Studies Quotes (page 33)

When you study history and look at every civilization that has grown up and died off, they all leave one remnant: a major sports colosseum at the heart of their capital. Our fate can be different; but only if we start doing things differently. Thomas Friedman
A map was a fine thing to study when you were disposed to think of something else, being made up of names that would turn into a chime if you went back upon them. George Eliot
Jacques Barzun quote: "no subject of study is more important than reading…all other..."
no subject of study is more important than reading…all other intellectual powers depend on it. Jacques Barzun
Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines. R. Buckminster Fuller
Henry David Thoreau quote: "What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be..."
What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau quote: "It's too late to be studying Hebrew; it's more important to..."
It's too late to be studying Hebrew; it's more important to understand even the slang of today. Henry David Thoreau
No matter how intently one studies the hundred little dramas of the woods and meadows, one can never learn all the salient facts about any one of them. Aldo Leopold
One of the regrets of my life is that I did not study Latin. I'm absolutely convinced, the more I understand these eighteenth century people, that it was that grounding in Greek and Latin that gave them their sense of the classic virtues: the classic ideals of honor, virtue, the good society, and their historic examples of what they could try to live up to. David McCullough
..I find it incredible impossible not to cry when I hear Stevie Nicks's "Landslide," especially the lyric: "I've been afraid of changing, because I've built my life around you." I think a good test to see if a human is actually a robot/android/cylon is to have them listen to this song lyric and study their reaction. If they don't cry, you should stab them through the heart. You will find a fusebox. Mindy Kaling
The Cavaliere has retired to his study and reads, trying not to think about what is going on around him -- one of the principal uses of a book. Susan Sontag
Everything is possible to him who wills only what is true! Rest in Nature, study, know, then dare; dare to will, dare to act and be silent! Eliphas Levi
Of course some of us had some geography in school and had studied maps, but a school map is a terribly uncommunicative thing. Robertson Davies
Once leprosy had gone, and the figure of the leper was no more than a distant memory, these structures still remained. The game of exclusion would be played again, often in these same places, in an oddly similar fashion two or three centuries later. The role of the leper was to be played by the poor and by the vagrant, by prisoners and by the 'alienated', and the sort of salvation at stake for both parties in this game of exclusion is the matter of this study. Michel Foucault
He blinked in the gloom. He was wearing heavy black trousers and a waistcoat over a stiff white shirt. His exoself, having chosen an obsession which would have been meaningless in a world of advanced computers, had dressed him for the part of a Victorian naturalist. The drawers, he knew, were full of beetles. Hundreds of thousands of beetles. He was free, now, to do nothing with his time but study them, sketch them, annotate them, classify them: specimen by specimen, species by species,... Greg Egan
With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have. H. P. Lovecraft
