Famous Quotes & Sayings

Kanye West

I used to have the Virgin music [stores], and I would go there and just go up the escalator and say to myself, 'I'm soaking in these last moments of anonymity.' I knew I was going to make it this far; I knew that this was going to happen

Kami Garcia

Laws of physics laws of love of time and space and the (in)between place (in)between you and me and where we are lost and looking looking and lost

June Carter Cash

For the last 20 months, I've just been going from one hospital to another.

June Jordan

The United States Supreme Court, once a reliable if ultimate recourse for progressive and even revolutionary grievances, has become a retrograde wellspring for enormous economic and social distress.

Julian McMahon

Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.

Judy Woodruff

Election Day now has become the last day to vote.

Paul Kantner

You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything.

Paul Klee

It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.

Paul Klee

To achieve vital harmony in a picture it must be constructed out of parts in themselves incomplete, brought into harmony only at the last stroke.

Paul Dickson

Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being.

Paul Dickson

Advice, First Law of: The correct advice to give is the advice that is desired.

Paul Dirac

A physical law must possess mathematical beauty.

Paul Dirac

The research worker, in his efforts to express the fundamental laws of Nature in mathematical form, should strive mainly for mathematical beauty. He should take simplicity into consideration in a subordinate way to beauty ... It often happens that the requirements of simplicity and beauty are the same, but where they clash, the latter must take precedence.

Paul Dirac

The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation.

Paul Davies

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith, be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws.

Paul Davies

Cosmologists have attempted to account for the day-to-day laws you find in textbooks in terms of fundamental 'superlaws,' but the superlaws themselves must still be accepted as brute facts. So maybe the ultimate laws of nature will always be off-limits to science.

Paul Davies

The question not many ask is: why are the laws of physics like they are?

Paul Davies

Science may explain the world, but we still have to explain science. The laws which enable the universe to come into being spontaneously seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design. If physics is the product of design, the universe must have a purpose, and the evidence of modern physics suggests strongly to me that the purpose includes us

Paul Davies

The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.

Paul Davies

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

Paul Davies

Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves.

Paul Davies

My feeling is that scientific method has the power to account for and interlink all phenomena in the universe, including its origin, using the laws of nature. But that still leaves the laws unexplained.

Paul Davies

Traditionally, scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given,' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth, and fixed thereafter. Inquiry into the origin and nature of the laws was not regarded as a proper part of science.

Paul Davies

Mathematics is universal. It's discovered by human beings, but the rules of mathematics are the same throughout the universe and the laws of the universe.

Panayiotis Zavos

We're not lawbreakers, we're law-abiding, and intend to stay that way.

Paolo Bacigalupi

Laws are a fine thing on paper, but painful when no bribery can ease their bind.

Paolo Bacigalupi

Laws are confusing documents. They get in the way of justice.

Paracelsus

The ultimate cause of human disease is the consequence of our transgression of the universal laws of life.

Paramahansa Yogananda

Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.

Paramahansa Yogananda

The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.

Owen Hart

All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement.

To go to law is for two persons to kindle a fire, at their own cost, to warm others and singe themselves to cinders; and because they cannot agree as to what is truth and equity, they will both agree to unplume themselves that others may be decorated with their feathers.

Ovid

Our native land charms us with inexpressible sweetness, and never never allows us to forget that we belong to it. [Lat., Nescio qua natale solum dulcedine captos Ducit, et immemores non sinit esse sui.]
