Alien Quotes

To preserve the integrity of the tradition, we have to distinguish between what is central to that integrity and what is peripheral. We have to discern between what elements are vital for the survival of dharma practice and what are alien cultural artefacts that might obstruct that survival Picture Quote #1

I never read the scripts at all carefully and never wanted to know what was going on, because I felt that being a benevolent alien, that’s the way it should be Picture Quote #1

The ignorant man is not free, because what confronts him is an alien world, something outside him and in the offing, on which he depends, without his having made this foreign world for himself and therefore without being at home in it by himself as in something his own. The impulse of curiosity, the pressure for knowledge, from the lowest level up to the highest rung of philosophical insight arises only from the struggle to cancel this situation of unfreedom and to make the world one’s own in one’s ideas and thought Picture Quote #1

Superhero science has taught me this: Entire universes fit comfortably inside our skulls. Not just one or two but endless universes can be packed into that dark, wet, and bony hollow without breaking it open from the inside. The space in our heads will stretch to accommodate them all. The real doorway to the fifth dimension was always right here. Inside. That infinite interior space contains all the divine, the alien, and the unworldly we’ll ever need Picture Quote #1

Parenthood abruptly catapults us into a permanent relationship with a stranger, and the more alien the stranger, the stronger the whiff of negativity. We depend on the guarantee in our children’s faces that we will not die. Children whose defining quality annihilates that fantasy of immortality are a particular insult; we must love them for themselves, and not for the best of ourselves in them, and that is a great deal harder to do. Loving our own children is an exercise for the imagination Picture Quote #1

Because computers have memories, we imagine that they must be something like our human memories, but that is simply not true. Computer memories work in a manner alien to human memories. My memory lets me recognize the faces of my friends, whereas my own computer never even recognizes me. My computer’s memory stores a million phone numbers with perfect accuracy, but I have to stop and think to recall my own Picture Quote #1

Any man who barely sustains an armistice with himself has no business poking around in an alien soul Picture Quote #1

The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it’s made, since it’s first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times Picture Quote #1

I don’t think an alien will be a blob. If aliens are out there they should have evolved just like us. They should have eyes and be walking on two legs. In short if there is any life out there then it is likely to be very similar to us Picture Quote #1

Jesus did not identify the person with his sin, but rather saw in this sin something alien, something that really did not belong to him, something that merely chained and mastered him and from which he could free him and bring him back to his real self. Jesus was able to love men because he loved them right through the layer of mud Picture Quote #1

Mom used to frame everything we made, and now I’m following her example. It makes children so proud to see their work on display instead of hidden away. I figure if I take my children’s work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art Picture Quote #1

Gay sexuality inevitably involves brutal physical abusiveness and the unnatural imposition of alien substances into internal organs, orally and anally, that inevitably suppress the immune system and heighten susceptibility to disease Picture Quote #1

When your kids turn 13, an alien being invades their bodies and doesn’t leave until they’re 20 Picture Quote #1

Civilisation is never so charming as when it is an island in the middle of simplicity, or of a civilisation of an alien kind Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t safe. I wasn’t permanent. My life was a fiction I had created, like an alien who comes to earth and tries to pass as human. The affections of my friends meant nothing to me, directed, as they were, toward a person who wasn’t there. There was nobody home Picture Quote #1

Man is not a machine,... although man most certainly processes information, he does not necessarily process it in the way computers do. Computers and men are not species of the same genus.... No other organism, and certainly no computer, can be made to confront genuine human problems in human terms... However much intelligence computers may attain, now or in the future, theirs must always be an intelligence alien to genuine human problems and concerns Picture Quote #1

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you? Picture Quote #1

The approach of intellect or noesis will forever be an effete and limited sort of thing by contrast with the vigor and color of gnosis; but in academia there is virtually nothing but noetic minds to be found, and the very idea of gnosis is alien and untranslatable, not to mention discreditable Picture Quote #1

Nothing in our politics is any longer driven or designed by individual humans who have a name and a face; we have sunk from theism into impersonal and depersonalizing deism, a scheme of rule by alien and implacable abstract metaphysical forces Picture Quote #1

We become our own enemy when we are thrown out of balance by anger, hatred, grief, or any other intense emotion. We are for the time being obsessed by something alien Picture Quote #1

To expect alien technology to be just a few decades ahead of ours is too incredible to be taken seriously Picture Quote #1

For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance Picture Quote #1

I shop online because I don’t like to try things on in front of an alien mirror Picture Quote #1

It’d be interesting to see a film from an alien perspective. Maybe we’re the weird ones Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people really have religious overtones of having come from somewhere. I mean, even the whole concept of religion is kind of alien Picture Quote #1

My eyes are so big that, weirdly, I feel like an alien if my eyelashes don’t match their intensity. I like to curl my lashes to the point where they’re sticking straight up and then put on a ton of mascara! Picture Quote #1

If a person plays dissonance long enough, it will sound like consonance. It’s a language that was alien and then it’s less and less alien as it continues to live Picture Quote #1

Antarctica is a very alien environment, and you can’t survive here more than minutes if you’re not equipped properly and doing the right thing all the time Picture Quote #1

Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto.I am human: nothing human is alien to me Picture Quote #1

It is good not to think of karma as an alien force that is outside of yourself. You are the generator of karma. Karma is the energy patterns that emanate from your life Picture Quote #1
