Thoughtlessness Quotes

• En la guerra de sexos, la irreflexión es un arma del hombre, la venganza de la mujer. Ambas se generan recíprocamente, pero el deseo de venganza de la mujer supera cualquier otra emoción. Sin embargo, cuando se han dicho todas las palabras desagradables sobre las mujeres, todavía tenemos que admitir, con Byron, que son más agradables que los hombres. Son más devotas, más altruistas y más sinceras emocionalmente. Cuando se enciende la larga mecha de la crueldad, el engaño y la venganza, es la irreflexión masculina la que la ha encendido.

  Cyril Connolly

  Sexo, venganza, guerra

• ¡Poderosa es la fuerza de la maternidad! Transforma todas las cosas con su calor vital; convierte la timidez en valor feroz, y el desafío temerario en sumisión trémula; convierte la irreflexión en previsión, y sin embargo apacigua toda ansiedad en tranquilo contento; hace que el egoísmo se convierta en abnegación, y da incluso a la dura vanidad la mirada del amor admirativo.

• Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may come.

• Remember what Hannah Arendt said when she was talking about fascism and totalitarianism. She said thoughtlessness is the essence of totalitarianism. So all of a sudden emotion becomes more important than reason. Ignorance becomes more important than justice. Injustice is looked over as simply something that happens on television. The spectacle of violence takes over everything.

  Henry Giroux
