Repulsion Quotes - Page 2

• Love has been taken away from the poets, and has been brought within the domain of true science. It may prove to be one of the great cosmic elementary forces. When the atom of hydrogen draws the atom of chlorine towards it to form the perfected molecule of hydrochloric acid, the force which it exerts may be intrinsically similar to that which draws me to you. Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction.

• In Italy, on the breaking up of the Roman Empire, society might be said to be resolved into its original elements, - into hostile atoms, whose only movement was that of mutual repulsion.

• The Word 'Repulse': I hate this word. I believe 'repel' is a perfectly good word, and 'repulsion' is the noun, as well as the title of an excellent Dinosaur Jr. song. A compulsion compels you; an impulse impels you. Nobody ever says 'compulse' or 'impulse' as a verb. So why would you ever say 'repulse'? This word haunts me in my sleep, like a silver dagger dancing before my eyes. Renee looked it up and I was wrong. But I still kind of think I'm right.

• But the self-controlled man, moving among objects, with his senses under restraint, and free from both attraction and repulsion, attains peace.

• In the West, there's a myth that freedom means free expression-that to follow all desires wherever they take one is true freedom. In fact, as one serves the mind, one sees that following desires, attractions, and repulsions is not at all freedom, but is a kind of bondage. A mind filled with desires and grasping inevitably entails great suffering. Freedom is not to be gained through the ability to perform certain external actions. True freedom is an inward state of being. Once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.

• Lo que pone en movimiento los mundos es la interacción de las diferencias, sus atracciones y repulsiones. La vida es pluralidad, la muerte es uniformidad. Al suprimir las diferencias y peculiaridades, al eliminar las diferentes civilizaciones y culturas, el progreso debilita la vida y favorece la muerte. El ideal de una civilización única para todos, implícito en el culto al progreso y a la técnica, nos empobrece y mutila. Cada visión del mundo que se extingue, cada cultura que desaparece, disminuye una posibilidad de vida

• Aunque se caigan las flores, no te arrepientas. Aunque crezcan malas hierbas, no las odies. No despiertes las pasiones de atracción y repulsión, odio y amor. Si tan sólo no despertamos las pasiones, la caída de las flores y el crecimiento de las malas hierbas tal como son es la realidad absoluta manifiesta.

• He walked on without resting. He had a terrible longing for some distraction, but he did not know what to do, what to attempt. A new overwhelming sensation was gaining more and more mastery over him every moment; this was an immeasurable, almost physical, repulsion for everything surrounding him, an obstinate, malignant feeling of hatred. All who met him were loathsome to him - he loathed their faces, their movements, their gestures. If anyone had addressed him, he felt that he might have spat at him or bitten him... .

• After telling the hard facts to anyone from lover to friend, I have changed in their eyes. Often it is awe or admiration, sometimes it is repulsion, once or twice it has been fury hurled directly at me for reasons I remain unsure of.

• Un tendero se siente atraído por su negocio por una fuerza magnética tan grande como la repulsión que lo hace odioso para los artistas.

• La semejanza familiar a menudo encierra una profunda tristeza. La naturaleza, esa gran dramaturga trágica, nos une por los huesos y los músculos, y nos divide por la red más sutil de nuestros cerebros; mezcla el anhelo y la repulsión, y nos ata por las cuerdas del corazón a los seres que nos sacuden a cada movimiento.

• Among the repulsions of atheism for me has been its drastic un-interestingness as an intellectual position. Where was the ingenuity, the ambiguity, the humanity of saying that the universe just happened to happen and that when we're dead we're dead?

• Todos alteramos y somos alterados por todos los demás. Estamos todo el tiempo absorbiendo partes de los demás o reaccionando contra ellos, y mediante estas adquisiciones y repulsiones involuntarias modificamos nuestra naturaleza.

• Religion in the West has a very wrong connotation. It has almost reached to a point where the very word 'religion' creates a repulsion, where the very word 'religion' reminds one of dead churches and dead priests. It reminds one of serious looking people, long faces. It has lost the capacity to dance, to sing, to celebrate. And when a religion has lost the capacity to dance, to celebrate, to sing, to love, just to be, then it is no more religion - it is a corpse, it is theology. Theology is dead religion.

• El camino de la autopurificación es duro y escarpado. Uno tiene que volverse absolutamente libre de pasiones en pensamiento, palabra y acción para elevarse por encima de las corrientes opuestas de amor y odio, apego y repulsión. Sé que todavía no tengo en mí esa triple pureza, a pesar de esforzarme incesantemente por conseguirla. Por eso los elogios del mundo no me conmueven, es más, muy a menudo me escuecen. Conquistar las pasiones sutiles me parece mucho más difícil que la conquista física del mundo por la fuerza de las armas.

• The saints, many of them women, warred with themselves as well as God. The body has its own animal urges, just as there are attractions and repulsions in sex that modern liberalism cannot face.
