Ralph Waldo Emerson фото

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
Когда вы принимаете решение, вселенная вступает в сговор, чтобы это произошло.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) American philosopher, essayist, and poet

Attributed to Emerson in The Gift of Depression : Twenty-one Inspirational Stories Sharing Experience, Strength, and Hope (2001) by John F. Brown, p. 56, no prior occurrence of this a statement has been located; it seems to be derived from one which occurs in The Alchemist (1988) by Paulo Coelho, p. 22: When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

John Steinbeck фото

“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you got two new people. Maybe that means — hell, it's complicated.”
Когда встречаются два человека, каждый из них меняется под влиянием другого, таким образом, ты получаешь двух новых людей. Может быть это значит... Дьявол, слишком уж запутанно всё это!

Martin Luther King, Jr. фото

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend.”
Любовь — это единственная сила, способная превратить любого врага в друга.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968) American clergyman, activist, and leader in the American Civil Rights Movement

1950s, Loving Your Enemies (Christmas 1957)
Контексте: A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.

William Blake фото

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”
Если бы двери восприятия были очищены, все казалось бы человеку таким, как оно есть, Бесконечным. Ибо человек замкнулся в себе до тех пор, пока не увидит всё через узкие щели своей пещеры.

William Blake книга The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

George Carlin фото

“If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.”
Если это правда, что наш вид во вселенной один, то я должен сказать, что вселенная направилась не туда, и довольствуется очень малым. (Заселена мало)

George Carlin (1937–2008) American stand-up comedian

Aldous Huxley фото

“Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
Опыт — это не то, что происходит с человеком, а то, что делает человек с тем, что с ним происходит.

Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) English writer

Texts and Pretexts (1932), p. 5
Вариант: Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.
Источник: Texts & Pretexts: An Anthology With Commentaries
Контексте: The poet is, etymologically, the maker. Like all makers, he requires a stock of raw materials — in his case, experience. Now experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss-house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him. It is a gift for dealing with the accidents of existence, not the accidents themselves. By a happy dispensation of nature, the poet generally possesses the gift of experience in conjunction with that of expression.

Ernest Hemingway фото

“All things truly wicked start from an innocence.”
Все настоящие злодейства начинаются как невинная затея.

A Moveable Feast (1964)

Ralph Waldo Emerson фото

“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”
Храните свои свободные минутки. Они как неогранённые алмазы. Потратите их - и их ценность никогда не станет известна. Улучшите их - и они станут самыми яркими сокровищами в полезной жизни.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) American philosopher, essayist, and poet
Michel De Montaigne фото

“On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom.”

Michel De Montaigne (1533–1592) (1533-1592) French-Occitan author, humanistic philosopher, statesman

Book III, Ch. 13
Essais (1595), Book III

Контексте: No matter that we may mount on stilts, we still must walk on our own legs. And on the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom.

“How come when it’s us, it’s an abortion, and when it’s a chicken, it’s an omelette?”
Почему, когда это мы, то это аборт, а когда это курица, то это омлет?

George Carlin (1937–2008) American stand-up comedian

"Abortion"
Back in Town (1996)
Контексте: Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelet? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen; that we passed chickens in goodness? Name six ways we're better than chickens... See, nobody can do it! You know why? 'Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No. You don't see a chicken strapping some guy to a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about came home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen... 'cause chickens are decent people.
