“You don't need to do that with [radio waves]. The beam divergence is sufficiently large that if you point the antenna at about the right place, and if you're within half a degree, you're usually in great shape.”
David Smith
“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road / the one less traveled by / offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.”
Rachel Carson
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
“I got the idea that we could extend the analysis into a third dimension, ecological divergence.”
Daniel Funk
“What the report does highlight is national divergence that we're now seeing across regions, where we see that all the jobs created were in Alberta and British Columbia, whereas central Canada continues to trail behind.”
Stefane Marion
“Is man what he seems to the astronomer, a tiny lump of impure carbon and water impotently crawling on a small and unimportant planet? Or is he what he seem to Hamlet? Or is he both at once?”
Bertrand Russell
“Historically rates are at very low levels, and have significantly diverged from their normal level.”
