The New Gods really need to be larger than life. There's an operatic quality to them, and they need to be handled pretty carefully, or else you'll go too far and be almost like a caricature.

Cliff Chiang

Gazzy sniffed the air. "That's explosives. It smells like Christmas!" Okay, so we've had somewhat untraditional Christmases. With explosives.

James Patterson

In any piece of rhetorical discourse, one rhetorical term overcomes another rhetorical term only by being nearer to the term which stands ultimate. There is some ground for calling a rhetorical education necessarily aristocratic education in that the rhetorician has to deal with an aristocracy of notions.

Richard M. Weaver

My advice is to treat [credit cards] like what they are: little plastic grenades that must be handled very carefully.

Elizabeth Warren

I do like the thrill of risk-taking, but it's always carefully calculated. I have done many high risk undertakings, but I have always measured the stakes. Not feeding the fear nor the doubt. But I also believe that you need to fuel passion in whatever you do. This is what I am trying to teach my children today.

Guy Laliberte

It makes no sense to seek a single best way to represent knowledge-because each particular form of expression also brings its particular limitations. For example, logic-based systems are very precise, but they make it hard to do reasoning with analogies. Similarly, statistical systems are useful for making predictions, but do not serve well to represent the reasons why those predictions are sometimes correct.

Marvin Minsky

A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories.

Stefan Banach

One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies.

Stefan Banach

I find that life is easier when it is just a blur With no details to confuse who or what or where I was So when the ending comes the full regret will be obscure

Conor Oberst

I don't like to feel like I'm some fragile package that has to be shipped by high-priority mail and handled with white gloves.

Taylor Swift

Good mathematicians see analogies. Great mathematicians see analogies between analogies.

Stefan Banach

Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high.

Richard G. Scott

I also packed explosives." -Liz

Ally Carter

Mathematics is the study of analogies between analogies. All science is. Scientists want to show that things that don't look alike are really the same. That is one of their innermost Freudian motivations. In fact, that is what we mean by understanding.

Gian-Carlo Rota

The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Mentorship is an incredibly huge responsibility. And you need to choose your mentors carefully, just like mentors choose their apprentices carefully. There has to be trust there, on a very deep level.
