Specifics Quotes - Page 3

• Members in the Commonwealth of God are not bound together by the specifics of their religion, for the nature of our interdependency does not require this. Rather we are bound by the shared recognition that when one person suffers, all suffer; when we violate one life, all lives are violated; when we pollute the earth, all living things are stained; when one nation threatens the security of another, it, too, becomes less secure; when we place the planet in mortal danger, we hazard the future of our own children as well as the children of our enemies.

• Much of the research into humans' risk-avoidance machinery shows that it is antiquated and unfit for the modern world; it is made to counter repeatable attacks and learn from specifics. If someone narrowly escapes being eaten by a tiger in a certain cave, then he learns to avoid that cave.

• Si no se tratara de una escena caótica, si fuera una evacuación ordenada, podríamos darle detalles sobre cuáles serían nuestras preferencias, como evacuar primero a los discapacitados, luego a los ancianos y a los bebés.

• Si hablamos de generalidades, nunca tendremos éxito. Si hablamos de cosas concretas, rara vez fracasaremos. Cuando se mide el rendimiento, éste mejora. Cuando el rendimiento se mide y se comunica, el ritmo de rendimiento se acelera.

• I think on this issue more than any other we're going to see sort of a bipartisan longing to get something done, and hopefully you're not going to find the fisticuffs that you would find on lots of other issues. I think you'll be able to glean a sense of progress without us revealing the specifics.

• La gran mayoría de las personas son "generalidades errantes" más que "especificidades significativas". El hecho es que no se puede morder un objetivo que no se ve. Si no sabes adónde vas, lo más probable es que acabes en otro sitio. Hay que tener objetivos.

• While people argue with one another about the specifics of Freud's work and blame him for the prejudices of his time, they overlook the fundamental truth of his writing, his grand humility: that we frequently do not know our own motivations in life and are prisoners to what we cannot understand. We can recognize only a small fragment of our own, and an even smaller fragment of anyone else's, impetus.

• Era un posible delincuente no violento por primera vez, ... Y en virtud de los mínimos obligatorios, fue encarcelado durante 15 años. No sólo el castigo no se ajusta al delito, sino que los mínimos obligatorios no dan a los jueces ninguna discreción para examinar los antecedentes del caso, para leer en los detalles del caso. No conozco a ningún juez que esté realmente a favor de los mínimos obligatorios.

• We are bringing in another threat, which is nature itself. I don't really want to get into specifics too much, but I will say that there is a third uncontrollable, almost undefeatable threat that is going to come in when the characters of the show are at their most vulnerable. It's really going to be something that they have a hard time dealing with.

• Despite the variety of my explorations, throughout it all it has been my contention that my responsibility as an artist is to work, to sing for my supper, to make art, beautiful and powerful, that adds and reveals; to beautify the mess of a messy world, to heal the sick and feed the helpless; to shout bravely from the roof-tops and storm barricaded doors and voice the specifics of our historic moment.

• So perhaps the correct conclusion is that Green was less attuned to how people sound when they speak - the actual words and expressions they employ - than to what they mean. This notion of dialogue as a pure expression of character that...transcends the specifics of time and place may be partly why the conversations in the works of writers such as Austen and Bronte often sound fresh and astonishingly contemporary.
