Mankind's common instinct for ordspråk

Mänsklighetens gemensamma instinkt för verkligheten har alltid sett världen som i grund och botten en scen för hjältedåd. I hjältedåd känner vi att livets högsta mysterium är dolt. Vi tolererar ingen som helt saknar förmåga för det åt något håll. Å andra sidan.

Mankind's common instinct for reality has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life's supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand

William James (1842-1910)

Mänskligheten

Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death. There is no real piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious con

[Nancy Gibbs put it best when describing the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster in Time magazine.] On a normal day, ... we value heroism because it is uncommon. On Sept. 11, we valued heroism because it was everywhere.

Nancy Gibbs

We're going to hear of a thousand more acts of heroism. But the bottom line is that having a response plan that relies on heroism is not tenable.

Joe Cappiello

Isn't it only natural to leave a place where one is so bitterly hated?...The heroism involved in staying put in spite of it all is the heroism of a cockroach, which also won't be driven out of the bathroom.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

I happened to be listening to David Bowie's 'Heroes,' ... That, and a colleague in Austria was teaching heroism to Americans - how we spend lots of time discussing heroism.

Tim Burton

The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

I want to say a few words of another type of heroism, the forgotten heroism sitting with us in our survivors. It was with their help and contribution that we built a thriving nation, ... This is the proper moment to express to them the gratitude of the entire nation.

Benjamin Netanyahu

We'll probably never know if the plane ultimately was headed toward the White House or the Capitol. But no matter where it was ultimately headed, the act of heroism that took place on that aircraft stands out as one of the most amazing feats of heroism in our country's long history of heroes.

Ari Fleischer

The world can therefore seize the opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind

George Bush (1924-1924)

The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they've been at other times.

Angus Wilson

I think we've come a long way because five years ago the world was in denial, and now we get Kate Moss getting caught and she says, 'Mea culpa. I'm sorry.' We live in a world in which we forgive and we grow. I'm acknowledging her heroism because I think it's fantastic she stood up and said, 'Yes, I did it.'

Kate Moss (1974-)

True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

Since music is a language with some meaning at least for the immense majority of mankind, although only a tiny minority of people are capable of formulating a meaning in it, and since it is the only language with the contradictory attributes of being at once intelligible and untranslatable, the musical creator is a being comparable to the gods, and music itself the supreme mystery of the science of man, a mystery that all the various disciplines come up against and which holds the key to their progress.

Claude Levi-Strauss (1908-)
