Device Quotes

These days, when people are alone, or feel a moment of boredom, they tend to reach for a device. In a movie theater, at a stop sign, at the checkout line at a supermarket and, yes, at a memorial service, reaching for a device becomes so natural that we start to forget that there is a reason, a good reason, to sit still with our thoughts: It does honor to what we are thinking about. It does honor to ourselves Picture Quote #1

Nature gave us pain as a messaging device to tell us that we are approaching, or that we have exceeded, our limits in some way Picture Quote #1

If a government resorts to inflation, that is, creates money in order to cover its budget deficits or expands credit in order to stimulate business, then no power on earth, no gimmick, device, trick or even indexation can prevent its economic consequences Picture Quote #1

Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well Picture Quote #1

To me, presentations are the most powerful device. You can’t really name a movement that didn’t start with the spoken word Picture Quote #1

One training device is the ergometer. I never owned one, never trained on one, and practically never used one. The few national team tests I took on ergs were dismal failures, which worked wonders to further my dislike of these beastly creatures. Boring. Tedious. Noisy. Ergs have greatly cheapened rowing. Graceless. Greasy. Grim. The erg is to rowing what having sex by yourself is to having sex. Stop it! Picture Quote #1

I don’t even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get Picture Quote #1

It’s become impossible to enjoy most quality television shows because the hurt or endangered women device is so frequently used Picture Quote #1

I think most people in the developed world would admit to carrying some sort of handheld device, whether it’s a laptop or a cell phone, at all times Picture Quote #1

I had an extremely boring time doing 20 to 30 trades a day while everyone was talking about baseball or basketball. So I stood there fantasizing about a device that could do the same thing I was doing Picture Quote #1

Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, a television, a computer, or a smart phone is just a device through which one can access content. The content itself is what matters, not the device Picture Quote #1

Studying doesn’t have to happen in a silo. It can be a social experience. You can engage with your friends and family to find out the answer to a tough question or have someone explain it to you. You can also study anywhere you happen to be and on any device Picture Quote #1

Right now, 70 percent of the people don’t have computers. And where they’re needed most, people don’t have them. We think this will enable anyone to own a computer. We’re aiming at everybody who uses a computer as an information access device. The original idea was to build one cheaply enough to put one on every desk Picture Quote #1

It didn’t bother me in the slightest and I’m someone who’s never done that sort of thing before on stage or screen. It was just a device for her; it wasn’t nudity for nudity’s sake Picture Quote #1

When the old way of seeing was displaced, a hollowness came into architecture. Our buildings show a constant effort to fill that void, to recapture that sense of life which was once to be found in any house or shed. Yet the sense of place is not to be recovered through any attitude, device, or style, but through the principles of pattern, spirit, and context Picture Quote #1

How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don’t think it’s so hard, but that’s my opinion, and I’ve written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn’t look for a magic bullet. You mustn’t look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use Picture Quote #1

Comedy is a wonderful device for distance that allows us to look at what we’re talking about with some degree of distance and hopefully with a bit more perspective and honesty. With many exceptions, a movie with no jokes is far less appealing to me Picture Quote #1

It’s kind of a miracle to think that a device in your pocket can play pretty much any song that the world has ever created Picture Quote #1

The state has typically been a device for producing affluence for a few at the expense of many Picture Quote #1

Adults acting like children and children acting like adults is generally a pretty reliable comic device Picture Quote #1

I have a foolproof device for judging whether a picture is good or bad. If my fanny squirms, it’s bad. If my fanny doesn’t squirm, it’s good Picture Quote #1
