Remoteness Quotes

• Con las ideas ocurre como con las alturas vertiginosas a las que se sube: Al principio te causan incomodidad y estás ansioso por bajar, desconfiando de tus propias fuerzas; pero pronto la lejanía de la agitación de la vida y la influencia inspiradora de la altitud calman tu sangre; tu paso se vuelve firme y seguro y empiezas a buscar... alturas más vertiginosas.

• Un universo sin propósito no debería deprimirnos ni sugerir que nuestras vidas carecen de propósito. A través de una asombrosa historia cósmica nos encontramos en este remoto planeta, en un remoto rincón del universo, dotados de inteligencia y autoconciencia. No debemos desesperar, sino alegrarnos humildemente de aprovechar al máximo estos dones y celebrar nuestro breve momento bajo el sol.

  Lawrence M. Krauss

• La perspectiva, como señaló su inventor, es algo hermoso. ¡Qué horrores de chozas húmedas, donde languidecen seres humanos, no pueden volverse pintorescos a través de la distancia aérea! ¡Qué himnos de vicios cancerosos no podemos languidecer como el arte más sublime en la segura lejanía de un lenguaje extraño y una frase artificial! Sin embargo, mantenemos una repugnancia al reumatismo y a otros efectos dolorosos cuando se presentan en nuestra experiencia personal.

• There are 60 million of us [britains] crammed into an area the size of a state. So you don't have that feeling of remoteness at all, ever. And that's reflected in the way our media works, and so on.

• I could not help feeling that they were evil things-- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss. That seething , half-luminous cloud-background held ineffable suggestions of a vague, ethereal beyondness far more than terrestrially spatial; and gave appalling reminders of the utter remoteness, separateness, desolation, and aeon-long death of this untrodden and unfathomed austral world.

• In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining forthe metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.

• Let us turn to our own childhoods-no further-if we will renew our sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.

• El mundo es un mundo, y es más completo en su ser que el reino tangible y perceptible en el que creemos estar en casa... Mediante la apertura de un mundo, todas las cosas adquieren su demora y su precipitación, su lejanía y su cercanía, su alcance y sus límites. En la mundanidad de un mundo se reúne esa amplitud a partir de la cual se concede y se retiene la gracia protectora de los dioses. Incluso esta fatalidad de que el dios permanezca ausente es una forma en la que los mundos del mundo... Todo llegar a la presencia... se mantiene oculto hasta el final.

• Those who dislike fantasy are very often equally bored or repelled by science. They don't like either hobbits, or quasars; they don't feel at home with them; they don't want complexities, remoteness. If there is any such connection, I'll bet that it is basically an aesthetic one

• The Australians, it seems to me, thrive on their remoteness from the world and see it as a way of keeping up a code of "No worries, mate," while peddling their oddities to visitors: nonconformity is at once a fact of life for many, and a selling point.

• No, he probably wouldn't mention it - except to another flier. Then they will talk for hours. They will re-create all the things seen and felt in that wonderful world of air: the sense of remoteness from the busy world below, the feeling of intense brotherhood formed with those who man the radio ranges and control towers and weather stations that bring the pilot home, the clouds and the colors, the surge of the wind on their wings.

• Whenever I start thinking of my love for a person, I am in the habit of immediately drawing radii from my love - from my heart, from the tender nucleus of a personal matter- to monstrously remote points of the universe. Something impels me to measure the consciousness of my love against such unimaginable and incalculable things as the behaviour of nebulae (whose very remoteness seems a form of insanity), the dreadful pitfalls of eternity, the unknowledgeable beyond the unknown, the helplessness, the cold, the sickening involutions and interpenetrations of space and time.

• Either... the moving intelligences of the planets are weakest in those that are farthest from the sun, or... there is one moving intelligence in the sun, the common center, forcing them all round, but those most violently which are nearest, and that it languishes in some sort and grows weaker at the most distant, because of the remoteness and the attenuation of the virtue.

• 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!
