Permanent Quotes - Page 4

• There is no one who has no leisure time at all. The office is not a permanent sanctuary, and Sundays are an institution. Thus, in principle, during those beautiful hours of free time everyone would have the opportunity to rouse himself into real boredom. But although one wants to do nothing, things are done to one: the world makes sure that one does not find oneself. And even if one perhaps isn't interested in it, the world itself is much too interested for one to find the peace and quiet necessary to be as thoroughly bored with the world as it ultimately deserves.

  Siegfried Kracauer

  Beautiful, Real, Sunday

• Because when you kill 300 people, 400 people, who have nothing to do with the provocations Hezbollah staged, but you do it in effect deliberately by being indifferent to the scale of collateral damage, you're killing hostages in the hope of intimidating those that you want to intimidate. And more likely than not you will not intimidate them. You'll simply outrage them and make them into permanent enemies with the number of such enemies increasing.

  Zbigniew Brzezinski

• En mi opinión, el beneficio de la colonización permanente del espacio es nada menos que la supervivencia de la civilización industrial y, por tanto, la supervivencia de casi toda la raza humana, junto con comodidades como la paz, la libertad, suficiente comida y la posibilidad de llegar a una edad avanzada con buena salud.

• Una vez iniciadas, las luchas religiosas tienden a prolongarse y a convertirse en enemistades permanentes. Hoy vemos guerras interreligiosas intratables en Irlanda del Norte, entre judíos y musulmanes y cristianos en Palestina, entre hindúes y musulmanes en el sur de Asia y en muchos otros lugares. Los intentos de lograr la paz han fracasado una y otra vez. Siempre los elementos extremistas que invocan injusticias pasadas, imaginarias o reales, consiguen torpedear los esfuerzos de paz y provocar otro brote de hostilidad.

  Mahathir Mohamad

• There are many in public life who deserve only our praise and admiration. But there are too many who are products of a class that knows little other than spin and the machinations of politics. Little wonder that leadership of the transforming sort is so hard to come by. The danger is that this may be permanent. Where our best people shun politics because the profession isn't honoured as it once was, this only serves to make the profession even less honoured.

• The death penalty serves no one. It doesn't serve the victims. It doesn't serve prevention. It's truly all about retribution....There comes a time when you have to ask if a penalty that is so permanent can be available in such an imperfect system. The only guarantee against executing the innocent is to do away with the death penalty.

• In interviews, on the set, talking to people, I'll just start talking about my parents' divorce, and go on and on. My mom's always like, 'You don't have to be that honest. You have to be more fake.' You see some of these actors, they have a permanent smile on their face. How can they do that? It really fascinates me.
