Stacking Quotes

• This wasn't the way I had imagined my adventures, but reality ignored my wishes from the get-go, giving me a body best suited for stacking books in the library, injecting so much fear into my veins that I could only cower in the stairwell when the violence came. Maybe someday my arms and legs would thicken with muscle and the fear would drain away like dirty bathwater. I wish I believed these things would happen, but I didn't.

• Si un hombre tiene un apartamento lleno de periódicos hasta el techo, le llamamos loco. Si una mujer tiene una casa remolque llena de gatos, la llamamos loca. Pero cuando la gente acumula patológicamente tanto dinero que empobrece a toda la nación, los ponemos en la portada de la revista Fortune y pretendemos que son modelos a seguir.

  Lester B. Pearson

• Gandhi was only minding his own business when he took a walk to get some salt and ended up overthrowing the British Empire. You can't set out to overthrow an empire, but if you have to get some salt then get some salt.  If you have to write some independent songs that are honest, just write them.  If you have to do a day job stacking shelves, so be it.

• Hacía demasiadas preguntas y las hacía demasiado deprisa. Se amontonaban en mi cabeza como panes en la fábrica donde trabaja el tío Terry. La fábrica es una panadería y él maneja las cortadoras. Y a veces una cortadora no funciona lo bastante rápido, pero el pan sigue saliendo y se produce un atasco. A veces pienso en mi mente como una máquina, pero no siempre como una máquina de cortar pan. Así es más fácil explicar a otras personas lo que ocurre en su interior.

• Stacking shelves in a supermarket. The reason I didn't like it is because I'm very clumsy. We had a floor polisher you'd push up and down the aisles, and klutz me would always knock the bottles over in the drinks aisle. Unsurprisingly I got fired.

• I actually challenged The Theosophical Society on their concept of planes of reality. I said, "What you're doing is, you're stacking two-dimensional surfaces in three-space. And you are not going into any other dimensions at all." And they were furious, because they thought I was attacking Madame [Elena] Blavatsky.

• I started working myself from about 14, really, so I wasn't a burden on my family. I did a paper round and a milk round. When I was 15 or 16, I worked in a supermarket on Saturdays stacking shelves, and then every summer I temped, right through university until my working days started.

• There is a huge set of consequences that start stacking up as you approach the end-game. And
  even in terms of the ending itself, it continues to break down to
  some very large decisions. So it's not like a ****c game ending
  where everything is linear and you make a choice between a few things
  - it really does layer in many, many different choices, up to the
  final moments, where it's going to be different for everyone who
  plays it.

• Me pasaba el día en casa de alguien o en el tejado y me sentía solo, loco, y la radio se convirtió en una voz tranquilizadora en mi vida. Pero la idea de estar ganando 10 dólares la hora y apilando paneles de yeso mientras estos tipos ganaban cientos de miles, y estaban de fiesta, y había Playmates y buenos momentos, simplemente no podía imaginármelo.

• I think people fail to realize that teams and organizations have been stacking teams since way back in the day. The Lakers had the Showtime era. Boston had six hall of famers on one team. You had Detroit, the New York Knicks, and now the Miami Heat. They were stacking their teams back then, it just fell off over the years and now it picked back up. Boston did it first, then LA. I was fortunate enough to play against them when they had Shaq, Kobe, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Karl Malone... that's five hall of famers on one team! So you can't get mad at Miami for doing what they did.

• My father was an engineer - he wasn't literary, not a writer or a journalist, but he was one of the world's great readers. Every two weeks, he'd take me to our local branch library and pull books off the shelf for me, stacking them up in my arms - 'Have you read this? And this? And this?"

• I'm trying..." How could I put it? "I'm trying to get far enough down the line so that I can remember." I stopped, then continued: "so that I can remember without the pain killing me" And the days were stacking up. And weeks. And months. It was now almost the middle of June and he'd died in February, but I still felt like I'd just woken from a horrible dream, that I was suspended in that stunned, paralyzed state between sleep and reality where I was grasping for, but couldn't get a handle on normality.

• I was 12 when I ordered my first guitar out of the worn and discolored pages of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The story that I bought it on the installment plan is untrue, the invention of a Hollywood press agent. Local color. I paid cash, $8, money I had saved as a hired hand on my uncle Calvin's farm, baling and stacking hay. Prairie hay, used as feed for the cattle in winter. It was mean work for a wiry boy, but ambition made me strong.
