Engineer Quotes

Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection Picture Quote #1

I started out in engineering. I was a geophysical engineer. Throughout the course of my life I've done a lot of strange jobs, and the effect has been to make me think a little more skeptically about our capitalist society Picture Quote #1

When we are sick, we want an uncommon doctor; when we have a construction job to do, we want an uncommon engineer, and when we are at war, we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man Picture Quote #1

If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators Picture Quote #1

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers. He cannot, like the architects, cover his failures with trees and vines. He cannot, like the politicians, screen his sort-comings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget. The engineer simply cannot deny he did it. If his works do not work, he is damned Picture Quote #1

When we get sick, we want an uncommon doctor. If we have a construction job, we want an uncommon engineer. When we get into a war, we dreadfully want an uncommon admiral and an uncommon general. Only when we get into politics are we content with the common man Picture Quote #1

Men are what their mothers made them. You may as well ask a loom which weaves huckabuck why it does not make cashmere as to expect poetry from this engineer or a chemical discovery from that jobber Picture Quote #1

I've always disliked words like inspiration. Writing is probably like a scientist thinking about some scientific problem, or an engineer about an engineering problem Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as an engineer, not as a visionary or 'big thinker.' I don't have any lofty goals Picture Quote #1

Hey, I'm a good software engineer, but I'm not exactly known for my fashion sense. White socks and sandals don't translate to 'good design sense' Picture Quote #1

Orchids were not made by an ideal engineer; they are jury-rigged from a limited set of available components Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid and I bought a record, I ripped that thing open, I wanted to know who was playing what, what studio it was cut at, who was the string arranger, who was the engineer Picture Quote #1

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits, which I saw a as kind of frivolous Picture Quote #1

To an engineer, good enough means perfect. With an artist, there’s no such thing as perfect Picture Quote #1

I’m an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools Picture Quote #1

Having a mother who had been an aeronautical engineer convinced me that more things should be open to women Picture Quote #1

People have an idea that one is in control of a career, a lot more than you really are. You can engineer things to an extent. But you are at the mercy of what comes in across the desk Picture Quote #1

My father, a mining engineer and colliery manager, gave his brood many advantages not least of which, for me, was his love of singing which gave music a central place in our lives Picture Quote #1

Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer Picture Quote #1

I got out of high school, bought a recording studio and started operating it as an engineer and a producer Picture Quote #1

My mother was a housewife but she was also an artist. My father was an electrical engineer Picture Quote #1

I could have gone on to be an engineer full time, except that there was more demand for my playing. But the love of working the board never leaves you Picture Quote #1

Every time I went into the studio some engineer tried to impress me with how they’re going to capture my sound with all kinds of tricks. But they limited the sound and never allowed me to play how I felt Picture Quote #1

My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane Picture Quote #1

Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they’re going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that’s better living through bugs Picture Quote #1

At the same time, one of the things I noticed was that the moment there was any kind of audio attached to virtual reality, it really improved the experience, even though the audio didn’t feel like a sound engineer or composer had been anywhere near it Picture Quote #1

I didn’t write because in the corps I took mining engineering of all things and, you know, they, they graduate a mining engineer as a sort of an illiterate Picture Quote #1

I am an engineer, but what I find important and necessary is that you just learn things as you go along Picture Quote #1
