Describing Quotes

The materialistic paradigm of Western science has been a major obstacle for any objective evaluation of the data describing the events occurring at the time of death Picture Quote #1

I’m really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that’s full-bodied and dry Picture Quote #1

The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon Picture Quote #1

The terms socialist and communist are mostly about describing the world we want after capitalism, and I think they are both important Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I can get anywhere near to fully describing what love is Picture Quote #1

I just go for what makes me feel good. Especially in 2011, it’s so easy to sound like a dickhead when describing yourself because anything anyone says is a catch-word or a buzz-phrase Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m really not that competent at describing things musically Picture Quote #1

There’s a fine line between describing yourself as a dreamer and being delusional Picture Quote #1

Writing about sex at length is a bit like describing mastication at length. It’s the causes and the consequences and the meaning of it that are interesting, not the anatomical descriptions Picture Quote #1

(Brazil:) I’ve never beheld such a paradise. The people are enchanting and--a mercy on this earth of ours--this is the only placewhere there isn’t any race question. Negroes and whites and Indians, three-quarters, oneeighth, the wonderful Mulatto and Creole women, Jews and Christians, all dwell together in a peace that passes describing. The Jewish immigrants are in seventh heaven; all of them have jobs and feel at home Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a fairly logical, scientific and somewhat reserved person. Maura Isles, the Boston medical examiner who appears in five of my books, is me. Almost everything I use in describing her, from her taste in wine to her biographical data, is taken from my own family. Except I don’t have a serial killer as a mother! Picture Quote #1

In a film muddied by fictional detail, the new Spielberg production ‘Fifth Estate’’s portrayal of the ‘Guardian’’s work with Wikileaks is accurate in describing the running dispute between journalists who wanted to redact documents to make them safe and Julian Assange, who wanted no such restraint Picture Quote #1

The majority of my UFO diet consists of reports describing suspected encounters. This is not surprising, as there are thousands of sightings annually. The emailer has seen something unusual in the sky that he interprets as probable evidence of alien presence Picture Quote #1

Just as there are many Jews who keep the Friday ritual in their home despite describing themselves as atheists, I am a ‘tribal Christian,’ happy to attend church services Picture Quote #1

People hate to describe their music. What we have come to call it is beat up your mom music. As far as describing what it sounds like, I guess you’d have to listen Picture Quote #1

Completeness? Happiness? These words don’t come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me, particularly given my medical history Picture Quote #1

Maybe it’s just me being lazy but I just don’t like describing my music or style or anything, I just like letting people interpret it Picture Quote #1

A journalist asked this to my father. He spent a day with me and interviewing my friends/colleagues and didn’t understand how I could be the one that created 4chan and, as he put it, ‘couldn’t understand how to fit the square peg into a round hole.’ The best way I have of describing it is, ‘I didn’t define it, and it doesn’t define me.’ Picture Quote #1

Describing the person I am would best be through music. When I’m up on stage and I’m singing my heart out, I am always reminded of life’s best things Picture Quote #1

We have this interesting problem with black holes. What is a black hole? It is a region of space where you have mass that’s confined to zero volume, which means that the density is infinitely large, which means we have no way of describing, really, what a black hole is! Picture Quote #1

What if the book (of Genesis) is describing a dawning awareness of the world? The anthropologist Edmund Leach has argued that the ‘bit’ or binary digit is the basic unit of pre-logical communication. Genesis is a sprouting of ‘bits’, ie elementary binary distinctions Picture Quote #1

I’m not in the business of telling people what to do. I’m much more in the business of describing things, situations and stuff like that and leaving them out there, and you can make up your minds about them Picture Quote #1

There’s a difference between describing and evoking something. You can describe something and be quite clinical about it. To evoke it, you call it up in the reader. That’s what writers do when they’re good Picture Quote #1

While I have questions about the language used in describing the two economic systems, I think people have fairly good gut sense of the difference between socialism and capitalism Picture Quote #1

Use description of landscape to help you establish the emotional tone of the scene. Keep notes of how other authors establish mood and foreshadow events by describing the world around the character Picture Quote #1

I’m blessed with three children who actually aren’t terribly impressed with pandering to my ego, and one of my children has a bit of a problem with the sex scenes because when she reads the stuff, she hears my voice in her head, and apparently reading a sex scene written by your mother with her describing it is rather off-putting! Picture Quote #1

In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together, well yeah, there’s definitely going to be a little bit of the author in that. But there’s nothing wrong with that Picture Quote #1

Some liberals think that describing any role that education gaps play in creating income inequality is some sort of sellout - that, in essence, you’re telling the middle class, ‘Tough luck; you should have stayed in college.’ Picture Quote #1

Last night, it was so cold, the flashers in New York were only describing themselves Picture Quote #1

Much more than an entertaining set of exaggerated facts, fiction is a metaphoric method of describing, dramatizing and condensing historical events, personal actions, psychological states and the symbolic knowledge encoded within the collective unconscious; things, events and conditions that are otherwise too diffuse and/or complex to be completely digested or appreciated by the prevailing culture Picture Quote #1
