Trying Quotes

The truth is, going against the internal stream of ignorance is way more rebellious than trying to start some sort of cultural revolution Picture Quote #1

Speaking about symmetry, look out our window, and you may see a cardinal attacking its reflection in the window. The cardinal is the only bird we have who often does this. If it has a nest nearby, the cardinal thinks there is another cardinal trying to invade its territory. It never realizes it is attacking its own reflection. Cardinals don’t know much about mirror symmetry! Picture Quote #1

The universe is almost like a huge magic trick and scientists are trying to figure out how it does what it does Picture Quote #1

Testing by itself does not improve software quality. Test results are an indicator of quality, but in and of themselves, they don’t improve it. Trying to improve software quality by increasing the amount of testing is like trying to lose weight by weighing yourself more often. What you eat before you step onto the scale determines how much you will weigh, and the software development techniques you use determine how many errors testing will find. If you want to lose weight, don’t buy a new scale; change your diet. If you want to improve your software, don’t test more; develop better Picture Quote #1

The most important single aspect of software development is to be clear about what you are trying to build Picture Quote #1

Armed with all the powers, enjoying all the wealth they owe to science, our societies are still trying to practice and to teach systems of values already destroyed at the roots by that very science. Man knows at last that he is alone in the indifferent immensity of the universe, whence which he has emerged by chance. His duty, like his fate, is written nowhere Picture Quote #1

Our everyday, traditional ideas of reality are delusions which we spend substantial parts of our daily lives shoring up, even at the considerable risk of trying to force facts to fit our definition of reality instead of vice versa. And the most dangerous delusion of all is that there is only one reality Picture Quote #1

The government can’t create jobs; they’ll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn’t have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy Picture Quote #1

Listening is a rare happening among human beings. You cannot listen to the word another is speaking if you are preoccupied with your appearance, or with impressing the other, or are trying to decide what you are going to say when the other stops talking, or are debating about whether what is being said is true or relevant or agreeable. Such matters have their place, but only after listening to the word as the word is being uttered. Listening is a primitive act of love in which a person gives himself to another’s word, making himself accessible and vulnerable to that word Picture Quote #1

What does it mean when a man falls in love with a radiant face across the room? It may mean that he has some soul work to do. His soul is the issue. Instead of pursuing the woman and trying to get her alone, away from her husband, he needs to go alone himself, perhaps to a mountain cabin, for three months, write poetry, canoe down a river, and dream. That would save some women a lot of trouble Picture Quote #1

We spend our life until we’re twenty deciding what parts of ourself to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again Picture Quote #1

It is my practice to try to understand how valuable something is by trying to imagine myself without it Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a virtuoso then you have to set your sights above me. You have to go beyond what I’m doing. And that’s for you to figure out. Because if you can do that, then I’m going to be trying to go beyond you Picture Quote #1

Hope and faith. You have to have hope and faith... Long ways to go. Grateful to survive. I’s frustrating. Mentally hard. Hard work. I’m trying. Trying so hard to get better. Regain what I’ve lost... I will get stronger. I will return Picture Quote #1

Anybody who tries to change society without examining the family is trying to push a shadow without moving a statue Picture Quote #1

Yes I pay taxes... There are no ethics in the face of coercion, that is blaming the victim. Focus on the man with the gun, not the man in the crosshairs trying to survive Picture Quote #1

The easy bit is picking up a camera and pointing and shooting. But then you have to decide what it is you’re trying to say and express Picture Quote #1

Above all, in order to gain respect, you need to be true to yourself. There is no point in trying to be brutal if it’s not in your nature; there is no point in trying to be suave and sophisticated if it doesn’t come naturally Picture Quote #1

When I’m in the process of making a movie I’m not thinking about the finished result, and whether people have to see it once or more than once, and what the reaction to it will be. I just make it, and then I live with the consequences, some of which may not be as pleasant as I’d like! I know one thing, however. Many viewers may come out of the theater not satisfied, but they won’t be able to forget the movie. I know they’ll be talking about it during their next dinner. I want them to be a little restless about my movies, and keep trying to find something in them Picture Quote #1

I’d say to anyone trying to break into the business: Don’t just be interested in movies. Be interested in life. Be a person. Be in touch Picture Quote #1

I’m not chasing money, so I’m not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number Picture Quote #1

I just came out of the gym from three hours this morning. I got five hours of sleep. That’s it. Every day of my life, I’m trying to find a different way to get better Picture Quote #1

I’m just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters Picture Quote #1

Byrd has always been that kind of pitcher, trying to trick you, keep the ball low, in and out. He threw a lot of strikes, worked it inside and out, threw breaking balls for strikes behind in the count Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I’d sacrifice my body if I have to. I’ve done that my whole career Picture Quote #1

I quit because I can’t stand seeing kids come to class hungry and needing shoes. I thought I could do more by organizing farm workers than by trying to teach their hungry children Picture Quote #1

I remember trying not to disrupt everyone else in the room, fumbling around trying to figure out how to use the medium with a beautiful model disrobed in front of me Picture Quote #1

You have to pick the right tool for the point you’re trying to make and there is no one solution Picture Quote #1

I’d like to say that people... people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. Show me any country... and there’ll be people in it just trying to take their humanity back into the center of the ring... And follow that for a time. Y’know, think on that. Without people you’re nothing Picture Quote #1

And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people its not, but for me its a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if its a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesnt matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not Picture Quote #1
