Quantify Quotes

J. G. Ballard quote: "After Freud's exploration within the psyche it is now the..."
After Freud's exploration within the psyche it is now the outer world of reality which must be quantified and eroticised J. G. Ballard
The belief that rational and quantifiable disciplines such as science can be used to perfect human society is no less absurd than a belief in magic, angels, and divine intervention. Chris Hedges
... love was not a quantifiable substance. There was always more of it somewhere, and even after one love had been lost, it was by no means impossible to find another. Paul Auster
I was always attracted not by some quantifiable, external beauty, but by something deep down, something absolute. Just as some people have a secret love for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts, I liked that certain undefinable something directed my way by members of the opposite sex. For want of a better word, call it magnetism. Like it or not, it’s a kind of power that snares people and reels them in. Haruki Murakami
Science is the ultimate pornography, analytic activity whose main aim is to isolate objects or events from their contexts in time and space. This obsession with the specific activity of quantified functions is what science shares with pornography. J. G. Ballard
A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone. Go back to school, little Starling. Thomas Harris
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition. Emily Giffin
Chronological time is what we measure by clocks and calendars; it is always linear, orderly, quantifiable, and mechanical. Kairotic time is organic, rhythmic, bodily, leisurely, and aperiodic; it is the inner cadence that brings fruit to ripeness, a woman to childbirth, a man to change the direction of his life. Sam Keen
Deepak Chopra quote: "Time is just quantified eternity."
Time is just quantified eternity. Deepak Chopra
Emily Giffin quote: "You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up..."
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors. Emily Giffin
I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors. Emily Giffin
I worked in sales. It was definable, it had a quantifiable approach to accomplishment that had a great deal of importance to me. It had a degree of clarity that I loved. And of course, it was core. Anne M. Mulcahy
We should not forget, no matter how we quantify it: 'Freedom is not free.' It is a painful lesson, but one from which we have learned in the past and one we should never forget. Paul Gillmor
What is news? It's hard to quantify. Certainly news has changed completely, and the morning shows are not really designed to bring you the news, except to tell you what happened overnight, and the rest of it is a kind of magazine mentality - a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It's harder to be an educated and informed citizen. Harrison Ford

It's unfortunate that sometimes in schools, there's this need to have things quantified and graded. Rita Dove
