(1827 quotes found)
“Almost all of our relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods.”
W. H. Auden
“Man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as seriously as physics, chemistry or money”
Ernst Levy
“If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.”
Niels Bohr
“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states.”
Carol Welch
“Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement.”
Charles Bukowski
“If in physics there's something you don't understand, you can always hide behind the uncharted depths of nature. You can always blame God. You didn't make it so complex yourself. But if your program doesn't work, there is no one to hide behind. You cannot hide behind an obstinate nature. If it doesn't work, you've messed up.”
Edsger Dijkstra
“PROJECTILE, n. The final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants, with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could supply --the sword, the spear, and so forth. With the growth of prudence in military affairs the projectile came more and more into favor, and is now held in high esteem by the most courageous. Its capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of propulsion.”
Ambrose Bierce
“There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Hollywood, as everyone knows, glamorizes physical courage. . . . if I had to define courage myself, I wouldn't say it's about shooting people. I'd say it's the quality that stimulates people, that enables them to move ahead and look beyond themselves.”
Clint Eastwood
“Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.”
Bobby Knight
