Ten Quotes - Page 11

• So when people tell you, oh, you can't have the Ten Commandments on public property, they're just wrong. It's historically false. It's not true. Now, you can decide to invent a new America in which you shouldn't say "one nation under God" as part of the pledge because, after all, you will offend three atheists. But that's not the America you inherited. That's a different country. And I think it's a weaker country and I think it's a country that has no roots in terms of where its rights come from.

• Passion is present when a man can distinguish between the wine and the container. Two men see a loaf of bread. One hasn't eaten anything for ten days. The other has eaten five times a day, every day. He sees the shape of the loaf. The other man with his urgent need sees inside into the taste, and into the nourishment the bread could give. Be that hungry, to see within all beings the Friend.

• Even before I started going to movies, I loved the idea of them. When I started learning to read as a kid, I started reading the movie pages in the paper and I could tell you what was showing at every theater within a ten mile radius of our house.

• Los organismos empiezan a desplazarse en respuesta al cambio climático por todas partes. Las abejas están desapareciendo y no nos quedan muchos de los polinizadores autóctonos para sustituirlas. Estamos en graves problemas; no cabe duda. Pero los ecologistas tienden a pensar que algo que va a ser malo dentro de diez años es muy rápido y, por supuesto, los políticos sólo piensan en las cosas en ciclos de dos, cuatro o seis años.

• Yo era un pésimo académico. Me pasaba la mayor parte del tiempo en la cafetería. Pero conocí a gente fantástica de todo tipo de campos; derecho, medicina, historia, y acabaron dispersándose por todo el mundo para hacer su trabajo de campo. Me gustó el modo en que estas personas se comprometían a largo plazo de forma sincera y visionaria. Sus proyectos no eran para "la próxima temporada". Eran compromisos a diez años. Eran opciones de estilo de vida que incorporaban tradiciones de trabajo de campo: desplazarse, vivir en el lugar, disciplina, un verdadero rigor para la investigación.

• Aprender el nombre de otra persona es una señal de respeto y conexión, e ignorarlo, una falta de respeto. Y sin embargo, el estadounidense medio puede nombrar más de cien logotipos de empresas y diez plantas. ¿Es sorprendente que hayamos aceptado un sistema político que otorga personalidad a las empresas y ningún estatus al arroz silvestre y las secuoyas? Aprender los nombres de las plantas y los animales es un poderoso acto de apoyo a ellos. Cuando aprendemos sus nombres y sus dones, abrimos la puerta a la reciprocidad.

• In Mexico, a poor country, higher education is of quite good quality -- and is free. Ten years ago the government tried to impose small fees. There was a national student strike and the government backed down. High tuition is not an economic necessity, as is easy to show, but a debt trap is a good technique of indoctrination and control. And resisting this makes good sense.

• This country belongs to all of us. We made this country from nothing, from mud-flats... Over 100 years ago, this was a mud-flat, swamp. Today, this is a modern city. Ten years from now, this will be a metropolis. Never fear!

• Cultural wisdom says 'Don't quit your day job.' Yet I think these desires represent our psyche's stretch toward wholeness. And to be whole, as many religious tranditions teach, is to make manifest a unique face of God in the world. We don't want to be irresponsible, yet for every accountant who deserts his family and sails for Tahiti, ten American men have heart attacks at their desks, after hours.

• The government of the enlightened king? His achievements blanket the world but appear not to be his own doing. His transforming influence touches the ten thousand things but the people do not depend on him. With him there is no promotion or praise - he lets everything find its own enjoyment. He takes his stand on what cannot be fathomed and wanders where there is nothing at all.
