Top Fingerprint Quotes

Fingerprint Quotes By Karin Slaughter

I found this." He put the briefcase on the table and opened the locks. She saw a stack of papers, an evidence bag with a red seal. He pulled a college notebook with a blue plastic cover from one of the pockets. Black fingerprint powder spotted the cover. "I tried to clean it up," he said, wiping the grime on the front of his sweater. "I'm sorry. It was in Allison's car and I..." He flipped through the pages, showing her the scrawled handwriting. "I can't," he said. "I just can't."
She realized that Will hadn't looked at her once since walking into the room. He had such an air of defeat about him, as if every word that came from his mouth caused him pain. — Karin Slaughter

Fingerprint Quotes By Dorothy Adamek

I, Finella Mayfield, promise to look for and collect God's fingerprint in a strange land chosen for me by my father. — Dorothy Adamek

Fingerprint Quotes By Kenneth Eade

He didn't have regular email like everyone else. He couldn't afford that digital fingerprint that the NSA, the CIA, the FBI and all the other espionage alphabeticals counted on for their privacy-bashing surveillance of the entire formerly free world. — Kenneth Eade

Fingerprint Quotes By Robert Liparulo

He loved his job, which allowed time to do it without comparing his performance to others'. He loved the economics of death: hastening a person's passage into the afterlife not only provided him with a good living: it gave work to coroners, beat cops, detectives, crime scene technicians, the people who made fingerprint powder and luminal and other sundry chemicals and devices - not to mention firearm, ammunition, coffin, and tissue manufacturers - obituary writers, crime reporters, novelists. — Robert Liparulo

Fingerprint Quotes By Emo Philips

I don't really hang out with people. I like to be by myself. In fact, I've been arrested a few times because I like to walk around at two or three in the morning, looking at shop windows. The cops take me to the station and fingerprint me. But I wouldn't call that hanging out. — Emo Philips

Fingerprint Quotes By Amber Sparks

Fingerprint, he writes. A map to mark the spaces you've inhabited. A map you make yourself, quadrant by quadrant, inch by inch, until the landscape of your life looks like a vast and unexplored terrain. Here there be monsters, it will say. — Amber Sparks

Fingerprint Quotes By John Piper

The vast majority of abortions are performed between the seventh and tenth week when the baby is already sucking his thumb, recoiling from pricking, responding to sound. All his organs are present, the brain is functioning, the heart is pumping, the liver is making blood cells, the kidneys are cleaning fluids, and there is a fingerprint. His genetic code is uniquely and unquestionably human. And, if we are willing, he can be seen by ultrasound. — John Piper

Fingerprint Quotes By Reif Larsen

I suddenly missed the curious shelving patterns of my room, those old planks from the barn groaning under the weight of the notebooks. Shelving is an intimate thing, like the fingerprint of a room. — Reif Larsen

Fingerprint Quotes By Raymond Pettibon

It's inevitable that everyone's first drawing they draw is much like their fingerprint. It's inescapable that one has an identifiable style. It's not a major issue with me, but I never wanted to have a distinctive signature style so much. — Raymond Pettibon

Fingerprint Quotes By Mark Shields

Drones are sort of the perfect weapon for a country that doesn't want to go to war. It only - there's no fingerprint. There's no direct involvement. There's human beings killed on the other end. You never see them. You don't have to worry about them. You don't have to meet their widows. It's sort of an antiseptic warfare. — Mark Shields

Fingerprint Quotes By Chuck Close

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid. — Chuck Close

Fingerprint Quotes By Rachel Naomi Remen

While an impulse toward wholeness is natural and exists in everyone, each of us heals in our own way. Some people heal because they have work to do. Others heal because they have been released from their work and the pressures and expectations that others place on them. Some people need music, others need silence, some need people around them, others heal alone. Many different things can activate and strengthen the life force in us. For each of us there are conditions of healing that are as unique as a fingerprint. Sometimes people ask me what I do in my sessions with patients. Often I just remind people of the possibility of healing and study their own way of dealing with them. — Rachel Naomi Remen

Fingerprint Quotes By Jerry Spinelli

I had to get out. Move.
I ran through neighborhoods, other lives, other worlds. Solipsism. A man on his lawn mower. Green and yellow. A high-school kid with earphones, washing his car, suds creeping down the driveway. High in the bright blue sky the moon showed like a fading fingerprint. It seemed so weak, so out of place, as if it stumbled into broad daylight by mistake. Unseen protons dying by the billions. — Jerry Spinelli

Fingerprint Quotes By Paul Davies

The mechanism by which quantum mechanics injects an element of chance into the operation of the universe is called "decoherence" (Gell-Mann and Hartle, 1994). Decoherence effectively creates new bits of information, bits which previously did not exist. In other words, quantum mechanics, via decoherence, is constantly injecting new bits of information into the world. Every detail that we see around us, every vein on a leaf, every whorl on a fingerprint, every star in the sky, can be traced back to some bit that quantum mechanics created. Quantum bits program the universe. — Paul Davies

Fingerprint Quotes By Al Franken

Too many people don't protect their smartphones with a password or PIN. I anticipate that Apple's fingerprint reader will in fact make iPhone 5S owners more likely to secure their smartphones. — Al Franken

Fingerprint Quotes By Sheila Johnson

Parris said IAFIS makes fifty thousand fingerprint comparisons a day with a 95 percent accuracy rate. — Sheila Johnson

Fingerprint Quotes By Roy Spencer

We have no idea what's natural and what's man made. [ ... ] There is no fingerprint of human-caused warming. — Roy Spencer

Fingerprint Quotes By Sandra Mara

the FBI can, with the permission of an employer, keep the records of anyone whose background is checked as a condition of employment. If, at some stage in the future, that person is ever arrested or charged with a crime, but not necessarily convicted, the FBI can inform their employer about it. A "big brother" scenario if ever there was one. FingerprintSandra Mara

Fingerprint Quotes By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Oddly, no matter which way I positioned my finer over the little button, it wouldn't read my fingerprintJennifer L. Armentrout

Fingerprint Quotes By Jodi Livon

Love is the fingerprint of the soul. — Jodi Livon

Fingerprint Quotes By Walter J. Phillips

It is remarkable how very individual technique becomes in watercolour. Every man of personality finally arrives at a method peculiarly his own, as unique as his own fingerprint. — Walter J. Phillips

Fingerprint Quotes By Agatha Christie

I am not one to rely upon the expert procedure. It is the psychology I seek, not the fingerprint or the cigarette ash. — Agatha Christie

Fingerprint Quotes By Bethany Hamilton

The way I see it, putting your faith in God is something that each person has gotta come to on his or her own.It's your own personal relationship with Him; a bond that's as unique as a fingerprint. — Bethany Hamilton

Fingerprint Quotes By Craig D. Lounsbrough

Our responses are the fingerprint of our heart and the DNA of our conscience. — Craig D. Lounsbrough

Fingerprint Quotes By Earl A Grollman

Each person's grief journey is unique as a fingerprint or a snowflake. — Earl A Grollman

Fingerprint Quotes By Oprah Winfrey

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. — Oprah Winfrey

Fingerprint Quotes By Erwin Raphael McManus

While religions have historically tried to make us the same, Jesus calls us to be different. If you have ever experienced this, you know your soul bristled at the demand to quietly get in line and conform. But something in your gut told you this was wrong. If there was a God, his value would not be uniformity, but uniqueness. And you were right. Imprinted on your soul is the fingerprint of God. There is something inside you that resists surrendering your soul to legalism. The good news is that all that time it wasn't you fighting against God; you were fighting for what God has created you to become. — Erwin Raphael McManus

Fingerprint Quotes By Mitch Albom

Dor remembered Victor's voice.
And while they deepen with age, voices
are, to one destined to listen for eternity,
as distinct as a fingerprint. Dor knew it
was him the moment Victor spoke in the
shop. — Mitch Albom

Fingerprint Quotes By Ron Perlman

I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them
but they truly define you as a human being ... So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another ... One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint. — Ron Perlman

Fingerprint Quotes By Philip Roth

And since we don't just forget things because they don't matter but also forget things because they matter too much because each of us remembers and forgets in a pattern whose labyrinthine windings are an identification mark no less distinctive than a fingerprint's, it's no wonder that the shards of reality one person will cherish as a biography can seem to someone else who, say, happened to have eaten some ten thousand dinners at the very same kitchen table, to be a willful excursion into mythomania — Philip Roth

Fingerprint Quotes By Stephen King

Little by little, writers develop their own styles, each as unique as a fingerprint. — Stephen King

Fingerprint Quotes By Erri De Luca

I read used books because fingerprint-smudged and dog-eared pages are heavier on the eye. Because every book can belong to many lives. Books should be kept in public places and step out with passersby who'll onto them for a spell. Books should die like people, consumed by aches and pains, infected, drowning off a bridge together with the suicides, poked into a potbellied stove, torn apart by children to make paper boats. They should die of anything, in other words, except boredom, as private property condemned to a life sentence on a shelf. — Erri De Luca

Fingerprint Quotes By Karen Russell

I look for my sister but it's hopeless. The goggles are all fogged up. Every fish burns lantern-bright, and I can't tell the living from the dead. It's all just blurry light, light smeared like some celestial fingerprint all over the rocks and the reef and the sunken garbage. Olivia could be everywhere. — Karen Russell

Fingerprint Quotes By Adam Baker

But if you fake any trait long enough it becomes an essential part of you, like your fingerprint. So there's no point telling yourself not to be scared. You can't control your thoughts and emotions. But you can control your actions. In the end, we are the sum of what we do. — Adam Baker

Fingerprint Quotes By Erin Hanson

Stories aren't just stories if they've been read through before, for once a cover has been opened they turn into something more. A fingerprint of everyone who's ever turned its pages and a bookmark of the you you were when read at different ages. It's as though with each reread you leave a piece of you behind, a sliver of the past pressed for your future self to find. Until it's no longer the story that makes you pull it from the shelf, but the chance to reunite with younger versions of yourself. — Erin Hanson

Fingerprint Quotes By Shamim Sarif

Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again.
Slow droplets of you seep in through the night's soft caress.
At dawn, I overflow with thoughts of us
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite.
Love cannot be contained, the neat packaging of desire
Splits asunder, spilling crimson through my days.
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning,
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind. — Shamim Sarif

Fingerprint Quotes By Kelly Cutrone

Well, fashion's full of trickery, darling. But if you're going to believe this season's Prada boots will make you sexy and powerful, you should at least be as open to the concept that you have a soul and that that soul has a purpose as unique as your fingerprint and eye scan. — Kelly Cutrone

Fingerprint Quotes By Bruce Springsteen

The artists we love, they put their fingerprint on your imagination, and on your heart and your soul. — Bruce Springsteen

Fingerprint Quotes By Gregory Heisler

To me, style is like your fingerprint. Nobody else has it. — Gregory Heisler

Fingerprint Quotes By George W. Bush

[Saddam Hussein] is a threat because he is dealing with al-Qaeda ... A true threat facing our country is that an al-Qaeda-type network trained and armed by Saddam could attack America and not leave one fingerprint. — George W. Bush

Fingerprint Quotes By Angela Lam Turpin

Marriage is like a fingerprint. Everyone's is different. — Angela Lam Turpin

Fingerprint Quotes By Ngina Otiende

The reason anyone can withstand trying and difficult times is because they
have the fingerprint of an eternal God. — Ngina Otiende

Fingerprint Quotes By Jamal Mahjoub

Sudan is not really a country at all, but many. A composite layers, like a genetic fingerprint of memories that were once fluid, but have since crystallized out from the crucible of possibility — Jamal Mahjoub

Fingerprint Quotes By Rush Limbaugh

The Democrats cannot find Romney fingerprints on what's happening to this country. Every fingerprint is Barack Obama's, Joe Biden's, Nancy Pelosi's, Harry Reid's, Barney Frank's, you name it, Eric Holder. — Rush Limbaugh

Fingerprint Quotes By Charles Martin

I have come to kno one thing without ay shadow of doubt: if anything in this universe reflects the fingerprint of God, it is the human heart — Charles Martin

Fingerprint Quotes By David Daniels

An email address is like a customer's "digital fingerprint". — David Daniels

Fingerprint Quotes By Bob Teague

What does "success" mean to you? Was Mother Teresa a "success"? Was your favorite teacher a "success"? Were your parents, grandparents, your pastor, your best friends a "success"? Success is as personal as a fingerprint or DNA; you must define it for yourself. — Bob Teague

Fingerprint Quotes By A.W. Tozer

All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carries with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in beautiful harmony, a harmony that is ordered by God Himself. — A.W. Tozer

Fingerprint Quotes By Angela Marsons

The skin was silent against my fingerprint. — Angela Marsons

Fingerprint Quotes By Catherine Carrigan

You are already a VIP - a vibrational interference pattern. Your vibration is as specific and unique to you as your fingerprint. — Catherine Carrigan

Fingerprint Quotes By Yukio Mishima

Honda ... knew that to retain Kiyoaki's affection he must check the unthinking roughness that friendship ordinarily permitted. He had to treat him as warily as one would a freshly painted wall, on which the slightest careless touch would leave an indelible fingerprint. Should the circumstances demand it, he would have to go so far as to pretend not to notice Kiyoaki's mortal agony. Especially if such assumed obtuseness served to point up the elegance that would surely characterize Kiyoaki's ultimate suffering. At such moments, Honda could even love Kiyoaki for the look of mute appeal in his eyes. Their beautiful gaze seemed to hold a plea: leave things as they are, as gloriously undefined as the line of the seashore. — Yukio Mishima

Fingerprint Quotes By Al Franken

If you use Facebook - as I do - Facebook in all likelihood has a unique digital file of your face, one that can be as accurate as a fingerprint and that can be used to identify you in a photo of a large crowd. — Al Franken

Fingerprint Quotes By Erin Morgenstern

PROSPERO THE ENCHANTER uses a pocket knife to slit his daughter's fingertips open, one by one, watching wordlessly as she cries until calm enough to heal them, drips of blood slowly creeping backward. The skin melds together, swirls of fingerprint ridges finding one another — Erin Morgenstern

Fingerprint Quotes By Maya Angelou

Style is as unique and nontransferable and perfectly personal as a fingerprint. It is wise to take the time to develop one's own way of being, increasing those things one does well and eliminating the elements in one's character which can hinder and diminish the good personality. — Maya Angelou

Fingerprint Quotes By John Steinbeck

And as we sat with the cigars and liqueur, the talk turned to relations with the United States. Korneichuk had been part of a cultural delegation to the United States. On their arrival in New York he and his delegation had been fingerprinted and made to register as agents of a foreign power. The fingerprinting had outraged them, and so they had returned home without carrying out the visit. For, as Korneichuk said, With us, fingerprinting is only for criminals. We did not fingerprint you. You have not been photographed or forced to register. — John Steinbeck

Fingerprint Quotes By Gordon B. Hinckley

All the beauty in the earth bears the fingerprint of the master creator. — Gordon B. Hinckley

Fingerprint Quotes By Debra K. Farrington

We cannot truly know and understand how God speaks to us unless we have actually experienced
it. Learning to discern the fingerprint of God on your own life allows you to know deep in your soul and your skin the person God calls you to be. Then be that person instead of trying to be what you aren't. You'll be much richer for the experience. So will the rest of the world. — Debra K. Farrington

Fingerprint Quotes By Don Pendleton

Every writer is working from his own individual world view, and that can become as characteristic as a fingerprint. — Don Pendleton

Fingerprint Quotes By Bey Deckard

I'm about to object when he turns his head and takes my thumb into his mouth instead. He gnaws at it all gentle, teeth and tongue teasing over my fingerprint, before he slides it further so that my hand winds up cupping his jaw. His mouth is hot and wet and when he sucks softly, I get an unexpected, almost electric pulse that shoots straight to my groin; it's damned sexy what he's doing. — Bey Deckard

Fingerprint Quotes By Nicholas Kristof

Doesn't it seem odd that your cellphone can be set up to require a PIN or a fingerprint, but there's no such option for a gun? — Nicholas Kristof

Fingerprint Quotes By John Durant

An increasing number of devices allow people to collect data about themselves: blood sugar levels, the number of steps taken each day, and sleep cycles. It won't be long before checking blood work will only require a relatively inexpensive device that plugs into a smartphone, not a visit to the doctor's office. The cost of sequencing the genome continues to drop, and soon it will be as unremarkable as taking a fingerprint. — John Durant

Fingerprint Quotes By Bryant McGill

Your unmatched spirit is an emerging expression of the fingerprint of life. — Bryant McGill

Fingerprint Quotes By Pearl Zhu

Culture is the organization's fingerprint. — Pearl Zhu

Fingerprint Quotes By Marianne Wiggins

What being in the War and being in the Army had shown him was that people tend naturally toward light, toward its source, as sunflowers do in a field.
People lean, either in their dreams or in their actions, toward that place where they suspect their inner lights are coming from. Whether they call it God or conscience or the manual of Army protocol, people sublime toward where their inner fire burns, and given enough fuel for thought and a level playing field to dream on, anyone can leave a fingerprint on the blank of history. That's what
Fos believed. — Marianne Wiggins

Fingerprint Quotes By Jan Porter

Each soul path is a divine unique fingerprint and its existence adds to the beautiful tapestry of the cosmos. "Life is a series of defining moments, cross roads and gateways as each door closes and new ones open. Always and in all ways follow the heartbeat of your own soul which is the pathfilled with light and love. — Jan Porter

Fingerprint Quotes By Eric Thomas

Character is like my fingerprint; it identifies me from everyone else in the world. It says who I am and where I am headed. — Eric Thomas

Fingerprint Quotes By Hazel Gaynor

Her father had once told her that water has a memory; that every rock, every stone, every grain of muddy sediment leaves something of a fingerprint in the water that flows over it. Grace liked this idea, imagining the water of the great lakes and oceans of the world to echo with the memories of the places, people, and events it had passed on its journey. — Hazel Gaynor

Fingerprint Quotes By David Crystal

The story of English spelling is the story of thousands of people - some well-known, most totally unknown - who left a permanent linguistic fingerprint on our orthography. — David Crystal

Fingerprint Quotes By Charles Martin

If anything in the universe reflects the fingerprint of God, it is the human heart" ... It derives no benefit from the blood it pumps making it the most unselfish of organs ... it is also the most courageous and faithful." (124, 126) - Reese — Charles Martin

Fingerprint Quotes By Mikhail Baryshnikov

When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint. — Mikhail Baryshnikov

Fingerprint Quotes By Elizabeth Strout

Driving, Lambright thought the moon looked like a fingerprint of chalk. — Elizabeth Strout

Fingerprint Quotes By Nancy Banks-Smith

You carry forever the fingerprint that comes from being under someone's thumb. — Nancy Banks-Smith

Fingerprint Quotes By Lupe Fiasco

When you understand that your tax dollars pay for those tear gas canisters that were being fired into the crowd, and when you see that, and to know that a little bit of your fingerprint, your American DNA is a part of that, as well as those stealth bombers and that bomb that's lodged in the side of the school that has "Made in USA" on it in Gaza, and all of the unmanned drones that are blowing up weddings and things of that nature, to know that you pay for that, you really have - you don't have to do it now, but you need to think about that. — Lupe Fiasco

Fingerprint Quotes By Jan Chipchase

Facial recognition software is already quite accurate in measuring unchanging and unique ratios between facial features that identify you as you. It's like a fingerprint. — Jan Chipchase

Fingerprint Quotes By Glenn Haybittle

On the brightening air drifts a scent of refreshed stone, moistened soil. She feels the earthy fingerprint of the cold morning air spread over her skin as if she is in the act of undressing. Her body has an early morning weightlessness about it. She might almost be a memory of herself. Conjured up by the sleeping city. — Glenn Haybittle

Fingerprint Quotes By Douglas Adams

I'm very glad you asked me that, Mrs Rawlinson. The term 'holistic' refers to my conviction that what we are concerned with here is the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. I do not concern myself with such petty things as fingerprint powder, telltale pieces of pocket fluff and inane footprints. I see the solution to each problem as being detectable in the pattern and web of the whole. The connections between causes and effects are often much more subtle and complex than we with our rough and ready understanding of the physical world might naturally suppose, Mrs Rawlinson.

"Let me give you an example. If you go to an acupuncturist with toothache he sticks a needle instead into your thigh. Do you know why he does that, Mrs Rawlinson?

No, neither do I, Mrs Rawlinson, but we intend to find out. A pleasure talking to you, Mrs Rawlinson. Goodbye. — Douglas Adams

Fingerprint Quotes By Michael Connelly

Hollywood Boulevard had been victimized by a burglar three times in two years. The criminal methods of each break-in were similar and so it was suspected by the Los Angeles Police Department that the same thief was responsible each time. But the thief was careful never to leave a fingerprint or any other clue to his identity. No arrests were — Michael Connelly

Fingerprint Quotes By Virginia Woolf

The light struck upon the trees in the garden, making one leaf transparent and then another. One bird chirped high up; there was a pause; another chirped lower down. The sun sharpended the walls of the house, and rested like the tip of a fan upon a white blind and made a fingerprint of a shadow under the leaf by the bedroom window. The blind stirred slightly, but all within was dim and unsubstantial. The birds sang their blank melody outside. — Virginia Woolf

Fingerprint Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

Hop in? Dude, are you out of your ever-loving mind? I can't touch this. I might leave a fingerprint or something. (Nick)
Oh the horror. Guess I'll have to trade the piece of junk in and get a new one if that happens. (Acheron) — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Fingerprint Quotes By George Takei

When I was going to gay bars in my 20s and 30s, the older guys there explained to me that the police would occasionally raid these places and march the clients out, load them onto paddy wagons, drive them down to the station, photograph them, fingerprint them and put their names on a list. They were doing nothing wrong, and it was criminalized. — George Takei

Fingerprint Quotes By Marjorie M. Liu

Now, here. The Warlord sent a likeness of himself."
Sally frowned, but leaned in for a good long stare. "He looks like a dirty fingerprint."
"Of course he doesn't," replied her father, squinting at the portrait. "You can see his eyes, right there."
"I thought those were his nostrils."
"Well, you're not going to be picky, are you? At least he has a face."
"Yes," Sally replied dryly. "What a miracle. — Marjorie M. Liu

Fingerprint Quotes By Mary Roach

There are fast chewers and slow chewers, long chewers and short chewers, right-chewing people and left-chewing people. Some of us chew straight up and down, and others chew side-to-side, like cows. Your oral processing habits are a physiological fingerprint. — Mary Roach

Fingerprint Quotes By Mitch Albom

Voice. And while they deepen with age, voices are, to one destined to listen for eternity, as distinct as a fingerprint. — Mitch Albom

Fingerprint Quotes By Ezra Miller

Everybody feels like an outcast because the world is so large and every fingerprint is so vastly different from one another, and yet we have these standards and beliefs, and dogmatic systems of judgment and ranking, in almost all the societies of the world. — Ezra Miller
