Striking Quotes

I was in a very deep state of shock after that. I had raised my horse since he was six months old and he was more like a child to me, so I took it very hard. They never caught who did it and the stable did a great job of covering facts up so it couldn’t be proved that it was the direct result of the article, but the coincidence was striking Picture Quote #1

Every computer divides itself into its hardware and its software, the machine host to its algorithm, the human being to his mind. It is hardly surprising that men and women have done what computers now do long before computers could do anything at all. The dissociation between mind and matter in men and machines is very striking; it suggests that almost any stable and reliable organization of material objects can execute an algorithm and so come to command some form of intelligence Picture Quote #1

When you ask people what it is like being part of a great team, what is most striking is the meaningfulness of the experience. People talk about being part of something larger than themselves, of being connected, of being generative. It becomes quite clear that, for many, their experiences as part of truly great teams stand out as singular periods of life lived to the fullest Picture Quote #1

In our civilization, there are permanent forms which are part of every epoch and every culture. They are not especially difficult to detect. A minimal knowledge of physics, astrophysics, and perhaps mathematics, brings to light certain patterns that make these subjects easier to understand. It is striking to see the extreme similarity between these scientific propositions and the forms that recur in all times, places and civilizations Picture Quote #1

One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives Picture Quote #1

What if someone hurts you with a weapon? Wait. Think it over. You probably feel angry. That’s normal. But wasn’t it the stick striking your body that hurt you? Can you be angry at the stick? Of course not. Should you be angry at the wielder of the stick? Wouldn’t it make more sense to be angry at the hatred in the mind of the stick wielder? If you think about it, isn’t the end of hatred in the world what you want most of all? Why, then, would you add to it by giving energy to your anger? After all, it will pass on its own if left alone, especially if you respond to it with compassion Picture Quote #1

It is true that water will flow indifferently to east and west, but will it flow equally well up and down? Human nature is disposed toward goodness, just as water tends to flow downwards. There is no water but flows downwards, and no man but shows his tendency to be good. Now, by striking water hard, you may splash it higher than your forehead, and by damming it, you may make it go uphill. But, is that the nature of water? It is external force that causes it to do so. Likewise, if a man is made to do what is not good, his nature is being similarly forced Picture Quote #1

God has so arranged the chronometry of our spirits, that there shall be thousands of silent moments between the striking hours Picture Quote #1

Although we know nothing of what an atom is, yet we cannot resist forming some idea of a small particle, which represents it to the mind... there is an immensity of facts which justify us in believing that the atoms of matter are in some way endowed or associated with electrical powers, to which they owe their most striking qualities, and amongst them their mutual chemical affinity Picture Quote #1

Everyone assumes writers spend their time lounging around, writing and occasionally striking a pose whilst having a think Picture Quote #1

I think striking the right tone for your story is, if you like, the alchemical work of writing Picture Quote #1

I believe you should tell the story of injustices, of inequalities, of bad conditions, so that the people as a whole in this country really face the problems that people who are pushed to the point of striking know all about, but others know practically nothing about Picture Quote #1

Obama’s style of argumentation is unlike any president I have ever met, and I’ve met a lot of them. And the condescension that oozes from him when he’s talking about his opponents, it’s really striking Picture Quote #1

One reproduces only that which is striking; that is to say, the necessary. Thus, one’s recollections and inventions are liberated from the tyranny which nature exerts Picture Quote #1

Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors... for their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance Picture Quote #1

Apparently one impression we are making... is that creativeness consists of lightning striking you on the head in one great glorious moment Picture Quote #1

A modeled form is less striking than one which is not. Modeling prevents shock and limits movement to the visual depth. Without modeling or chiaroscuro depth is limitless: movement can stretch to infinity Picture Quote #1

When I need some striking inspiration about deep depression for my new painting, I just need to go to check my bank account Picture Quote #1

I sat day after day in my little room, waiting for inspiration to visit me, trying to invent a pseudonym that would express, in a combination of noble and striking sounds, our dream of artistic achievement, a pen name grand enough to compensate for my own feeling of insecurity and helplessness at the idea of everything my mother expected from me Picture Quote #1

A plain narrative of any remarkable fact, emphatically related, has a more striking effect without the author’s comment Picture Quote #1

It is quite impossible to understand the character of a person from one action, however striking that action may be Picture Quote #1

I started with poetry because it was direct, immediate, and short. It was the ecstasy of striking matches in the dark Picture Quote #1

There is not the least wit in my nature. I am a very matter of fact, plain spoken being, and may blunder on the borders of a repartee for half an hour together without striking it out Picture Quote #1

Corporate men and women, once divided by striking differences in opportunity for career growth, have come to share career chaos Picture Quote #1

Voroshilov was a striking figure, with a great deal of influence among the workers, so that the degree of influence of the committee on the workers and its success as regards recruitment depended primarily on him Picture Quote #1

I hate striking out, doesn’t matter what time of the game. I just don’t like striking out Picture Quote #1

Whenever I see a photograph of some sportsman grinning over his kill, I am always impressed by the striking moral and esthetic superiority of the dead animal to the live one Picture Quote #1

The clock of communism has stopped striking. But its concrete building has not yet come crashing down. For that reason, instead of freeing ourselves, we must try to save ourselves from being crushed by its rubble Picture Quote #1

$Without denying the value of scientific endeavor, there is a striking absurdity in committing billions to reach the moon where no people live, while only a fraction of that amount is appropriated to service the densely populated slums Picture Quote #1$

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking Picture Quote #1
