Within Reach Quotes - Page 3

• Assume that a surgeon has discovered how to do brain surgery, that he can do only one a month, that 1,000 persons a year need such an operation if they are to survive. How is the surgeon's scarce resource to be allocated? Charge whatever price is necessary to adjust supply and demand, say $50,000! 'For shame,' some will cry. 'Your market system will save only wealthy people.' For the moment, yes. But soon there will be hundreds of surgeons who will acquire the same skill; and, as in the case of the once scarce and expensive 'miracle drugs,' the price then will be within reach of all.

• While I was not consulted prior to the President's decision to intervene in support of the Republic of Korea, that decision from a military standpoint, proved a sound one, as we hurled back the invader and decimated his forces. Our victory was complete, and our objectives within reach, when Red China intervened with numerically superior ground forces.

• Painting is the making of an analogy for something non-visual and incomprehensible - giving it form and bringing it within reach. And that is why good paintings are incomprehensible. Creating the incomprehensible has absolutely nothing to do with turning out any old bunkum, because bunkum is always comprehensible.

• Todo lo que siempre quise desde que llegué a la Tierra fueron las cosas que resultaron estar a mi alcance. Las mismas cosas que necesitaba cuando era un bebé: pasar del frío al calor, de la soledad al abrazo, del recipiente al dador, del vacío a la plenitud. Puedes cambiar el mundo con un baño caliente, si te sumerges en él desde un lugar en el que sabes que mereces un cuidado profundo, incluso cuando estás sucio y agitado. ¿Quién lo diría?

• I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it.

• Through the dark days of legalized segregation and on into the civil rights era, jazz shone as a beacon for achieving interracial respect and understanding.

• Every one has experienced how learning an appropriate name for what was dim and vague cleared up and crystallized the whole matter. Some meaning seems distinct almost within reach, but is elusive; it refuses to condense into definite form; the attaching of a word somehow (just how, it is almost impossible to say) puts limits around the meaning, draws it out from the void, makes it stand out as an entity on its own account.

• Do you realize that people don't know how to read Kafka simply because they want to decipher him? Instead of letting themselves be carried away by his unequaled imagination, they look for allegories - and come up with nothing but clichés: life is absurd (or it is not absurd), God is beyond reach (or within reach), etc. You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.

• My chest ached, my body speaking a language my head didn't quite understand. I waited.

• El motor capitalista es, ante todo, un motor de producción de masas, lo que inevitablemente significa también producción para las masas. . . . Son las telas baratas, los tejidos baratos de algodón y rayón, las botas, los automóviles, etc., los logros típicos de la producción capitalista, y no, por regla general, las mejoras que significarían mucho para el hombre rico. La reina Isabel tenía medias de seda. El logro capitalista no consiste típicamente en proporcionar más medias de seda a las reinas, sino en ponerlas al alcance de las chicas de las fábricas.

• Los seres humanos de todas las sociedades en todos los periodos de la historia creen que sus ideas sobre la naturaleza del mundo real son las más seguras, y que sus ideas sobre la religión, la ética y la justicia son las más ilustradas. Como nosotros, piensan que el conocimiento final está por fin al alcance de la mano. Al igual que nosotros, se compadecen de los pueblos de épocas anteriores por no conocer los hechos verdaderos. El ser humano se compadece indefectiblemente de sus antepasados por ser tan ignorantes y olvida que sus descendientes se compadecerán de ellos por la misma razón.

• One is constantly reminded of the infinite lavishness and fertility of Nature-inexhaustible abundance amid what seems enormous waste. And yet when we look into any of her operations that lie within reach of our minds, we learn that no particle of her material is wasted or worn out. It is eternally flowing from use to use, beauty to yet higher beauty; and we soon cease to lament waste and death, and rather rejoice and exult in the imperishable, unspendable wealth of the universe.
