“The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.”
John von Neumann
“Our approach is lightweight, and models do not get obsolete. You can update the model mechanically.”
Neeraj Sangal
“People have used models to study permafrost before, but not within a fully interactive climate system model.”
David Lawrence
“We must become the change we want to see.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“A designer who is not also a couturier, who hasn't learned the most refined mysteries of physically creating his models, is like a sculptor who gives his drawings to another man, an artisan, to accomplish.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“We do not imitate, but are a model to others”
Pericles
“I am not a role model.”
