Black Boxes Quotes

Now I began to understand art as a kind of black box the reader enters. He enters in one state of mind and exits in another. The writer gets no points just because what's inside the box bears some linear resemblance to "real life" -- he can put whatever he wants in there. What's important is that something undeniable and nontrivial happens to the reader between entry and exit. George Saunders
Michael Behe quote: "We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to..."
We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box. Michael Behe
Shirley Jackson quote: "Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the..."
Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. Shirley Jackson
Look, it's a monster. He's walking alone. Look, he's pulling something out of his pocket. He threw it on the ground. Let's go see what it is. It's a black box. You open it... ok... Look, it's sorrow, misery and pain. It's loneliness and longing. Boy, he'll be sorry he lost these. Henry Rollins
George Carlin quote: "If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a..."
If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn’t the whole airplane made out of that stuff? George Carlin
It was Miss Murdstone who was arrived, and a gloomy-looking lady she was...She brought with her, two uncompromising hard black boxes, with her initials on the lids in hard brass nails. When she paid the coachman she took her money out of a hard steel purse, and she kept the purse in a very jail of a bag which hung upon her arm by a heavy chain, and shut up like a bite. I had never, at that time, seen such a metallic lady altogether as Miss Murdstone was. Charles Dickens
Steven Wright quote: "Why don't they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff."
Why don't they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff. Steven Wright
Oh, I will always be honest with my music. The records are black boxes for me. Like if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write. Katy Perry
Any effects created before 1975 were done with either tape or echo chambers or some kind of acoustic treatment. No magic black boxes! Alan Parsons
Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened, and our view of the world is again being shaken. Michael Behe
In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred. Michael Behe
Muhammad Ali quote: "Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each..."
Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up. Muhammad Ali
I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next day had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue. Sylvia Plath
A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They're up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films. Tyrese Gibson
Stephen Carter quote: "To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a..."
To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box. On the box is a label, not of my own choosing. Stephen Carter
