Streams Quotes - Page 22

• The difficulty is to learn to perceive with your whole body, not with just your eyes and reason. The world becomes a stream of tremendously rapid, unique events. So you must trim your body to make it a good receptor. The body is an awareness; and it must be treated impeccably.

  Carlos Castañeda

• It was the tenderness mingled with melancholy which we bring to a time that belongs irrevocably to the past, when a pale, delicate shadow rises from it bearing the lilies of the dead, and in it we find a forgotten likeness to ourselves. And that faint, wistful shadow, that pale scent, seemed to vanish away into a wide, full, warm stream - the life that now lay open before him.

  Robert Musil

• The ego, as a collection of our past experiences, is continually offering miserable lines of thought. It's as if there were a stream with little fish swimming by, and when we hook one of them there is a judgment. The ego is constantly judging everybody and everything. It has its constant little chit chat about things that can happen in the future, things about the past, too, and these are the little fish that swim by. And what we learn to do-this is why it takes work-is to not reach out and grab a fish.

• Fantaseaba con "El Gran Gatsby" de F. Scott Fitzgerald, me encantaba, y luego leí todo lo que J. D. Salinger tenía que ofrecer. Luego me aficioné a Kerouac, a su prosa espontánea, a su forma de escribir a partir de la conciencia. Le admiraba mucho, y tenía un gran romanticismo sobre los años 40 y 50".

• Eyes like streams of melting snow, cold with the things she does not know. Heaven above and Hell beneath, liquid flames to hide her grief. Death, death, death with no release. Death, death, death with no release.

• En todos los combates, el método directo puede utilizarse para entrar en batalla, pero los métodos indirectos serán necesarios para asegurar la victoria. Las tácticas indirectas, aplicadas eficientemente, son inagotables como el cielo y la tierra, interminables como el flujo de los ríos y arroyos; como el sol y la luna, terminan pero para comenzar de nuevo; como las cuatro estaciones, pasan para volver una vez más.

• There had been observed in this country certain streams of influence which are causing a marked deterioration in our literature, amusements, and social conduct...a nasty Orientalism which had insidiously affected every channel of expression...The fact that these influences are all traceable to one racial source [Judaism] is something to be reckoned with...Our opposition is only in ideas, false ideas, which are sapping the moral stamina of the people.

• El cuerpo y la mente cambian continuamente y, de hecho, no son más que nombres de una serie de fenómenos cambiantes, como ríos cuyas aguas están en constante estado de flujo, pero que presentan la apariencia de corrientes ininterrumpidas. Cada partícula de este cuerpo cambia continuamente; nadie tiene el mismo cuerpo durante muchos minutos seguidos, y sin embargo pensamos que es el mismo cuerpo.

• When we talk of flood control, we usually think of dams and deeper river channels, to impound the waters or hurry their run-off. Yet neither is the ultimate solution, simply because floods are caused by the flow of water downhill. If the hills are wooded, that flow is checked. If there is a swamp at the foot of the hills, the swamp sponges up most of the excess water, restores some of it to the underground water supply and feeds the remainder slowly into the streams. Strip the hills, drain the boglands, and you create flood conditions inevitably. Yet that is what we have been doing for years.

• The 'stream' we call science always flows forward; sometimes reactionary beavers block its flow, but the stream is never defeated by this; it accumulates, gathers strength; its waters get over the barrage and continue on their course. The advancement of science is the advancement of God, for science is nothing but human intelligence, and human intelligence is the most valuable treasure God has bequeathed us.

  Free yourself from sorrow's mighty stream!
  This vessel will be later hard to find.
  The time that you have now, you fool, is not for sleep!

• Explicit knowledge, conventionally delivered like pizza (neat boxes with toppings of concepts, theories, best practices and war stories), is consumed by the brain but not metabolized into action. The learning we call intuition, know-how and common sense gets into the blood stream through osmosis. It is shaped by social context.

• Una vez en el sueño de una noche me quedé
  Sola en la luz de un bosque mágico,
  con el alma sumida en visiones que brotaban como amapolas;
  Y los espíritus de la Verdad eran los pájaros que cantaban,
  Y los espíritus del Amor eran las estrellas que brillaban,
  Y espíritus de Paz eran los arroyos que fluían
  En aquel bosque mágico en la tierra del sueño.

• The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behooves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c'est l homme, what is likely to happen if l homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?

• Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.
