Ruthless Quotes - Page 5

• En un mundo que se ha entregado en gran medida a una loca y a menudo brutalmente dura carrera por el beneficio material por medio de una competencia despiadada, corresponde a la escuela hacer un esfuerzo incesante e inteligentemente organizado para desarrollar por encima de todo la voluntad de cooperación y el espíritu que ve en cada individuo a uno que tiene el mismo derecho a compartir los frutos culturales y materiales de la invención humana colectiva, la industria, la habilidad y el conocimiento.

  John Dewey

• En épocas pasadas, la ley que regía la supervivencia de los más aptos eliminaba las cepas menos deseables. Luego, el nuevo sentido de piedad del hombre empezó a interferir con el implacable funcionamiento de la naturaleza. Como resultado, seguimos manteniendo con vida y criando a los no aptos.

• Es fácil creer que eres el hipnotizador, el maestro del espejismo, el listo que sabe lo que es real y cómo se hacen todos los trucos. Pero lo cierto es que no eres más que otro espectador boquiabierto. No importa lo bueno que seas, este mundo siempre va a ser mejor en este juego. Es más astuto que tú, más rápido y mucho más despiadado. Lo único que puedes hacer es intentar seguirle el ritmo, conocer tus puntos débiles y no dejar nunca de esperar el golpe de gracia.

  Tana French

• Apoyo, defiendo y admiro a las prostitutas, homosexuales o heterosexuales. Hacen un trabajo importante y necesario, les guste o no a los moralistas de izquierda y derecha. Las feministas que piensan que pueden abolir el comercio sexual se encuentran en un estado de engaño masivo. Sólo un régimen despiadado y fascista a gran escala podría erradicar el impulso sexual canalla que es indistinguible de la fuerza vital. Simplemente en el mundo occidental, la sexualidad pagana ha sobrevivido a 2000 años de persecución judeocristiana y difícilmente va a ser derrotada por unas cuantas feministas golpeándola con sus escobas.

• No siento ninguna simpatía por él. Ojalá le hubiéramos metido 10 goles. Al fin y al cabo, tenemos que ser implacables y nuestro objetivo es ganar. Si hubieran marcado tres o cuatro, nadie habría dicho ¿lo sientes por Mark Bosnich? No lo sentimos por Craig Forrest.

• El sexo es la única cosa que realmente no se puede estafar; y es el centro de la peor estafa de todas, la estafa emocional.... El sexo arremete contra la emoción falsificada, y es implacable, devastador contra el falso amor.

• Invade me now, my ruthless friend,
  
  And make me cower in the dark.
  
  Remind me that I'm all alone
  
  And draw upon my face your mark.
  
  How is it that you capture me,
  
  When all my thoughts deny your force?
  
  Is it the reptile in my brain
  
  That lets your terror run its course?
  
  
  
  Baseless Fear undoes us all
  
  Despite our quest for lofty goals.
  
  We would-be Galahads don't die,
  
  Fear just freezes all our souls.
  
  It keeps us mute when feeling love,
  
  Reminding us what we might lose.
  
  And if by chance we meet success,
  
  Fear tells us which safe route to choose.

• It always seems to me that one of the saddest things about the death of a literary man is the fact that the breaking-up of his collection of books almost invariably follows; the building up of a good library, the work of a lifetime, has been so much labour lost, so far as future generations are concerned. Talent, yes, and genius too, are displayed not only in writing books but also in buying them, and it is a pity that the ruthless hammer of the auctioneer should render so much energy and skill fruitless.

• [Jesus] matters because of what he brought and what he still brings to ordinary human beings, living their ordinary lives and coping daily with their surroundings. He promises wholeness for their lives. In sharing our weaknesses he gives us strength and and imparts through his companionship a life that has the quality of eternity."

• My husband is my most ruthless critic... sometimes he will say, 'It's been said better before.' Of course it has. It's all been said better before. If I thought I had to say it better than anybody else, I'd never start. Better or worse is immaterial. The thing is that it has to be said; by me; ontologically. We each have to say it, to say it our own way. Not of our own will, but as it comes out through us. Good or bad, great or little: that isn't what human creation is about. It is that we have to try; to put it down in pigment, or words, or musical notations, or we die.

• So if you're not Artemis Fowl, then who are you?" The boy extended a dripping hand straight up. "My name is Orion. I am so pleased to meet you at last. I am, of course, your servant." Holly shook the proferred hand, thinking that manners were lovely, but she really needed someone cunning and ruthless right now, and this kid didn't appear to be very cunning.

• Do you know," he said, "there are men who would like very much to see me dead. Powerful men. Obscenely wealthy me. Men who can afford to be patient and engage the services of large, ruthless brutes. I've managed to evade them all. But you...God's truth, I think you'll be the very death of me.

• The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' is worth any number of old ladies.

• I've been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn't like that at all. It is beautiful, but it's a terrible beauty, a ruthless one, and you fall-you fall, and the thing is- The thing is you want to. You don't care what's coming you just want who your heart beats for.
