Approximately Quotes (page 2)

Human knowledge is not (or does not follow) a straight line, but a curve, which endlessly approximates a series of circles, a spiral. Any fragment, segment, section of this curve can be transformed (transformed one-sidedly) into an independent, complete, straight line, which then (if one does not see the wood for the trees) leads into the quagmire, into clerical obscurantism (where it is anchored by the class interests of the ruling classes). Vladimir Lenin

Gian Carlo Menotti quote: "A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the..."

When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of 'being there,' any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play. Gary Gygax
I foresee online gaming changing when there are good audio-visual links connecting the participants, thus approximating play in a face-to-face group. Gary Gygax
According to the study, approximately 16.7 million U.S. workers born in Latin America had a combined gross income of $450 billion last year, of which 93 percent was spent locally. Luis Gutierrez
The spirals of the helix should be as nearly approximated as possible, as each aids by its heat that of its neighbour, or rather diminishes the cooling effect of the gaseous atmosphere. William Robert Grove
Theodore Gericault quote: "Is it not dangerous to have students study together for years,..."
Is it not dangerous to have students study together for years, copying the same models and approximately the same path? Theodore Gericault
In the United States women develop MS at approximately twice the rate men do, and no one can explain why women are affected most often from the waist down. Annette Funicello
