Remembering The Past Quotes - Page 3

• Neither mine nor other people's prospects seem particularly pleasing just at the moment, and I have fantasies of going to Iceland, never to return. As it is, I tell myself not to remember the past, not to hope or fear for the future, and not to think in the present, a comprehensive program that will undoubtedly have very little success.

• The museum is full of interesting things. All kinds of paintings are there. And then paintings too thick to put in a frame, that they call sculpture. And then there are spectators. with their scorecards, rooting for culture. And spectators of the spectators, looking for love's introduction. And art students taking notes. And old women trying to remember the past. And old men with too much to forget. And tourists, thinking that a museum represents a city. And loafers so poor, they study their soberness here.

  Marvin L. Cohen

• Sin los libros seríamos probablemente un pueblo aún primitivo que vive a la sombra de tradiciones que se desvanecen con los años hasta quedar sólo borrosas, y diferentes memorias recordarían el pasado de diferentes maneras. Sin libros, muy probablemente seríamos un pueblo aún primitivo que vive a la sombra de tradiciones que se desvanecen con el paso de los años hasta que sólo queda un borrón, y distintas memorias recordarían el pasado de distintas maneras. Un padre o un maestro sólo tienen su vida; un buen libro puede enseñar para siempre.

• The asymmetry of time, the arrow that points from past to future, plays an unmistakable role in our everyday lives: it accounts for why we cannot turn an omelet into an egg, why ice cubes never spontaneously unmelt in a glass of water, and why we remember the past but not the future. And the origin of the asymmetry we experience can be traced all the way back to the orderliness of the universe near the big bang. Every time you break an egg, you are doing observational cosmology.

• En cierto modo, más doloroso es el hecho de que su experiencia parece estar desapareciendo de la memoria colectiva de la humanidad. Al no haber experimentado nunca un bombardeo atómico, la inmensa mayoría del mundo sólo puede imaginar vagamente semejante horror, y hoy en día, Hiroshima, de John Hersey, y El destino de la Tierra, de Jonathan Schell, están prácticamente olvidadas. Como predice el dicho: "Quien no recuerda el pasado está condenado a repetirlo", la probabilidad de que se utilicen armas nucleares y el peligro de una guerra nuclear van en aumento.

• El progreso, lejos de consistir en el cambio, depende de la retención. Cuando el cambio es absoluto no queda ningún ser que mejorar y no se fija ninguna dirección para una posible mejora: y cuando no se retiene la experiencia, como entre los salvajes, la infancia es perpetua.

• Everybody is I, you all know you are you. And wheresoever's beings exist throughout all galaxies it doesn't any difference. You are all of them, and when they come into being that's you coming into being, you know that very well. Only you don't have to remember the past in the same way you don't have to think about how you work your thyroid gland. You don't have to know how to shine the sun, you just do it, like you breathe. Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing, and that you're doing all of this and you never had any education on how to do it.

  Alan Watts

• Boredom is the consciousness of repetition. Because animals cannot remember the past, they cannot feel bored. They cannot remember the past, so they cannot feel bored. They cannot remember the past, so they cannot feel the repetition. The buffalo goes on eating the same grass every day with the same delight. You cannot. How can you eat the same grass with the same delight? You get fed up.

• As the great philosopher George Santayana would have said, 'those who cannot remember the past . . . should simply read Jan Van Meter's Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.' Van Meter's greatest hits collection of slogans is the catchiest ever retelling of American history. It's like the greatest minds of Madison Avenue sat down to write a history book. They don't make sound bites like they used to!

• Immigrants who come to a country are going to lose something, for sure, but they hope to gain a great deal by making this journey, whereas refugees by definition have lost a tremendous amount - not just country and society, but also more personal things like careers, prestige, status, relatives, identities. This inevitably makes the longing to remember the past even more powerful among refugees, to the point of often debilitating them.

• I am dead already. Physical death will make no difference in my case. I am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future. Where there are no names and shapes, how can there be desire and fear? With desirelessness comes timelessness. I am safe, because what is not, cannot touch what is. You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger. Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable and needs protection. But not you. Once you realize your own unassailable being, you will be at peace.
