Donald Hebb Quotes By Thomas Keating

Becoming fully rational is not enough anymore; evidently it can lead to distortions of all the great human possibilities. — Thomas Keating

Donald Hebb Quotes By Carla Gugino

I feel that's the richest gift that's ever been given to me: I get to do what I love. And it's a really brutal business, and no matter how successful you are you hear "No" more than "Yes." — Carla Gugino

Donald Hebb Quotes By Tehmina Durrani

Love's absence ailed me. I could not imagine loving my husband. He was a superior and I did not know how to love and be subservient together. Nor had he ever thought of me as a human being, let alone a woman. For no reason had he ever softened towards me, I had stirred him that little. — Tehmina Durrani

Donald Hebb Quotes By Gerald Edelman

Hayek made a quite fruitful suggestion, made contemporaneously by the psychologist Donald Hebb, that whatever kind of encounter the sensory system has with the world, a corresponding event between a particular cell in the brain and some other cell carrying the information from the outside word must result in reinforcement of the connection between those cells. These day, this is known as a Hebbian synapse, but von Hayek quite independently came upon the idea. I think the essence of his analysis still remains with us . — Gerald Edelman

Donald Hebb Quotes By Nicholas Lemann

In the current environment, attributing low student performance to teacher tenure is one of the great unproven causal links out there. The relationship just hasn't been examined very carefully, but we should all recognize that in higher education the strongest institutions generally have the most robust tenure systems, and in elementary and secondary, the states with the strongest teacher unions (and tenure systems) tend to have the highest student performance. — Nicholas Lemann

A large brain, like large government, may not be able to do simple things in a simple way. — Donald O. Hebb

Donald Hebb Quotes By Donald O. Hebb

Donald Hebb Quotes By Arthur Schopenhauer

The past and the future (considered apart from the consequences of their content) are empty as a dream, and the present is only the indivisible and unenduring boundary between them. — Arthur Schopenhauer

I feel like if you feel good about a script, and you feel confident about your ability to direct and just capture it right, it's all just, really, really in your favor there. — Lisa Cholodenko

Donald Hebb Quotes By Adam Gallari

He's often wished that he could capture the full essence of each woman's laugh on canvas, but he settles instead, on watching how, when a woman chuckles, her head moves slightly to the left or right so that the light grazes it at a new angle and creates a new pattern of highlight and shadow. It's this subtle shifting that he finds astounding - how everything and nothing can be written on a face through its lines, through the way skin around the eyes crinkle or how the shifting of a mouth belies joy or sarcasm or simple placation. He wonders what Vermeer might have said to that girl with the pearl earring, what words could have stirred in her that wanton expression, because even amateurs understand that faces allow an entry point and that negative space is the key to any good painting: what isn't included is sometimes more important than what is. — Adam Gallari

Donald Hebb Quotes By Jennifer Hudson

Dreams do come true. If anyone's proof of that, it's me. — Jennifer Hudson

Donald Hebb Quotes By Carew Papritz

Donald Hebb Quotes By Kevin Wilson

Buster sat on the curb in front of the college, waiting for his sister to pick him up. To pass the time, he skimmed the stories of the creative writing students. One was about a wild party and the story consisted almost entirely of a detailed explanation of a drinking game called Flip 'N Chug that seemed, to Buster, to be too complicated to facilitate the simple goal of getting drunk. — Kevin Wilson

Donald Hebb Quotes By Donald O. Hebb

Why do we not accept ESP as a psychological fact? Rhine has offered enough evidence to have convinced us on almost any other issue ... Personally, I do not accept ESP for a moment, because it does not make sense. My external criteria, both of physics and of physiology, say that ESP is not a fact despite the behavioral evidence that has been reported. I cannot see what other basis my colleagues have for rejecting it ... Rhine may still turn out to be right, improbable as I think that is, and my own rejection of his view is - in the literal sense - prejudice. — Donald O. Hebb
