Quotes About Weight

The tons of steel of the Russian tanks were nothing compared with it. For there is nothing heavier compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.
~ Milan Kundera
For there is nothing heavier than compas­sion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the im­agination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.
~ Milan Kundera
Toate tonele de fier ale tancurilor ruseÈ™ti nu însemnau nimic fa?? de aceast? greutate. Nimic nu cânt?reÈ™te mai greu decât compasiunea. Nici propria noastr? durere nu ne apas? atât de greu ca durerea împ?rt??it? cu altul, pentru altul, în locul altuia, multiplicat? de imaginaÈ›ie È™i prelungit? în sute de ecouri.
~ Milan Kundera
Tragedien hennes var ikke vektens, men letthetens tragedie. Det som hadde senket seg ned over henne, var ikke en byrde, men tilværelsens uutholdelige letthet.
~ Milan Kundera
Težina, neophodnost i vrednost su tri me?usobno povezana pojma: teško je samo ono što je neophodno, samo ono što je teško ima vrednost.
~ Milan Kundera
La pesanteur, la nécessité et la valeur sont trois notions intrinsèquement liées : n'est grave que ce qui est nécessaire, n'a de valeur que ce qui pèse.
~ Milan Kundera
U subotu i u nedjelju osje?ao je slatku lako?u postojanja kako mu se približava iz dubine budu?nosti. U ponedjeljak ga je pritisnula težina kakvu do tada nikad nije osjetio. Sve one tone ?elika ruskih tenkova nisu bile ništa prema toj težini. Ništa nije teže od suosje?anja. Ni vlastita bol nije tako teška kao bol suosje?anja s nekim za nekoga, umjesto nekoga, bol višestruko umnožena kroz misaone predodžbe, bol produžena u stotinu odjeka.
~ Milan Kundera
El amor cuando se hace público, aumenta de peso, se convierte en una carga.
~ Milan Kundera
El mito del eterno retorno viene a decir, per negationem, que una vida que desaparece de una vez para siempre, que no retorna, es como una sombra, carece de peso, está muerta de antemano y, si ha sido horrorosa, bella, elevada, ese horror, esa elevación o esa belleza nada significan.
~ Milan Kundera
Todos consideramos impensable que el amor de nuestra vida pueda ser algo leve, sin peso; creemos que nuestro amor es algo que tenía que ser; que sin él nuestra vida no sería nuestra vida.
~ Milan Kundera
Nur das Notwendige ist schwer, nur was wiegt, hat Wert.
~ Milan Kundera
Das schwerste Gewicht beugt uns nieder, erdrückt uns, preßt uns zu Boden. Das schwerste Gewicht ist also gleichzeitig ein Bild intensivster Lebenserfüllung. Je schwerer das Gewicht, desto näher ist unser Leben der Erde, desto wirklicher und wahrer es it.
~ Milan Kundera
Sólo una cosa es segura: la contradicción entre peso y levedad es la más misteriosa y equívoca de todas las contradicciones.
~ Milan Kundera
Christian Louboutin, I love you, but honey, please! But when you have this much weight, you've got to give us a little platform. Sorry! The shoes are stunning though. An ounce of pain, it's worth it.
~ Octavia Spencer
My weight is my love.
~ Saint Augustine
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
~ Victor Hugo
But love was always something heavy for me. Something I had to carry.
~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
My love is inside me where my fat was.
~ Blake Butler
I look hot and, most of all, skinny. I love the day after throwing up. I felt like a feather.
~ Chelsea Handler
So I called back, Ya, I have ten boxes and... no I'm another guy. Ya and they all weigh exactly 22 pounds, and they all have a girth of... three. Three what? Three... girth units.
~ Brian Regan
Is It Baby Fat or Real Fat? The answer partly depends on the parents. A study of 854 Washington State children under three years old showed that a child is nearly three times as likely to grow up obese if one of his parents is obese. If you're overweight, your child has a 65–75 percent chance of growing up to be overweight. So, is that little paunch on your fourth grader baby fat? Not if you're sporting the same paunch.
~ Brian Wansink
But the real concern is with obese people. They typically underestimate how much they eat by 30 to 40 percent. Some think they eat half as much as they actually do.14
~ Brian Wansink
The general was more easy, and today he had guests at the luncheon table. They may have been oddly chosen, all things considered. They came out of the past, when it had been possible for General Burnside to have friends in the army. It did not seem possible now. The weight of command made him suspect the motives of all around him.
~ Bruce Catton
The voice, for its part, has the peculiarity that when released it carries the weight of the body from which it has come; since that weight is erotic reality, lovers believe they can embrace words of love, they believe they can make them into a continuum of love that will last forever.
~ César Aira
