it is black and white; it doesn't zoom around the page in 3-D; it isn't intelligent by itself; in fact, in terms of immediate reaction it is quite boring. I can't imagine a single preliterate was ever wowed at the first sight of text, and yet text has been the basis of arguably the most fundamental intellectual transformation of the human species. It and its subforms, such as algebra, have made science education for all a plausible goal.

• This intelligence, or what I'll call "the wisdom of crowds," is at work in the world in many different guises. It's the reason the Internet search engine Google can scan a billion Web pages and find the one page that has the exact piece of information you were looking for. It's the reason it's so hard to make money betting on NFL games, and it helps explain why, for the past fifteen years, a few hundred amateur traders in the middle of Iowa have done a better job of predicting election results than Gallup polls have.

• And now I send these pages forth, not knowing what shall befall them, but with the earnest prayer that they may be blessed to aid the cause of truth and righteousness, and that He in whose name they are written may, of His mercy, "Forgive them where they fail in truth, And in His wisdom make me wise."

• Dejar que los usuarios controlen tu sitio puede ser aterrador al principio. Desde el primer día nos preguntábamos: "¿Qué va a salir hoy en portada?". No tienes ni idea de lo que va a producir el sistema. Pero dar un paso atrás y dar el control a los consumidores es lo que ha hecho que cada vez más gente visite el sitio. Tienen un sentimiento de propiedad y descubrimiento al mismo tiempo. Si das a los usuarios las herramientas para difundir y compartir sus intereses con los demás, las utilizarán para promover lo que es importante para ellos.

• The seeming significance of nature's appearances, their unchanging strangeness to the senses, and the thrilling response which they awaken in the mind of man . . . If we could only write near enough to the facts, and yet with no pedestrian calm, but ardently, we might transfer the glamour of reality direct upon our pages.

• I'm afraid Dr. Mondrick chose an unfortunate publicity device. After all, the theory of human evolution is no longer front page news. Every known detail of the origin of mankind is extremely important to such a specialist as Dr. Mondrick, but it doesn't interest the man in the street - not unless it's dramatized.

• Did Ethan Smith's View of the Hebrews furnish structural material for Joseph Smith's Book of Mormon? It has been pointed out in these pages that there are many things in the former book that might well have suggested many major things in the other.Not a few things merely, one or two, or half dozen, but many; and it is this fact of many things of similarity and the cumulative force of them that makes them so serious a menace to Joseph Smith's story of the Book of Mormon's origin

• A book is a human-powered film projector (complete with feature film) that advances at a speed fully customized to the viewer's mood or fancy. This rare harmony between object and user arises from the minimal skills required to manipulate a bound sequence of pages. Each piece of paper embodies a corresponding instant of time which remains frozen until liberated by the
  act of turning a page.

• Love is like a lighthouse, a beacon in the dark. When you lose the path that lights your way, you feel that you have died, but I assure you, you have not. You are reaching out for help or you would not have found this page. So red these quotations, allow yourself to feel your pain and cry out your loss and anguish. As you let it go, you will find the strength and courage to put your relationship in perspective and move on.
