When All Else Fails Quotes - Page 2

• I gave someone a perverse argument not so long ago about why advertising is better than movies. You want to hear it? Movies operate from a really disingenuous premise, that people are heroes. I know a lot of people and have had an opportunity over the years to observe them. Are they heroes...? Let's put it this way. Advertising tries something simpler and more believable: Products as heroes. I guess the idea is: When all else fails, put your faith in conditioner.

• Creo que podría ser un gato perfectamente decente. He estado rodeado de gatos el tiempo suficiente para saber cuáles son las reglas de ser un gato. Cuando todo lo demás falla, lávate. Y creo que podría dominar eso que hacen los gatos, cuando se alejan fingiendo que querían hacer lo que fuera en primer lugar; mostrando su dignidad herida.

• She stared up at me, and there was something in her eyes, something that said we finally had an understanding. She was afraid of me, and sometimes that’s the best you can do with people. I’d tried kindness. I’d tried friendship. I’d tried respect. But when all else fails, fear will do the job.

• Sencillamente, no puedo quedarme de brazos cruzados viendo cómo un derecho garantizado por la Constitución de los Estados Unidos es atacado por quienes, o bien no pueden entenderlo, o bien no les gusta cómo suena, o se muestran demasiado filosóficamente aprensivos para ver por qué sigue siendo el primero entre iguales: Porque es el derecho al que recurrimos cuando todo lo demás falla. Por eso la Segunda Enmienda es la primera libertad de Estados Unidos.

• Si algo he aprendido en la vida es que la raza es el motor que mueve a la izquierda política. Cuando todo lo demás falla, ese segmento de Estados Unidos recurre a la posición por defecto de utilizar la raza para lograr sus objetivos. En los tribunales, en los campus universitarios y, sobre todo, en nuestra política, la raza es un tema central. Allí donde no aflora de forma natural, hay quienes la fabrican y amplifican.

  Ward Connerly

• As international support for Obama's decision to attack Syria has collapsed, along with the credibility of government claims, the administration has fallen back on a standard pretext for war crimes when all else fails: the credibility of the threats of the self-designated policeman of the world.

• There is a theory going around that the U.S.A. was and still is a gigantic Masonic plot under the ultimate control of the group known as the Illuminati. It is difficult to look for long at the strange single eye crowning the pyramid which is found on every dollar bill and not begin to believe the story, a little. Too many anarchists in 19th-century Europe—Bakunin, Proudhon, Salverio Friscia—were Masons for it to be pure chance. Lovers of global conspiracy, not all of them Catholic, can count on the Masons for a few good shivers and voids when all else fails.

• I like a tranquil, even-keeled, self-controlled God. A God who doesn't fly off the handle at the least provocation. A God who lives one step above the fray. A God who has that British stiff upper lip even when disaster is looming. When I read my Bible, though, I keep running into a different God, and I'm not pleased. This God says he "hates" sin. Well, he usually yells it. Read the prophets. It's just one harangue after another, all in loud decibels. And when the shouting is over, then comes the pouting. ... When all else fails, he throws himself in front of the car.

• The road to hell is paved with reasonable religion with a non-anxious god. Most days, I'm pretty happy driving down that road. But I keep running into this Crazy Fellow along the way. At every stop light, he jumps up and down to get my attention. He pounds on my window asking me where the heck I think I'm going. He stands on the front bumper, shouting at me to turn around. When all else fails, he throws himself in front of the car. He's such a drama queen.
