Transient Quotes - Page 8

• A la luz de la conciencia suceden todo tipo de cosas y no hay que dar especial importancia a ninguna. La vista de una flor es tan maravillosa como la visión de Dios. Déjalas estar. ¿Por qué recordarlas y convertir la memoria en un problema? No los dividas en altos y bajos, internos y externos, duraderos y pasajeros. Ve más allá, vuelve a la fuente, ve al yo que es el mismo pase lo que pase.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

  Paz, Recuerdos, Flor

• If we consider the actual basis of this information [i.e., intelligence], how unreliable and transient it is, we soon realize that war is a flimsy structure that can easily collapse and bury us in its ruins. ... Many intelligence reports in war are contradictory; even more are false, and most are uncertain. This is true of all intelligence but even more so in the heat of battle, where such reports tend to contradict and cancel each other out. In short, most intelligence is false, and the effect of fear is to multiply lies and inaccuracies.

  Carl von Clausewitz

• Para mí, el coraje significa atravesar esa niebla gris y opaca que se cierne sobre la vida, no sólo por encima de las personas y las circunstancias, sino por encima de la tristeza de vivir. Una especie de insistencia en el valor de la vida y en el valor de las cosas pasajeras... Mi coraje es la fe -la fe en mi eterna resistencia- en que la alegría, la esperanza y la espontaneidad volverán. Y siento que hasta que eso ocurra, tengo que mantener los labios cerrados, la barbilla alta y los ojos bien abiertos...".

• I need scarcely observe that a poem deserves its title only inasmuch as it excites, by elevating the soul. The value of the poem is in the ratio of this elevating excitement. But all excitements are, through a psychal necessity, transient.

• La pasión, el interés o el capricho sugerían a diario motivos para la disolución del matrimonio; una palabra, una señal, un mensaje, una carta, el mandato de un liberto, declaraban la separación; el más tierno de los vínculos humanos quedaba degradado a una sociedad pasajera de lucro o placer.

• Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful: the threshold is the place of expectation.

• La autobiografía es lo más fascinante que se puede hacer porque llegas a tocar la condición humana. Y al final, ¿qué otra cosa hay? Para mí, es la máxima afirmación de la vida, y un milagro de este organismo transitorio y extremadamente frágil. Celebrar eso, creo, es algo noble.

• Difficulties with material things often come to remind us that our concentration should be on spiritual things instead of material things. Sometimes difficulties of the body come to show that the body is just a transient garment, and that the reality is the indestructible essence which activates the body. But when we can say, 'Thank God for problems which are sent for our spiritual growth.' They are no longer problems. They then become opportunities.

• [Books] will visit you at your convenience, whether you are lonesome or not, on rainy days or fair. They propose themselves as either transient acquaintances or permanent friends. They will stay as long as you like, departing or returning as you wish. Their friendship entails no obligation. Best of all, and not always true of our merely human friends, they have Cleopatra's infinite variety.

• Por primera vez en la historia, lo racional y lo bueno están plenamente armados en la batalla contra el mal. Aquí encontramos por fin la respuesta a nuestra paradoja; ahora podemos comprender la naturaleza del poder social que detenta el mal. En última instancia, el mal, lo irracional, realmente no tiene poder. El control de los hombres malvados sobre la moral es transitorio; vive de prestado y sólo es posible gracias a los errores de los buenos. Con el tiempo, a medida que más hombres honestos comprendan la verdad, el dominio del mal se romperá fácilmente.

• This variety of objects will suspend, for some time, the course of the narrative; but the interruption will be censured only by those readers who are insensible to the importance of laws and manners, while they peruse, with eager curiosity, the transient intrigues of a court, or the accidental event of a battle.

• Wholesome food is wholesome food anywhere. I may not like something but, generally speaking, if it's a busy, street food stall serving mystery meat in India, they're in the business of serving their neighbors. They're not targeted toward a transient crowd of tourists that won't be around tomorrow. They're not in the business of poisoning their neighbors.

• You also wonder if a restaurant placed an ad that read, "Only homeless need apply," would they get fined? Probably not. But if they said, "No homeless apply," they would be transient bigots. For as bureaucrats use language to punish the lawful, they use tolerance to coddle the troubled.

• Patti [ Scialfa] was an artist and a musician and she was a songwriter. And she was a lot like me in that she was transient also. She worked busking on the streets in New York. She waitressed. She had - she just lived a life - she lived a musician's life. She lived an artist's life. So we were both people who were very uncomfortable in a domestic setting, getting together and trying to build one and seeing if our particularly strange jigsaw puzzle pieces were going to fit together in a way that was going to create something different for the two of us. And it did.
