Sabiduría de Hawking

"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."

- Stephen Hawking quoted in Der Spiegel

Dylan y su magnificencia I

Una de las mejores rolas de Dylan en la epoca en la que en su musica solo había cupo para una guitarra, su inconfundible voz y conciencia social.

"Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And the land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns on their hands
And God on their side.

The First World War, boys
It came and it went
The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war"

Bob Dylan, With God on Our Side

Sabiduría del Rock I

" White Americans, what?
Nothing better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too.

Who's using who?
What should we do?
Well, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too."

The White Stripes, Icky Thump

Belleza de Pellicer

¡Los ojos! Por los ojos el Bien y el Mal nos llegan.
La luz del alma en ellos nos da luces que ciegan.
Ojos que nada ven, almas que nada entregan.

Carlos Pellicer

Sabes que estuviste en el Hospital Angeles del Pedregal cuando uno de los médicos utiliza crocs en vez de zapatos balncos. WTF!

Genial

Mas Sabiduría de Feynman

"If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize."

"Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?"

"Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate."

"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt."
