Titans Quotes

• Los hombres siempre han sido presa de las distracciones, que son los pecados originales de la mente; pero nunca antes se había intentado organizar y explotar las distracciones, hacer de ellas, por su importancia económica, el núcleo y centro vital de la vida humana, idealizarlas como las manifestaciones más elevadas de la actividad mental. La nuestra es una época de irrelevancias sistematizadas, y el imbécil que llevamos dentro se ha convertido en uno de los Titanes, sobre cuyos hombros descansa el peso del sistema social y económico

• We got an expression ride back to the palace of Hades. Nico sent word ahead, thanks to some ghost he summoned out of the ground, and within a few minutes the Three Furies themselves arrived to ferry us back. They weren't thrilled about lugging Bob the Titan, too, but I didn't have the heart to leave him behind, especially after he noticed my shoulder wound, said, "Owie", and healed it with a touch.

• Prometheus, I have no Titan's might,
  Yet I, too, must each dusk renew my heart,
  For daytime's vulture talons tear apart
  The tender alcoves built by love at night.

• La lucha de este mundo por la integridad espiritual puede transmitir una objetividad y una perspicacia poco comunes. En la tierra de Faerie, el lector puede ver sus pequeñas batallas escritas en grande en las guerras de titanes o elfos y entender por primera vez, su propio valor.

• Wherefore no name can be found for a new fossil [element] which indicates its peculiar and characteristic properties (in which position I find myself at present), I think it is best to choose such a denomination as means nothing of itself and thus can give no rise to any erroneous ideas. In consequence of this, as I did in the case of Uranium, I shall borrow the name for this metallic substance from mythology, and in particular from the Titans, the first sons of the earth. I therefore call this metallic genus TITANIUM.

• The movie Fifty Shades of Grey is considerably better written than the book. It is also sort of classy-looking, in a generic, TV-ad-for-bath-oil way. Dakota Johnson, who plays the virgin English-literature major Anastasia Steele, and Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey, the wildly rich and sexually particular business titan who wants Miss Steele in his playroom, are exceedingly attractive actors with enviably supple bodies well suited to nakedness. And really, under the circumstances, movable parts matter more than acting skills.

• Intenté imaginar cómo podían empeorar las cosas. Los dioses estaban en el Medio Oeste luchando contra un enorme monstruo que casi los había derrotado una vez. Poseidón estaba sitiado y perdiendo una guerra contra el Titán del mar Oceanus. Kronos todavía estaba por ahí en alguna parte. El Olimpo estaba virtualmente indefenso. Los semidioses del Campamento Media Sangre estábamos solos con un espía entre nosotros. Ah, y según la antigua profecía, yo iba a morir cuando cumpliera dieciséis años, que casualmente era dentro de cinco días, justo cuando se suponía que Tifón iba a golpear New York. Casi lo olvido.

• Soy hijo de Júpiter, hijo de Roma, cónsul de semidioses, pretor de la Primera Legión. Maté al monstruo marino troyano, derribé el negro trono de Kronos, y destruí al Titán Krios con mi propia mano. Y ahora voy a destruirte a ti, Porphyrion, y darte de comer a tus propios lobos". "Vaya, amigo", murmuró Leo, "¿Has estado comiendo carne roja?

• The correct answer is the University Titans, the West Valley Eagles, the Central Valley Bears, the East Valley Knights, the Riverside Rams. The fact you don't even know an answer to the question like [naming all the Spokane Valley High School Mascots] means you don't even know the district. How can you represent the district if you don't even know it?

• There's also the issue of tech titans throwing their weight around in Washington and lobbying. There was just a Reuters poll that reported that more than half of Americans are concerned that tech companies are "encroaching too much on their lives." That's pretty major, considering these companies were universally loved not that long ago.

• Zagreus was the son of Zeus. He was slain by the Titans, buried at the foot of Mount Parnassus, and rose from the dead as Dionysos. He was the god of fruit and wine. Like those of Christ his most devoted followers were women. He is the beloved son and occupies a throne at the right hand of his father, Zeus. His empty tomb at Delphi was long preserved by his devotees as proof of his death, and resurrection.

• The Yeas are relatively uniform. They view [Bob] Dylan as one of the greatest artists of his or any era, who deserves to be taken as seriously as any litterateur. Where they vary is in some cases not even accepting the distinction: Dylan in their eyes is a literary titan, and the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature is simply official affirmation of what they already knew.
