Pinnacle Quotes - Page 3

• The rabbis, the Jewish religious people, the priests of the temple of Jerusalem, they were learned fools. They could not tolerate Jesus. The learned fools are always disturbed by the blessed fools. They had to murder him because his very presence was uncomfortable; his very presence was such a pinnacle of peace, love, compassion and light, that all the learned fools became aware that their whole being was at stake. If this man lived then they were fools, and the only way to get rid of this man was to destroy him so they could. again become the learned people of the race.

• El hombre lleva aquí 32.000 años. Que se tardara cien millones de años en preparar el mundo para él es una prueba de que se hizo para eso. Supongo que sí, no sé. Si la Torre Eiffel representara ahora la edad del mundo, la piel de pintura en el pomo del pináculo en su cima representaría la parte del hombre en esa edad; y cualquiera percibiría que la piel es para lo que se construyó la torre. Yo creo que sí, no sé.

• Not exactly. I see a girl who wants to present someone special to the world. Someone beautiful. The pinnacle of beauty. But she has lost her hold on reality. Real beauty isn’t thin. It isn’t size two, unless you happen to be four foot ten. What the world sees when they look at you is someone who believes self-worth is all about how she looks, and that very often means that what she’s missing is love. Not someone else’s love. But love and respect for herself.

• Que tus ríos fluyan sin fin... hacia un desierto de rocas rojas, mesetas azules, cúpulas y pináculos y grutas de piedra sin fin, y de nuevo hacia un profundo, vasto y antiguo abismo desconocido donde los rayos del sol resplandecen en los acantilados perfilados... donde algo extraño y más hermoso y más lleno de maravillas que tus sueños más profundos te espera, más allá de la próxima curva de las paredes del cañón.

• It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.

• En realidad, las probabilidades de llegar a la cúspide de la sociedad capitalista actual son sólo ligeramente mejores que las de ser aceptado en la nobleza francesa hace cuatro siglos, aunque al menos una época aristocrática era más franca, y por tanto más amable, con las probabilidades. No exageraba implacablemente las posibilidades abiertas a todos y, por tanto, no equiparaba cruelmente una vida ordinaria con una vida fracasada.

• Gazing around, looking up at the lofty pinnacles above, which seemed to pierce the sky, looking down upon the world,-\-\it seemed the whole world, so limitless it stretched away at her feet,-\-\feeling that infinite unspeakable sense of nearness to Heaven, remoteness from earth which comes only on mountain heights, she drew in a long breath of delight, and cried: "At last! at last, Alessandro! Here we are safe! This is freedom! This is joy!

• The most extraordinary of all the things called miracles, related in the New Testament, is that of the devil flying away with Jesus Christ, and carrying him to the top of a high mountain; and to the top of the highest pinnacle of the temple, and showing him and promising to him all the kingdoms of the world . How happened it that he did not discover America? or is it only with kingdoms that his sooty highness has any interest.

• El estudiante que quiere construir su conocimiento sobre bases sólidas, y proceder por grados justos a los pináculos de la verdad, es dirigido por el gran filósofo de Francia para comenzar dudando de su propia existencia. Del mismo modo, quien quiera completar cualquier empresa ardua e intrincada, debe, tan pronto como su imaginación pueda enfriarse después del primer resplandor de esperanza, poner ante sus propios ojos todas las posibles vergüenzas que puedan retrasarlo o derrotarlo. Primero debe cuestionar la probabilidad de éxito, y luego esforzarse por eliminar las objeciones que ha planteado.

• I'd been acting and doing stand-up in New York about eight years, getting rejected, and I finally got the opportunity to do stand-up on Letterman, which holds even more importance for me. With comedians, that's definitely the pinnacle, but being from Indiana, it was a big to-do.

• You must have this charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needful is charm.

• You start admiring someone who's famous for actually doing something---imagine that---and I swear to you I will buy you every item in her entire wardrobe.

• ¿Quieres saber cuál es la mayor ilusión sobre el éxito? Que es como un pináculo que hay que escalar, una cosa que hay que poseer o un resultado estático que hay que conseguir. Si quieres tener éxito, si quieres lograr todos tus resultados, tienes que pensar en el éxito como un proceso, una forma de vida, un hábito mental, una estrategia para la vida.
