Gloria Quotes

“Pero tú, Aquiles, eres más dichoso que todos los hombres que han sido. Ninguno de los venideros será más dichoso que tú. Cuando vivías, nosotros los aqueos te honrábamos como a un dios, y ahora riges a todos los muertos. No te lamentes, pues, Aquiles, ya que así estás, a pesar de ser muerto". Así dije, y él me respondió: "No me hables de la muerte, ilustre Ulises. Preferiría ser labrador y servir por un salario a un hombre pobre que apenas pudiera mantenerse a reinar sobre los que ya no son".”

“El amor de necesidad clama a Dios desde nuestra indigencia; el amor-dádiva anhela servir a Dios y hasta sufrir por Él; el amor de apreciación dice: «Te damos gracias por tu inmensa gloria». El amor de necesidad dice de una mujer: «No puedo vivir sin ella»; el amor-dádiva aspira a hacerla feliz, a darle comodidades, protección y, si es posible, riqueza; el amor de apreciación contempla casi sin respirar, en silencio, alegre de que esa maravilla exista, aunque no sea para él, y no se quedará abatido si la pierde, porque prefiere eso antes que no haberla conocido nunca.”

“«Todo el que ama ha nacido de Dios, y conoce a Dios. El que no ama no ha llegado a conocer a Dios, porque Dios es amor. En esto se manifestó entre nosotros el amor de Dios: en que Dios envió a su Hijo Unigénito al mundo para que recibiéramos por él la vida» (1 Jn 7b-9) Dios es amor. Esta es su gloria. Esta es su sustancia. Jesucristo crucificado y resucitado es la visibilidad de esta gloria. Si estoy hecho a imagen de Dios según su semejanza, entonces también yo soy amor. El amor es mi verdad. En efecto, soy yo mismo cuando amo, cuando sirvo, cuando doy la vida por alguien. El pecado no es mi verdad. El pecado es mi «falso yo mismo».”

“[San Pablo] experimenta la íntima relación entre cruz y resurrección: estamos expuestos a la muerte «para que también la vida de Jesús se manifieste en nuestro cuerpo» (2 Co 4, 11). Cristo sigue sufriendo en sus enviados, su lugar sigue siendo la cruz. Sin embargo, Él es de manera definitiva el Resucitado. Y si el enviado de Jesús en este mundo está aún inmerso en la pasión de Jesús, ahí se puede percibir también la gloria de la resurrección, que da una alegría, una «beatitud» mayor que toda la dicha que se haya podido experimentar antes en el mundo.”

“La unidad interna entre la kénosis vivida por Jesús (cf. Flp 2, 5-10) y su venida gloriosa es el motivo permanente de la actuación y la predicación de Jesús, es precisamente lo novedoso, lo «auténticamente jesuánico» que no ha sido inventado, sino que constituye más bien el aspecto esencial de su figura y de sus palabras.”

“En Jesús se aprecia la unión de sufrimiento y «exaltación», de abajamiento y elevación. El servir es la verdadera forma de reinar y nos deja presentir algo de cómo Dios es Señor, del «reinado de Dios». En la pasión y en la muerte, la vida del Hijo del hombre se convierte también en «pro-existencia» (existir para los demás); se convierte en liberador y salvador para «todos»: no sólo para los hijos de Israel dispersos, sino para todos los hijos de Dios dispersos (cf. Jn 11, 52), para la humanidad. En su muerte «por todos» traspasa los límites de tiempo y de lugar, se hace realidad la universalidad de su misión.”

“Es preciso acostumbrarse a invocar el nombre del Señor más que a respirar, en todo tiempo y lugar; y en todas las necesidades. El Apóstol dice: «Orad incesantemente», lo que significa tener el recuerdo de Dios en todo tiempo, lugar o cosa. Puesto que, en cualquier cosa que uno realice, debe operar el recuerdo de Aquél que ha hecho todo lo que podemos tener entre las manos. Que cada movimiento tuyo sea para ti ocasión de dar gloria a Dios y, de esa manera, verás que oras incesantemente. Por todo esto, el alma se alegrará.”

“Si alcanzáis demasiado rápido la gloria, la gente se volverá vuestro enemigo y no seréis de ninguna utilidad. Si os eleváis progresivamente en el mundo, las personas serán aliados vuestros y seréis felices. A la larga, que hayáis sido rápido o lento, en cuanto hayáis adquirido la comprensión de los otros, nada os amenaza. Se dice que la suerte que os es dada por otros es la más segura.”

“'Gloria, Gloria!' they cry, for their song embraces all that the Lord has begun this day: Glory to God in the highest of heavens! And peace to the people with whom he is pleased! And who are these people? With whom does the good Lord choose to take his pleasure? The shepherds. The plain and nameless - whose every name the Lord knows well. You. And me.”

“As a child, I saw this beautiful film, Dracula's Daughter, and it was with Gloria Holden and was a sequel to the original Dracula. It was all about this beautiful daughter of Dracula who was an artist in London, and she felt drinking blood was a curse. It had beautiful, sensitive scenes in it, and that film mesmerized me. It established to me what vampires were—these elegant, tragic, sensitive people. I was really just going with that feeling when writing Interview With the Vampire. I didn't do a lot of research.”

“If we are still here to witness the destruction of our planet some five billion years or more hence, then we will have achieved something so unprecedented in the history of life that we should be willing to sing our swansong with joy - Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.”

“In 1986, Gloria Steinem wrote that if men got periods, they 'would brag about how long and how much': that boys would talk about their menstruation as the beginning of their manhood, that there would be 'gifts, religious ceremonies' and sanitary supplies would be 'federally funded and free'. I could live without the menstrual bragging - though mine is particularly impressive - and ceremonial parties, but seriously: Why aren't tampons free?”

“I...understand that age is kind of awesome. I am fortunate enough to know women like Gloria Steinem - who I think is one of the most stunning women on the planet - [who] doesn't touch her face. Diane Keaton, Annette Bening - all of these fabulous, fearless women who are flawless - they embrace it!”

“As Gloria Steinem said about Ginger Rogers: She was doing everything Fred Astaire was doing, just doing it backwards in high heels. Well, Southern women are doing and enduring what other women have to do and endure, but (at least until recently) they had to do it in heels and hats and white gloves and makeup and a sweet smile, with maybe a glass of bourbon and a cigarette to get them through the magnolia part of being a steel magnolia.”

“It was really fun and intimate in a way. Working with George Miller is exquisite. Gloria is different from anything I've ever played before. The first time I saw the characters in the studio I remember thinking that Mumble looked just like Elijah, with such a cute and endearing face. I don't think Gloria looks that much like me.”

“I never looked at magazines before I started modeling. I was 13 or 14 and none of my friends were into magazines. We were into the fashion of the day, though. Designer jeans were really popular - Sasson, Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein, Jordache. Once I started modeling, I began to learn about these things, and magazines helped me to understand who was who.”

“All we are asking for is balance. I would like to think that I could walk into a public library and find not only works by Gloria Steinem but also those of Phyllis Schlafly. I would like to think a teenager could be taught in sex education that a serious alternative to abortion is teenage abstinence, or should pregnancy occur, that adoption might be preferable. I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat. But I do think everyone has a right, and that the Christian voice is being chocked off.”

“I was debating whether to do Legally Blonde, and I saw this interview with Gloria Steinem about how important Goldie Hawn's role in Private Benjamin was for women; by the end of the movie, the character socked her fiancé in the face at the altar because he didn't understand who she'd become through her journey. I was like, "I feel like Gloria Steinem told me to do Legally Blonde. That's how Elle Woods is too!"”

“In 2014, when Hillary Clinton was not yet running for president, I stated that I was not in agreement with her politics. More recently, when asked my thoughts about Hillary Clinton during a public conversation with Gloria Steinem, I stated, "she embodies the very best of imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't vote for her."”

“Getting to a place where I am comfortable saying things was hard-earned for me. I've chewed on the ground glass of my own experience. I saw Gloria Steinem speak, and I was just like, Shut the front door. She was saying that she didn't come into her own until her 40s, and she was asking herself the question, Why should she have to get married? And I just thank God someone asked that question, right? I think we're the first generation of women asking ourselves certain questions and deciding for ourselves.”

“My generation of bossy, confident, baby-boom women were something brand new in history. Our energy and assertiveness weren't created by Betty Friedan, unknown before her 1963 book, or by Gloria Steinem, whose political activism, as even the Lifetime profile admitted, did not begin until 1969.”

“They were stars on this stage, each playing to an audience of two: the passion of their pretense created the actuality. Here, finally, was the quintessence of self-expression-- yet it was probable that for the most part their love expressed Gloria rather than Anthony. He felt often like a scarecly tolerated guest at a party she was giving.”
