Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.
If that enabled us to predict the succeeding situation with the same approximation, that is all we require, and we should say that the phenomenon had been predicted, that it is governed by the laws.
I think dating apps are keeping us apart.
Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn't do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
The Arab League tells us to go in and take out Qaddafi. We've spent billions of dollars already with respect to the Arab League. Billions of dollars, because they told us to do it. Why aren't they paying for it? They don't like Qaddafi, Qaddafi's been a terrible thorn in their side.
The essential and living elements in our architectural activities stem from what was implanted in us during Old Saturn evolution.
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
Whatever good things we build end up building us.
Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
For humans, the Arctic is a harshly inhospitable place, but the conditions there are precisely what polar bears require to survive - and thrive. 'Harsh' to us is 'home' for them. Take away the ice and snow, increase the temperature by even a little, and the realm that makes their lives possible literally melts away.
China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it's not an 'us versus them,' it's an 'us and them' type scenario.
Questions have arisen about the policing of science. Who is responsible for the policing? My answer is: all of us.
A state arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.
There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.
A vision of truth which does not call upon us to get out of our armchair - why, this is the desideratum of mankind.
The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.
The first 'Half-Life' movie treatment pitched to us climaxed with a tearful reunion between enslaved Vortigaunts and their Vortiwives and children. The last one I saw had Black Mesa invaded by a cavalry unit, just so as to feature a scene of bullsquids tearing into armored horses.
Each individual fact, taken by itself, can indeed arouse our curiosity or our astonishment, or be useful to us in its practical applications.
