Reflexes Quotes - Page 6

• Una mujer que siempre pudiera amar nunca envejecería; y el amor de madre y esposa a menudo daría o conservaría muchos encantos si no se combinara con demasiada frecuencia con la ira paterna y conyugal. Queda en el rostro de las mujeres que son naturalmente serenas y pacíficas, y en el de las que se vuelven así por la religión, un después de la primavera, y más tarde un después del verano, el reflejo de su más bello florecimiento.

  Jean Paul

  Amor, Hermoso, Verano

• ¿Fácil? Los hombres no tenéis ni idea de lo que tenemos que hacer ahí abajo. La colocación de los dientes, y la tensión de la mandíbula, y la succión, y el reflejo nauseoso, y todo el tiempo moviéndose arriba y abajo, gimiendo y tratando de respirar por la nariz. ¿Fácil? ¡Cariño, no lo llaman trabajo por nada!

• When it comes to reflexes, I'm like a cat. I'm Catwoman. I'm invulnerable. The only reason he got a piece of me is because of the rain. Cats don't like water. It impairs us. It's our kryptonite.

• That man was beautiful. Timing, speed, reflexes, rhythm, his body, everything was beautiful. And to me, still, I would say pound for pound... I'd say I'm the greatest heavyweight of all time, but pound for pound, I still say Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest of all time.

• Baseball is a spirited race of man against man, reflex against reflex. A game of inches. Every skill is measured. Every heroic, every failing is seen and cheered, or booed. And then becomes a statistic.

• Sin embargo, seguí empujando contra el negro, casi como un reflejo. No intentaba levantarlo. Sólo me resistía. No dejaba que me aplastara por completo. No era Atlas, y el negro me parecía tan pesado como un planeta; no podía cargar con él. Lo único que podía hacer era no quedar completamente aniquilado.

• Because we lack sharp claws, aren't very fast on our feet, and aren't exactly endowed with lightning reflexes, it would be very difficult if not impossible for us to run down an animal, catch it with our bare hands, and tear through its fur and skin in order to eat it. Biologically, we are designed to be frugivorous herbivores eating mainly fruits, seeds, roots, and leaves.

• The everyday brain could be dubbed "the baseline brain," because it operates at the minimum functioning to keep you alive and healthy. It controls your heart rate, your blood pressure, your immune function, all of your subconscious impulses. That's not a minor role; the baseline brain is a marvel of complexity and efficiency. But too much of it is devoted to habits, old conditioning, unconscious reflexes, and lack of self-awareness.

• How old are you? If your first reflex is to reply with your chronological age, the number on your birth certificate, you are only one-third correct. There are actually two additional, and more important, indicators of age. And the exciting news is that it is within your power to adjust both of these other "age indicators" and truly grow younger and live longer.

• El conductismo propone estudiar el comportamiento humano según los métodos desarrollados por la psicología animal e infantil. Pretende investigar los reflejos y los instintos, los automatismos y las reacciones inconscientes. Pero no nos ha dicho nada sobre los reflejos que han construido catedrales, ferrocarriles y fortalezas, los instintos que han producido filosofías, poemas y sistemas jurídicos, los automatismos que han dado lugar al crecimiento y decadencia de imperios, las reacciones inconscientes que están dividiendo átomos.

• The soul of the truly benevolent man does not seem to reside much in his own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the lives of others. It migrates into their bodies, and identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains.

• Siempre me he considerado un fracasado: Siento que nunca he hecho nada del todo bien. [...] Todo el mundo te dirá: "Oh, no, ¿cómo puedes decir eso, porque diez mil personas te aplauden una noche?". Pero en parte es un acto reflejo y en parte es porque eres razonablemente bueno. Pero si eres genial, eso es otra cosa.

• Porque no podemos entender adecuadamente al "hombre" como una criatura biológica aislada, como un conjunto de reflejos o instintos, como un "campo inteligible" o un sistema en sí mismo. Sea lo que sea, el hombre es un actor social e histórico que debe entenderse, en todo caso, en estrecha e intrincada interacción con las estructuras sociales e históricas.

• Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God. Don't say, "I will endure this until I can get away and pray." Pray now - draw on the grace of God in your moment of need. Prayer is the most normal and useful thing; it is not simply a reflex action of your devotion to God. We are very slow to learn to draw on God's grace through prayer.
