Swollen Quotes - Page 4

• Emmett Till y yo teníamos casi la misma edad. Una semana después de su asesinato... ...me paré en una esquina con una pandilla de muchachos, mirando fotos de él en los periódicos y revistas negras. En una, estaba riendo y feliz. En la otra, tenía la cabeza hinchada y golpeada, los ojos salidos de las órbitas y la boca retorcida y rota... No podía quitarme a Emmett Till de la cabeza, hasta que una noche se me ocurrió una forma de vengarme de los blancos por su muerte.

• The youthful brain should in general not be burdened with things ninety-five percent of which it cannot use and hence forgets again... In many cases, the material to be learned in the various subjects is so swollen that only a fraction of it remains in the head of the individual pupil, and only a fraction of this abundance can find application, while on the other hand it is not adequate for the man working and earning his living in a definite field.

• Oh! now to be alone, on some grand height, Where heaven’s black curtains shadow all the sight, And watch the swollen clouds their bosom clash, While fleet and far the living lightnings flash... And see the fiery arrows fall and rise, In dizzy chase along the rattling skies,— How stirs the spirit while the echoes roll, And God, in thunder, rocks from pole to pole!

• The party should stand for a constantly wider diffusion of property. That is the greatest social and economic security that can come to free men. It makes free men. We want a nation of proprietors, not a state of collectivists. That is attained by creating a national wealth and income, not by destroying it. The income and estate taxes create an orderly movement to diffuse swollen fortunes more effectively than all the quacks.

• 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall see God' suggested to me a heavenly welfare program for the meek. Today that saying reveals an astute insight into egotism, about how those with swollen pride or vanity cannot see anything larger than themselves.

• Si algo bueno se saca de la actual hambruna en el Cuerno de África -entre las imágenes de madres que llevan a sus pechos marchitos a bebés moribundos y niños de ojos hundidos con vientres hinchados y extremidades de fósforo- será galvanizar al mundo sobre la necesidad de garantizar el acceso a alimentos nutritivos a las personas más vulnerables del planeta.

• When you learn how to trust your feelings then you'll know how to recognize it - That part of you that needs no healing is like a swollen river rising. So choke me with a violent passion and drown me in a deep emotion. You've got to help me build this feeling. I'm swimming in a stagnant ocean. Been blinded by smoke and mirrors and crippled by a fear of tomorrow. If you don't help me shake this feeling, then I'll be marking time in Limbo.

• Primero debo conocerme a mí mismo, como dice la inscripción de Delfos; sería ridículo sentir curiosidad por lo que no me concierne, mientras sigo ignorándome a mí mismo. Y, por tanto, me despido de todo esto; la opinión común me basta. Porque, como decía, no quiero saber de esto, sino de mí mismo: ¿soy un monstruo más complicado e hinchado de pasión que la serpiente Tifo, o una criatura de un tipo más suave y sencillo, a la que la Naturaleza ha dado un destino más divino y bajo?

• Las vacas a las que se administran hormonas de crecimiento modificadas genéticamente producen más leche, pero tienen ubres hinchadas y dolorosas, úlceras, dolores articulares, abortos, terneros deformes, infertilidad y una esperanza de vida mucho más corta. Su leche contiene sangre, pus, tranquilizantes, antibióticos y un factor de crecimiento insulínico que puede multiplicar por cuatro el cáncer de próstata y por siete el de mama. Esta es la leche que se utiliza en nuestros programas de almuerzos escolares y que se sirve a nuestros hijos. Esta es la leche que usted compra todos los días. Esta es la leche que se utiliza en todos los quesos, yogures, mantequilla y nata.
