Description Quotes - page 13
This is the deal: we are happy to single out people as superior just as long as they don't accept the description themselves. We want heroes and idols but we also want egalitarianism and that requires proclamations of humility from our Gods.
Julian Baggini
I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.
Juliet Stevenson
I grew up watching stand-ups and thought it was so entertaining and unique - you didn't see that as a job description anywhere.
Kevin Nealon
There was something special about watching a manager and umpire both convinced they were totally right, but knowing that one had to be wrong. As an ump, those moments made my job fun, and getting 'nose-to-nose' was part of my job description.
Doug Harvey
Alan Turing gave us a mathematical model of digital computing that has completely withstood the test of time. He gave us a very, very clear description that was truly prophetic.
George Dyson
Storms are sex. They exist alongside and are indifferent to words and description and dissection.
Kevin Patterson
'Hamlet' is the best description of grief I've read because it dramatizes grief rather than merely describing it.
Meghan O'Rourke
I love food. I mean, I really love food. I take pictures of my finest, funniest and most fascinating dishes, post them on Twitter, and send them to friends. I treat menus like classic literature, refusing to skip even one word. I read the description of every item, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in eating it.
Rachel Nichols
There's an adage that is an apt description of the new dynamic at work between brands and consumers connected through social media: People support what they help to build. But now that many brands are launching community-driven cause marketing campaigns, the challenge becomes what to do next?
Simon Mainwaring
I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.
Sam Taylor-Wood
Temptation is impossible for me to resist Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.
Tom Sizemore
I love playing characters, so I'm always telling my agents, 'Don't worry if the character description is something you think I'm not. Let me try to be that person.
Vanessa Lengies
My mother used to push 'Wuthering Heights' on me as a boy, and I sensed from her breathy description of the story that it would make me laugh. I have no plans to find out if this is true.
Walter Kirn
Happiness just wasn't part of the job description back then. You tried to find a helpmate to keep the cold wind and dogs at bay. Happiness just wasn't part of the equation. Survival was.
Robin Green
[I]n a fundamental description of nature we must "forget time"... this can be done in the classical and in the quantum theory.
Carlo Rovelli
Ironically, conventional quantum mechanics itself involves a vast expansion of physical reality, which may be enough to avoid Einstein Insanity. The equations of quantum dynamics allow physicists to predict the future values of the wave function, given its present value. According to the Schrödinger equation, the wave function evolves in a completely predictable way. But in practice we never have access to the full wave function, either at present or in the future, so this "predictability” is unattainable. If the wave function provides the ultimate description of reality - a controversial issue!
Frank Wilczek
According to my attempts to understand them, reality is systematically denied in the Copenhagen interpretation in order to circumvent consistency problems (such as "Is the electron really a wave or a particle?”). If there is no reality, one does not need a consistent description!
H. Dieter Zeh
How much self-knowledge is limited to presenting other people with a more precise and exact description of our weaknesses.
Max Frisch
I can't please everyone. That's not in my J.D., you know, not in my job description.
Maria Sharapova
I've been keeping a diary for thirty-three years and write in it every morning. Most of it's just whining, but every so often there'll be something I can use later: a joke, a description, a quote. It's an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments. 'That's not what you said on February 3, 1996,' I'll say to someone.
David Sedaris
This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
Shigeru Miyamoto
There never did, there never will, and there never can, exist a Parliament, or any description of men, or any generation of men, in any country, possessed of the right or the power of binding and controlling posterity to the "end of time," or of commanding for ever how the world shall be governed.
Thomas Paine
