Many traditional religions foster attitudes that ought to have disappeared as biological understanding accumulated over the last century.
~By George C. Williams ~
We cannot escape that Hollywood is in the middle of a wave of technological change. The current angst over all the implications of new entertainment technology is nothing new.

This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
~By Jean Piaget ~
I was so impressed with the work we were doing and I was very involved ideologically in photography - that I arranged an exhibition at the College Art Association. The first exhibition I picked the photographs and so on and we had an exhibition in New York.

~By John Polkinghorne ~
Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities.
~By Lord Dunsany ~

~By Talcott Parsons ~
One of the most powerful devices is to distort time, to go from human time to atomic time, geologic time. Sometimes you can actually accomplish that, with one unexpected word choice.
~By Robert Morgan ~
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
~By Fred Allen ~
Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.
~By Paul Tournier ~
When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favour of the belief which he finds in himself.
~By Bertrand Russell ~

~By Terence Stamp ~
I invented the psychological histories and the relationship between Jack and Susan Stanton. I didn't know anything about the Clintons. I don't know more about the Clintons' marriage than you do.
~By Joe Klein ~
I want to describe the psychological state of the people in a certain city.
~By Orhan Pamuk ~
Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.
~By Anish Kapoor ~
I felt really sorry for Oliver Kahn. Up to that point he had made lots of saves for the German team. Of course he could have caught the ball but it just happened. It was bad luck. In that situation, you need to be very strong psychologically to carry on.
~By Angela Merkel ~
It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection.
~By Michael Behe ~
Vivid images are like a beautiful melody that speaks to you on an emotional level. It bypasses your logic centers and even your intellect and goes to a different part of the brain.
~By Steven Bochco ~
Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

Of course, nobody would deny the importance of human beings for theological thinking, but the time span of history that theologians think about is a few thousand years of human culture rather than the fifteen billion years of the history of the universe.
~By John Polkinghorne ~
What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you're advancing. If you don't you're as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn't there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.
~By Lyndon B. Johnson ~
But my problem with fantasy, and horror, and related genres, is that sometimes the problems are illogical.
~By Octavia Butler ~

~By Charles W. Pickering ~
Logic is like the sword - those who appeal to it, shall perish by it.
~By Samuel Butler ~
I believe Mexico should dedicate 100% of its oil revenues to developing human capital and technological development. None of us politicians should be able to touch that money.
~By Vicente Fox ~
I love Logic Audio and have been using it for years. All my track outputs used to come up on my old board in the same order as in the old Mac G4 - 1 through 32, came up as 1 through 32, for instance.
~By Tony Visconti ~
Logic and mathematics are nothing but specialised linguistic structures.

~By Christian Lous Lange ~
The resistance of policy-makers to intelligence is not just founded on an ideological presupposition. They distrust intelligence sources and intelligence officials because they don't understand what the real problems are.
~By Aldrich Ames ~
The impact of the magazine was very strong. As I said, it portrayed dinosaurs as part of the geological history, part of the story of life on earth. It struck that paleontology was the career for me.
~By Robert T. Bakker ~
Without this spirit, Modernist architecture cannot fully exist. Since there is often a mismatch between the logic and the spirit of Modernism, I use architecture to reconcile the two.
~By Tadao Ando ~

~By Edward Sapir ~
These studies resulted eventually in a complete sequence analysis of the complex from several species, and in the atomic resolution structure of the F catalytic domain of the enzyme from bovine mitochondria, giving new insights into how ATP is made in the biological world.
~By John E. Walker ~
This work made me more and more interested in biological matter, and I decided that I really wanted to work on the X-ray analysis of biological molecules.
~By Aaron Klug ~
Grow your tree of falsehood from a small grain of truth. Do not follow those who lie in contempt of reality. Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself, so the weary travelers may find repose.
~By Czeslaw Milosz ~
Language is an archaeological vehicle... the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history.
~By Russell Hoban ~
To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point.
~By Wilhelm Dilthey ~
Logic teaches rules for presentation, not thinking.
~By Mason Cooley ~
Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism.

~By Anatole Broyard ~
While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.

~By Zach Wamp ~
Most of the mistakes in thinking are inadequacies of perception rather than mistakes of logic.
~By Edward de Bono ~
Gore will not win a popularity contest, he will not win a personality contest, but he can win an idealogical battle, and he can win a battle of experience.
~By Susan Estrich ~
Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.
~By Allen Tate ~
For psychological purposes the most important differences in conation are those in virtue of which the object is revealed as sensed or perceived or imaged or remembered or thought.
~By Samuel Alexander ~
