Theory Quotes

In theory there is nothing to hinder our following what we are taught;but in life there are many things to draw us aside Picture Quote #1

There are two books that I often travel with; one is ‘The Theory on Moral Sentiments’ by Adam Smith. The other is ‘The Meditations.’ It’s not that I agree with either views expressed in the books, but I believe ideas and thoughts of older generations can offer food for thought for the current generation Picture Quote #1

I procrastinate in spades. In my defence, I also try to have all other distractions solved before I can concentrate on writing. My small theory is that to write for three hours, you need to feel like you have three days. To write for three days, you need to feel like you’ve got three weeks, and so on Picture Quote #1

In 1938, Louise Rosenblatt introduced reader response theory or the transactional view of reading. She asserted that what the reader brings to the reading act - his or her world of experiences, personality, and current frame of mind - is just as important in interpreting the text as what the author writes. According to this view, reading is a fusion of text and reader Picture Quote #1

The main importance of Francis Bacon’s influence does not lie in any peculiar theory of inductive reasoning which he happened to express, but in the revolt against second-hand information of which he was a leader Picture Quote #1

Theories, for me, are just about freeing your mind. It doesn’t mean the theory is going to work like a scientific theory works. It’s about freeing your mind and making you think a different way Picture Quote #1

Freud was a hero. He descended to the Underworld and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusa’s head which turned these terrors to stone Picture Quote #1

The problem of psychoanalysis is not the body of theory that Freud left behind, but the fact that it never became a medical science. It never tried to test its ideas Picture Quote #1

Ego, id, and superego are terms familiar to all, but for many years, Freud’s psychoanalytic theory has thrived in English departments around the country as a tool for interpreting literary texts but has rarely, if ever, been discussed in science departments Picture Quote #1

It has actually become very necessary in our time to rebut the theory that every firm and serious friendship is really homosexual Picture Quote #1

What is especially striking and remarkable is that in fundamental physics a beautiful or elegant theory is more likely to be right than a theory that is inelegant Picture Quote #1

I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don’t feel entitled to success Picture Quote #1

The theory of modern education is that you need a general education before you specialize. And I think to some extent, before you’re going to be a great stock picker, you need some general education Picture Quote #1

Jealousy is a potent emotion, of course, and Facebook, texting, email, fan Web pages... In theory, being someone like George Clooney’s or Halle Berry’s paramour - woo hoo - how great would that be? But wait a minute... er, no, probably kind of a nightmare Picture Quote #1

The idea of stopping is not unmeaningful to me. I think there might be a time when, in theory at least, you’d say, ‘Well I’ve mostly done what I want to do.’ But how could you ever prevent a few years down the line some germ of an idea getting at you and you’ve got to do it again? Picture Quote #1

It’s a gamble you take, the risk of alienating an audience. But there’s a theory - sometimes it’s better to confuse them for five minutes than let them get ahead of you for 10 seconds Picture Quote #1

I have a theory that if you’re famous more years than you’re not famous, then you get a little nutty Picture Quote #1

Everybody was being decent, and when people are decent, thing work out for everybody. That has been my theory all through life. If you’re making money, let the other fellow make it too. If somebody’s getting hurt, it’s bad, but if you can work a thing out so that everybody profits that’s the ideal business Picture Quote #1

People talk about getting lucky breaks in their careers. I’m living proof that the ‘lucky breaks’ theory is simply wrong. You get to make your own luck. ... The world is run by those who show up...not those who wait to be asked Picture Quote #1

Look at the size of the universe and look at what we’re discovering about string theory. There’s a wide-eyed sense of we’re just getting started here Picture Quote #1

I believe the only limitations are the ones that we accept. I know that there is, in theory, a glass ceiling. But I don’t believe that it’s a solid wall. I’m going through it. Nothing’s stopping me. Yes, there are these preconceived notions; yes, we have challenges. Let’s accept them, let’s not be afraid of them, let’s break through them Picture Quote #1

I’m developing a physiological theory of growth and oxygen requirement. If it’s well-understood how fish require oxygen to grow, then we can understand how to deal with the impact of global warming Picture Quote #1

Global warming, like Marxism, is a political theory of actions, demanding compliance with its rules Picture Quote #1

I believe in God, not as a theory but as a fact more real than life itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with a bank being big. In fact, there are some good arguments about universality of geography that in theory, if you have all your eggs in one little community, and some big employer goes out, that could be your downfall Picture Quote #1

Our theory is, if you need the user to tell you what you’re selling, then you don’t know what you’re selling, and it’s probably not going to be a good experience Picture Quote #1

Tailoring the facts to fit one’s theory constitutes neither good science nor good journalism. Rather, it is intellectually dishonest and, when published for consumption by a mass audience, adds up to propaganda Picture Quote #1

I was a boarding school product from the age of eight, and I hated it. Though I do have a theory that boarding school is good training for writers because it’s so desperately lacking in privacy: you make space for yourself by having an interior life Picture Quote #1

The intersection of political analysis and Internet theory is a busy crossroad of cliche, where familiar rhetorical vehicles - decentralized authority, emergent leadership, empowered grass roots - create a ceaseless buzz Picture Quote #1

It is thus hardly surprising that so many of the great minds in recent history have concerned themselves with economic matters. Indeed, they have come to regard economic theory in precisely the same way the ancient philosophers viewed the heavens - as the key to understanding and controlling our fate Picture Quote #1
