Self Consciousness Quotes - Page 6

• Dios, pero la vida es soledad, a pesar de todos los opiáceos, a pesar de la estridente alegría de oropel de las "fiestas" sin propósito, a pesar de las falsas caras sonrientes que todos llevamos. Y cuando por fin encuentras a alguien a quien puedes contarle tu alma, te sorprendes de las palabras que pronuncias: están tan oxidadas, tan feas, tan vacías de significado y tan débiles por haber permanecido tanto tiempo en la pequeña y estrecha oscuridad de tu interior. Sí, hay alegría, satisfacción y compañía, pero la soledad del alma en su atroz autoconciencia es horrible y abrumadora.

  Sylvia Plath

• Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.

  Tom Hiddleston

• I think those moments in Patti's [Smith] bedroom really helped the film [Dream of Life] out, and those moments existed because of the trust between us. There isn't any real self-consciousness in the film because we all like each other.

• There's a small percentage of people who can act. There's a small percentage who get to do this for a living. There's a swath of the population that are able to keep a story in their head and fight all the battles against self-consciousness and the surreal unnaturalness of acting in a movie. The technical aspects you can learn fairly quickly.

• Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What's hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it.

• It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator, our very self-consciousness, is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution.

• Cuando uno pasa de una actividad, o del verbo, de escribir o hacer, y se convierte en un sustantivo, como "escritor", creo que es un acto de suprema autoconciencia que, en efecto, nunca he hecho. Escribo, pero no me gusta considerarme escritor. Creo que es un tanto engreído y pretencioso. Ahora bien, soy profesor.

• No soy más que una gigantesca bola de miedo rancio y timidez. Estoy totalmente alimentado por el miedo, así que el hecho de saber que podía ser un desastre catastrófico me impedía dormir y me hacía trabajar bastante.

• Like most qualities, cuteness is delineated by what it isn't. Most people aren't cute at all, or if so they quickly outgrow their cuteness ... Elegance, grace, delicacy, beauty, and a lack of self-consciousness: a creature who knows he is cute soon isn't.

  William S. Burroughs

• Al igual que el exceso de alcohol, la autoconciencia nos hace vernos a nosotros mismos por partida doble, y hacemos de la doble imagen dos yoes: mental y material, controlador y controlado, reflexivo y espontáneo. Así, en lugar de sufrir, sufrimos por sufrir, y sufrimos por sufrir por sufrir.

• Se recostó en la silla, mirando al frente, sabiendo que él era tan consciente de ella como ella de él. Encontraba placer en la especial timidez que eso le producía. Cuando cruzaba las piernas, cuando apoyaba el brazo en el alféizar de la ventana, cuando se apartaba el pelo de la frente... cada movimiento de su cuerpo estaba subrayado por una sensación cuyas palabras no admitidas eran: ¿Lo está viendo?

• Physio-philosophy has to show how, and in accordance indeed with what laws, the Material took its origin; and, therefore, how something derived its existence from nothing. It has to portray the first periods of the world's development from nothing; how the elements and heavenly bodies originated; in what method by self-evolution into higher and manifold forms, they separated into minerals, became finally organic, and in Man attained self-consciousness.

  Lorenz Oken

• Si la luna, en el acto de completar su eterno camino alrededor de la tierra, estuviera dotada de autoconciencia, se sentiría plenamente convencida de que está recorriendo su camino por su propia voluntad en virtud de una resolución tomada de una vez por todas. Del mismo modo, un Ser dotado de una perspicacia superior y de una inteligencia más perfecta, observando al hombre y sus actos, sonreiría ante la ilusión del hombre de actuar según su libre albedrío.

  Albert Einstein
