Reality Of Life Quotes

“No one has the complete freedom to choose everything in his or her life, sis. They may think they do. They may think they're choosing those jeans because they like them or that house because of that location, or that car because of the speed, but the reality is, they choose the jeans because some celebrity wore them, they choose that house because they needed to live near the kid's school, or that car because it was the only one they could afford that could live up to their social standard.”

“The coma carried me into a world where time and space seemed to vanish; it was a dreamlike existence in which people, places, and situations shifted as quickly as thoughts. I had a profound sense of being at a crossroads, a turning point, somewhere between death and life...”

“Well, what you ding this kind of work for--against your own people?" "Three dollars a day. I got damn sick of creeping for my dinner--and not getting it. I got a wife and kids. We got to eat. Three dollars a day and it comes every day." "But for your three dollars a day fifteen or twenty families can't eat at all. Nearly a hundred people have to go and wander on the roads for your three dollars a day. Is that right?" "Can't think of that. Got to think of my own kids." *** "Nearly a hundred people on the road for your three dollars. Where will we go?" "And that reminds me, you better get out soon. I'm going through the dooryard after dinner...I got orders wherever there's a family not moved out--if I have an accident--you know, get too close and cave in the house a little--well, I might get a couple of dollars. And my youngest kid never had no shoes yet." "I built this with my hands...It's mine. I built it. You bump it down--I'll be in the window with a rifle..." "It's not me. There's nothing I can do. I'll lose my job if I don't do it. And look--suppose you kill me? They'll just hang you, but not long before you're hung there'll be another guy on the tractor, and he'll bump the house down. You're not killing the right guy." *** Across the dooryard the tractor cut, and the hard, foot-beaten ground was seeded field, and the tractor cut through again; the uncut space was ten feet wide. And back he came. The iron guard bit into the house-corner, crumbled the wall and wrenched the house from its foundation so that it fell sideways,crushed like a bug...The tenant man stared after [the tractor], his rifle in his hand. His wife beside him, and the quiet children behind. And all of them stared after the tractor.”

“Yo creía que el alma me había sido dada para gozar de las bellezas del mundo, la luz de la luna sobre la anaranjada cresta de una nube, y la gota de rocío temblando encima de una rosa. Mas, cuando fui pequeño creí siempre que la vida reservaba para mí un acontecimiento sublime y hermoso. Pero a medida que examinaba la vida de los otros hombres, descubrí que vivían aburridos, como si habitaran en un país siempre lluvioso, donde los rayos de la lluvia les dejaran en el fondo de las pupilas tabiques de agua que les deformaban la visión de las cosas. Y comprendí que las almas se movían como los peces prisioneros en un acuario. Al otro lado de los verdinosos muros de vidrio estaba la hermosa vida cantante y altísima, donde todo sería distinto, fuerte y múltiple, y donde los seres nuevos de una creación más perfecta, con sus bellos cuerpos saltarían en una atmósfera elástica- Es inútil, tengo que escaparme de la tierra.”

“-Quello che valeva ai suoi tempi vale ancora e varrà sempre: in ogni tempo, il Bello è assai più redditizio del Bene. - Rifletta. Il Bene non lascia alcuna traccia materiale, e dunque nessuna traccia, perché lei sa quanto valga la gratitudine degli uomini. Nulla si dimentica in fretta quanto il Bene. C'è di peggio: nulla passa tanto inosservato quanto il Bene, perché il vero Bene non pronuncia mai il suo nome e, se lo pronuncia, cessa di essere Bene per diventare propaganda. Il Bello invece può durare per sempre: in sè è la sua stessa traccia. Si parla di lui e di coloro che lo hanno servito. Il che dimostra che il Bello e il Bene sono retti da leggi opposte: più si parla del Bello, più diventa bello; più si parla del Bene, meno esso lo è. Insomma, un individuo responsabile che si voti alla causa del Bene fa un cattivo investimento. -Del Male, però, se ne parla! -Ah, certo: il Male è ancora più redditizio del Bello. Quelli che hanno puntato sul Male hanno fatto l' investimento migliore. I nomi dei benefattori del suo tempo sono stati dimenticati da un pezzo; quelli di Stalin o di Mussolini ci suonano ancora familiari. -Già. Lei è di origine svedese. Se fosse stato di origine ebraica, forse il genocidio nazista le sarebbe sembrato una sfida più interessante. - Non ne sarei così sicuro. I popoli ci tengono ai loro antenati martiri. E' la sola aristocrazia che non viene mai contestata. - Sia gentile, parliamo d'altro. La mia capacità di cinismo ha fatto il pieno.”

“The sum total of all realities - perceived, conceived, observed or unobservable - all of them, in all forms, is but One Indivisible Totality. This "One" stays so in eternity, as infinity. It runs everything yet does not become anything. It is timeless, limitless, endless and beginningless. All comes from and goes unto it. Call "it" the Universal or Cosmic Self; or God. There is nothing else. Go search by yourself.”
