Uncool Quotes - Page 2

• Mi madre tocaba el violín y el piano cuando era pequeña e insistía, y no sé si os podéis imaginar lo poco guay que es tocar el violín cuando tienes ocho y diez años, pero le dije a mi madre que lo dejaría todos los días hasta que fui al instituto y conocí a estos otros señores que se convertirían en Yellowcard, y a mis amigos, y realmente me enamoré de la música y no era sólo música clásica, simplemente estaba sumergida en las artes en el instituto en el que estaba.

• Our job is to love people. When it hurts. When it's awkward. When it's uncool and embarrassing. Our job is to stand together, to carry the burdens of one another and to meet each other in our questions.

• I love everything black, because black is cool. When something crosses over, people are like, "Oh, this is a crossover." First of all, there is no urban anymore. Pop culture is black. White kids are dressing like black kids. It's all crossed the lines now. The way I understand it is, everything black is cool. When it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. That's what crossover is.

• No era un fanático de los grupos musicales. Pero mis dos hermanas mayores y yo tocábamos instrumentos, así que llegaba a casa y mi hermana Dana estaba tocando el clarinete o el piano, y yo tocaba el saxofón, mi otra hermana cantaba, mi madre cantaba.

• Aunque un sentido particularmente hábil de la ironía puede ser una de las herramientas de los grandes narradores, creo que también es cierto que si la ironía sirve como una retirada de un compromiso emocional que te preocupa demasiado que no esté de moda, eso es un fallo de nervio.

• Now death is uncool, old-fashioned. To my mind the defining characteristic of our era is spin, everything tailored to vanishing point by market research, brands and bands manufactured to precise specifications; we are so used to things transmuting into whatever we would like them to be that it comes as a profound outrage to encounter death, stubbornly unspinnable, only and immutably itself.

• Be nobody's darling; Be an outcast. Take the contradictions Of your life And wrap around You like a shawl, To parry stones To keep you warm. Watch the people succumb To madness With ample cheer; Let them look askance at you And you askance reply. Be an outcast; Be pleased to walk alone (Uncool) Or line the crowded River beds With other impetuous Fools. Make a merry gathering On the bank Where thousands perished For brave hurt words They said. Be nobody's darling; Be an outcast. Qualified to live Among your dead.

• Listen, the environmental movement is not about protecting the fishes and the birds so much as recognizing that nature is the infrastructure of our communities ... If you're saying the values that drive the environmental movement are uncool and antithetical to America, then I would argue just the opposite. If you think being patriotic is not cool, I'd say that's not true either. I'd say the most patriotic thing you can do is to take care of the environment and try to live sustainably.

• Being fat is the absolute nadir of the misfit. You're a misfit because nothing fits. You don't fit in. You're not fit. You're fat. Fat doesn't have the poetic cachet of alcohol, the whiff of danger in the drug of choice. You're just fat. Being fat is so un-American, so unattractive, unerotic, unfashionable, undisciplined, unthinkable, uncool. It makes you invisible. It makes you conspicuous.

• Pero, ¿quiénes somos en realidad? Sólo un conjunto de buenos y malos genes mezclados con buenos y malos hábitos. Y como no existe el gen de la frialdad ni el de la confianza, la falta de frialdad y de confianza no son más que malos hábitos, que pueden cambiarse con suficiente orientación y fuerza de voluntad.

• More than fantasy or even science fiction, Ray Bradbury wrote horror, and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear, of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence, or to be optimistic, or to write sentimentally when he felt that way.
