“The whole is more than the sum of its parts.”
Aristotle
“Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.”
Henry David Thoreau
“I suppose once in a while, a filmmaker makes a movie that's more than just a sum of its parts, more than good acting or good filmmaking. It's something else that has nothing to do with what you've done. This is in 1999, made by people in 1999 for people in 1999 about people in 1999.”
Sam Mendes
“The whole is simpler than the sum of its parts”
Willard Gibbs
“Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.”
Wayne Dyer
“Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.”
Cesare Pavese
“When you consider the sum total of the negative attitude toward my government, it makes a lot of sense for me to exit the scene if Liberia is to live.”
Charles Taylor
