Neither evolution nor creation qualifies as a scientific theory Picture Quote #1

When I was in film school, I was learning more theory than practice Picture Quote #1

Jesus is God is the unified field theory of Christianity Picture Quote #1

Ahimsa in theory no one knows. It is as indefinable as God Picture Quote #1

Capitalism sounds good in theory but it just doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

There is much unexplained in the world. It behoves one to be wary at all times. Just when you think you've got the hang of it, along comes string theory, collateralised debt obligations or Björk's new album, and bam! You're as confused as you were when you first started Picture Quote #1

My general theory since 1971 has been that the word is literally a virus, and that it has not been recognized as such because it has achieved a state of relatively stable symbiosis with its human host Picture Quote #1

The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend Picture Quote #1

While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact Picture Quote #1

In a life, or a portion of a life illuminated, there's a fullness and a balance that no theory or abstraction can match. Why do people waste so much time on abstraction? The life that is given to us, that we play out, is something that you cannot any more grasp with systems and ideas than you can tame an elephant with tweezers Picture Quote #1

I complain a lot. That's one way of coping. But I'm in a profession where nobody tells you to quit. No board of other partners tells you it's time to get your gold watch, and no physical claim is made on you like an athlete or an actress. So I try to plug along on the theory that I can still do it. I still keep trying to produce prose, and some poetry, in the hope that I can find something to say about being alive, this country, but generally the human condition Picture Quote #1

We are brigand philosophers our hearts are high and cheery, for we know our robbery rests upon a sound economic theory! Picture Quote #1

At the present day the crude theory of the sexual impulse held on one side, and the ignorant rejection of theory altogether on the other side, are beginning to be seen as both alike unjustified Picture Quote #1

A consensus has emerged in our scientific community that global warming is no longer merely a theory but a reality, a crisis with truly global implications for planet Earth and all of us who share it Picture Quote #1

My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy Picture Quote #1

It's hard to do that with people who think emotionally. A lot of people think in terms of people, emotions, and feelings. That's more complicated. Engineering mentality makes it, in theory, a little easier Picture Quote #1

The behavior and reactions of the oppressed, which lead the oppressor to practice cultural invasion, should evoke from the revolutionary a different theory of action. What distinguishes revolutionary leaders from the dominant elite is not only their objectives, but their procedures Picture Quote #1

In sum: banking theory and practice, as immobilizing and fixating forces, fail to acknowledge men and women as historical beings; problem-posing theory and practice take the people's historicity as their starting point Picture Quote #1

Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only Picture Quote #1

Didn't believe in the theory that human beings, thinking, loving beings, originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea... Monkeys who eventually swung down from the trees Picture Quote #1

If we find the answer [the unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for we would know the mind of God Picture Quote #1

The Steady State theory was what Karl Popper would call a good scientific theory: it made definite predictions, which could be tested by observation, and possibly falsified. Unfortunately for the theory, they were falsified Picture Quote #1

I don't believe that the ultimate theory will come by steady work along existing lines. We need something new. We can't predict what that will be or when we will find it because if we knew that, we would have found it already! It could come in the next 20 years, but we might never find it Picture Quote #1

If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered Picture Quote #1
