What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second. (Karl Lagerfeld)
[Happiness is] The exercise of vital powers, along lines of excellence, in a life affording them scope. View quote
Edith Hamilton
"You can never be too safe." Yes, you can. How many of us bother to inspect the hydraulic brake lines in our cars before we start the engine and head off to work? Doing so would be safer than simply assuming that the lines were intact and driving off. After all, prior to launching a space vehicle, the people at NASA make no similar assumptions. They go through a countdown of all systems, taking nothing for granted. Erring on the side of over-caution is costly, and so is erring on the side of under-caution, though for a given choice, one might be costlier than the other. View quote
Walter E. Williams
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way. View quote
Al Capone
"Mortality", in Songs of Israel (1824). Abraham Lincoln was fond of repeating these lines. View quote
William Knox
I like writing on piano and a computer, and a lot of 'Plans' came out of samples and vocal lines. View quote
Ben Gibbard
I'm just always learning lines. I've learned to flag the really crucial scenes, and I start figuring them out and committing them to memory as soon as I get them. View quote
Claire Danes
I can't think of anything to write about, I'm just walking around here between the lines, under the light of your eyes, in the breadth of your mouth as in a beautiful happy day, which remains beautiful and happy, even when the head is sick and tired. View quote
Franz Kafka
It is the quality of revolutions not to go by old lines or old laws; but to break up both, and make new ones. View quote
Abraham Lincoln
Towards the outside, at any rate, the ego seems to maintain clear and sharp lines of demarcation. There is only one state - admittedly an unusual state, but not one that can be stigmatized as pathological - in which it does not do this. At the height of being in love the boundary between ego and object threatens to melt away. View quote
Sigmund Freud
Towards the outside, at any rate, the ego seems to maintain clear and sharp lines of demarcation. There is only one state - admittedly an unusual state, but not one that can be stigmatized as pathological - in which it does not do this. At the height of being in love the boundary between ego and object threatens to melt away. Against all the evidence of his senses, a man who is in love declares that "I" and "you" are one, and is prepared to behave as if it were a fact. (Sigmund Freud)
I was thinking about that, about what lines you'd be willing to cross if someone took your loved one or child. View quote
Rick Yune
The number of lines of code a programmer can write in a fixed period of time is the same independent of the language used. View quote
Fernando J. Corbató
Touted as a legislation that will promote unity, it has done exactly the opposite. It has divided this country, apparently and sadly along racial lines. (on the government's controversial Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, which Ganilau opposes). View quote
Epeli Ganilau
Geometry was invented that we might expeditiously avoid, by drawing Lines, the Tediousness of Computation. View quote
Isaac Newton
Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn; for it requires that the learner should first be taught to describe these accurately, before he enters upon geometry; then it shows how by these operations problems may be solved. View quote
Isaac Newton
The Circle is a Geometrical Line, not because it may be express'd by an Æquation, but because its Description is a Postulate. It is not the Simplicity of the Æquation, but the Easiness of the Description, which is to determine the Choice of our Lines for the Construction of Problems. View quote
Isaac Newton
But the Moderns advancing yet much farther, have receiv'd into Geometry all Lines that can be express'd by Æquations, and have distinguish'd, according to the Dimensions of the Æquations, those Lines into Kinds; and have made it a Law, that you are not to construct a Problem by a Line of a superior Kind, that may be constructed by one of an inferior one. View quote
Isaac Newton
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space -- how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
["Lines you wouldn't hear in a superhero movie"] What's that Joker, you'll be back? Somehow I don't think you will be. (Frankie Boyle)
["Lines you wouldn't hear in a superhero movie"] Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Whatever it is it's heading straight for the World Trade Center! View quote
Frankie Boyle
There are actors who can pull of a writer's lines; I am not competent enough to do that. View quote
Salman Khan
Both sexes work on their lines before they appear onstage. His lines are a lifetime of work; her introductory 'line' is her appearance--or her lack of lines. Just as careers give men power, so beauty gives women power. But just as the comparison between herself and the most beautiful women makes a woman feel powerless, so the comparison between himself and the most successful men makes a man feel powerless. View quote
Warren Farrell
Test this out on yourself. Imagine that for a month you have neither had your garbage picked up nor an opportunity to read about new anthropological discoveries. Which would you pay more money to remedy? A society that functions effectively adjusts the pay until the supply matches the need. Failure to make these adjustments not only leaves streets filled with garbage, but also leaves unemployment lines filled with anthropologists. View quote
