Motto-uri [[:D]]

[Jigoku]

astea nu sunt tocmai mottouri,ci mai degraba citate ale unor oameni,diversi oameni care au spus lucruri destepte

As avea si eu cateva ale lui Frank Herbert, din seria Dune :

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
“The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.”
“Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife--chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's compete because it's ended here.'”
“Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.”
“The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.”
“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”
“Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.”
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
“We accept too damned many things on the explanations of people who could have good reasons for lying”
“When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them”
“Ultimately, all things are known because you want to believe you know”
“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality.”
“Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.”
“Something cannot emerge from nothing.”
“To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.”
“To attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing the Darkness. It cannot be.”
“How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him.”
“There is no escape - we pay for the violence of our ancestors.”
“The proximity of a desirable thing tempts one to overindulgence. On that path lies danger.”
“Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. . . . the human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive.”
“The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action.”
“It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”
“Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it”
“Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?”
“What do you despise? By this are you truly known”
“You should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die”
“No matter how exotic human civilization becomes, no matter the developments of life and society nor the complexity of the machine/human interface, there always comes interludes of lonely power when the course of humankind, the very future of humankind, depends upon the relatively simple actions of single individuals.”
Here lies a fallen god His fall was not a small one, We did but build his pedestal An narrow and a tall one”
“ who can destroy a thing, can control that thing.”
“One of the best things to come out of the home computer revolution could be the general and widespread understanding of how severely limited logic really is.”
“Paired opposites define your longings and those longings imprison you”
“When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.”
“Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.”
