Symposium Quotes

• And so, when a person meets the half that is his very own, whatever his orientation, whether it's to young men or not, then something wonderful happens: the two are struck from their senses by love, by a sense of belonging to one another, and by desire, and they don't want to be separated from one another, not even for a moment.

• Y cuando uno de ellos se encuentra con la otra mitad, la mitad real de sí mismo, ya sea un amante de la juventud o un amante de otro tipo, la pareja se pierde en un asombro de amor y amistad e intimidad y uno no estará fuera de la vista del otro, por así decirlo, ni siquiera por un momento.

• And the true order of going, or being led by another, to the things of love, is to begin from the beauties of earth and mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty, using these steps only, and from one going on to two, and from two to all fair forms to fair practices, and from fair practices to fair notions, until from fair notions he arrives at the notion of absolute beauty, and at last knows what the essence of beauty is.

• A la vista de las ponencias de este simposio, puede decirse que la elucidación del código genético es, en efecto, un gran logro. Es, en cierto sentido, la clave de la biología molecular, porque muestra cómo los grandes lenguajes poliméricos, el del ácido nucleico y el de las proteínas, están relacionados entre sí.

• Although birds coexist with us on this eroded planet, they live independently of us with a self-sufficiency that is almost a rebuke. In the world of birds a symposium on the purpose of life would be inconceivable. They do not need it. We are not that self-reliant. We are the ones who have lost our way.

• This is the premiere food symposium in the world. To quote you guys: 'Intended to invoke a sense of courage and urgency...Enabling this year's symposium to become a venue where we can reflect on the stories and ideas that no one usually gets the opportunity to tell.' So I stand here with the guts to ask you, please, let's do something. Let's do something and feed those that we're not reaching collectively.

• "What is truth?" said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. Pilate was in advance of his time. For "truth" itself is an abstract noun, a camel, that is, of a logical construction, which cannot get past the eye even of a grammarian. We approach it cap and categories in hand: we ask ourselves whether Truth is a substance (the Truth, the Body of Knowledge), or a quality (something like the colour red, inhering in truths), or a relation ("correspondence"). But philosophers should take something more nearly their own size to strain at. What needs discussing rather is the use, or certain uses, of the word "true." In vino, possibly, "veritas," but in a sober symposium "verum."

• The generation is unceasing. Beauty, as both Plato’s Symposium and everyday life confirm, prompts the begetting of children: when the eye sees someone beautiful, the whole body wants to reproduce the person.

• Como joven jugador novato de la NFL, vas al simposio de novatos y lo único que te dicen es: "¿Sabéis lo que significa la NFL?". Todo el mundo mira a su alrededor como, "¿La Liga Nacional de Fútbol...?" El tipo dice: "No, no por mucho tiempo". Allí mismo te dicen que te prepares para tu segunda vida. Lo asimilas, y yo siempre he sido de los que se preparan pronto, de los que ven el futuro y se anticipan y creen en que ocurrirán grandes cosas, y ocurren. Ya conocía y apreciaba ese concepto, pero para mí, siempre iba a estar aquí durante un tiempo. Simplemente creía en ello.

• There's a very interesting article or symposium to be written on just the real difference between comedy filmmaking and non-comedy. Because, you know, when you work in comedy, you depend on audience screenings to tell you about your movie.

• I hadn't been there [Comic-Con] before. It's pretty eye-opening, when you haven't been there, just with the sheer amount of fans that are there for different shows and films. It's like a big fan symposium, in a way, as well a way for film studios and television studios to really promote their product to their loyal audience base. It was an experience.
