Top Simplest Form Quotes

Simplest Form Quotes By Harold Morowitz

The probability for the chance of formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known is 1 to 10340,000,000 ... The size of this figure is truly staggering, since there are only supposed to be approximately 10 electrons in the whole universe! — Harold Morowitz

Simplest Form Quotes By Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

An infant knows its body, but not the body-based distinctions. It is just conscious and happy. After
all, that was the purpose for which it was born. The pleasure to be is the simplest form of self-love, which later grows into love of the self. Be like an infant with nothing standing between the body and the self. The constant noise of the psychic life is absent. In deep silence the self contemplates the body. It is like the white paper on which nothing is written yet. Be like that infant, instead of trying to be this or that, be happy to be. — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Simplest Form Quotes By Norman Vincent Peale

YOU DO NOT need to be a victim of worry. Reduced to its simplest form, what is worry? It is simply an unhealthy and destructive mental habit. — Norman Vincent Peale

Simplest Form Quotes By Orson Scott Card

I designed Ender's Game to be as clear and accessible as any story of mine could possibly be. My goal was that the reader wouldn't
have to be trained in literature or even in science fiction to receive the tale in its simplest, purest form.
If everybody came to agree that stories should be told this clearly, the professors of literature would be out of a job, and the writers of obscure, encoded fiction would be, not honored, but pitied for their impenetrability. — Orson Scott Card

Simplest Form Quotes By George MacDonald

The God who is ever uttering himself in the changeful profusions of nature; who takes millions of years to form a soul that shall understand him and be blessed; who never needs to be, and never is, in haste; who welcomes the simplest thought of truth or beauty as the return for seed he has sown upon the old fallows of eternity, who rejoices in the response of a faltering moment to the age-long cry of his wisdom in the streets; the God of music, of painting, of building, the Lord of Hosts, the God of mountains and oceans; whose laws go forth from one unseen point of wisdom, and thither return without an atom of loss; the God of history working in time unto christianity; this God is the God of little children, and he alone can be perfectly, abandonedly simple and devoted. — George MacDonald

Simplest Form Quotes By Donato Carrisi

And you have to be careful with illusionists: sometimes evil deceives us by assuming the simplest form of things. — Donato Carrisi

Simplest Form Quotes By Elsie Love

Cottage cheese, broken down into its simplest form, is milk that has been curdled to mimic the cellulite its consumption is meant to banish. — Elsie Love

Simplest Form Quotes By Victor Hugo

The fact is that the beautiful, humanly speaking, is merely form considered in its simplest aspect, in its most perfect symmetry, in its most entire harmony with our make-up. Thus the ensemble that it offers us is always complete, but restricted like ourselves. What we call the ugly, on the contrary, is a detail of a great whole which eludes us, and which is in harmony, not with man but with all creation. That is why it constantly presents itself to us in new but incomplete aspects. — Victor Hugo

Simplest Form Quotes By John Banville

Lately I had been finding it hard to understand the simplest things people said to me, as if what they were speaking in were a form of language I did not recognise; I would know the words but could not assemble them into sense. — John Banville

Simplest Form Quotes By Molly Friedenfeld

If we want to create Heaven on earth, we must be the creators of Heaven on earth. This means we must choose to infuse honor and love into each experience, with every soul and creature we encounter. In its simplest form, this is what Angels do. — Molly Friedenfeld

Simplest Form Quotes By Anne Truitt

I've struggled all my life to get maximum meaning in the simplest possible form, — Anne Truitt

Simplest Form Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

For the first time in his life, he truly understood love. It wasn't just an intangible emotion, it was when his own happiness was found by making her happy. It wasn't something found in a grandiose gesture. I was found in the simplest form.
A single smile that made a cold-blooded assassin weak in the knees. — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Simplest Form Quotes By George Iles

A calculating engine is one of the most intricate forms of mechanism, a telegraph key one of the simplest. But compare their value. — George Iles

Simplest Form Quotes By Rob McClure

I think I've got to go back to 'Someone to Watch Over Me.' I think it's a perfectly written song. I really do. I think it's one of the great songs in the American Songbook, and it speaks to love in its simplest and purest form. — Rob McClure

Simplest Form Quotes By Steven H. Strogatz

let's begin with the word "vector." It comes from the Latin root vehere, "to carry," which also gives us words like "vehicle" and "conveyor belt." To an epidemiologist, a vector is the carrier of a pathogen, like the mosquito that conveys malaria to your bloodstream. To a mathematician, a vector (at least in its simplest form) is a step that carries you from one place to another. — Steven H. Strogatz

Simplest Form Quotes By John F. MacArthur Jr.

No spiritual exercise is such a blending of complexity and simplicity. It is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try, yet the sublimest strains that reach the Majesty on high. It is as appropriate to the aged philosopher as to the little child. It is the ejaculation of a moment and the attitude of a lifetime. It is the expression of the rest of faith and of the fight of faith. It is an agony and an ecstasy. It is submissive and yet importunate. In the one moment it lays hold of God and binds the devil. It can be focused on a single objective and it can roam the world. It can be abject confession and rapt adoration. — John F. MacArthur Jr.

Simplest Form Quotes By G.K. Chesterton

Perhaps it would sound too paradoxical to say that these two saints saved us from Spirituality; a dreadful doom. Perhaps it may be misunderstood if I say that St. Francis, for all his love of animals, saved us from being Buddhists; and that St. Thomas, for all his love of Greek philosophy, saved us from being Platonists. But it is best to say the truth in its simplest form; that they both reaffirmed the Incarnation, by bringing God back to earth. — G.K. Chesterton

Simplest Form Quotes By Tad Williams

After all, is it not the way we humans shape the universe, shape time itself? Do we not take the raw stuff of chaos and impose a beginning, middle, and end on it, like the simplest and most profound of folktales, to reflect the shapes of our own tiny lives? And if the physicists are right, that the physical world changes as it is observed, and we are its only known observers, then might we not be bending the entire chaotic universe, the eternal, ever-active Now, to fit that familiar form? — Tad Williams

Simplest Form Quotes By David Lynch

That state of simplest form of awareness alone, is worthy of seeing, hearing, contemplating and realizing. — David Lynch

Simplest Form Quotes By Anonymous

to the world of television contributes to conceptions that viewers have about the real world. In its simplest form, cultivation analysis tries to ascertain if those who watch more television, compared to those who watch less but are otherwise comparable, are more likely to perceive the real world in ways that reflect the most common and repetitive messages and lessons provided by television programs. — Anonymous

Simplest Form Quotes By Reza Aslan

So then, give back to Caesar what is his, and give back to God what belongs to God. That is the zealot argument in its simplest, most concise form. And it seems to be enough for the authorities in Jerusalem to immediately label Jesus as lestes. A bandit. A zealot. — Reza Aslan

Simplest Form Quotes By Pamela Brooks

Love and generosity are the simplest forms of peace. — Pamela Brooks

Simplest Form Quotes By Keith Haring

Children are the bearers of life in its simplest and most joyous form. Children are color-blind and still free of all the complications, greed, and hatred that will slowly be instilled in them through life. — Keith Haring

Simplest Form Quotes By Elaine Pagels

Why did the consensus of Christian churches not only accept these astonishing views but establish them as the only true form of Christian doctrine? ... these religious debates - questions of the nature of God, or of Christ - simultaneously bear social and political implications that are crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as 'heresy'; ideas which implicitly support it become 'orthodox.' — Elaine Pagels

Simplest Form Quotes By Mark Twain

If I can capture truth in its simplest form, beauty will follow like a sledgehammer. — Mark Twain

Simplest Form Quotes By Mark Douglas

If you asked me to distill trading down to its simplest form, I would say that it is a pattern recognition numbers game. — Mark Douglas

Simplest Form Quotes By Alison Lurie

The great subversive works of children's literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten. — Alison Lurie

Simplest Form Quotes By Barbara Brennan

The simplest kind of guidance (critique) comes every day, and many times a day in the form of discomfort. — Barbara Brennan

Simplest Form Quotes By Casper Rigsby

Maybe you know the backstory of Batman and so you know that story isn't a factual tale. However in its simplest form the story of Batman's inception is actually far more believable than the Bible in its simplest form. The only reason people buy the Bible story is because piled onto a simple story about a space wizard is all this other fluff to try and make it look like it has more substance than it really has. But if you strip away the fluff and say it straight you can see it for what it is. — Casper Rigsby

Simplest Form Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Philosophy, in its simplest form, is the exploration of the beauty and ugliness of life. — Debasish Mridha

Simplest Form Quotes By Nikki Sixx

A song has to be hummable and memorable at it simplest form, and that's what bass does for me. I feel like the glue to everything. — Nikki Sixx

Simplest Form Quotes By Paul Gauguin

A great sentiment can be rendered immediately. Dream on it and look for the simplest form in which you can express it. — Paul Gauguin

Simplest Form Quotes By Mark Twain

The average American's simplest and commonest form of breakfast consists of coffee and beefsteak. — Mark Twain

Simplest Form Quotes By Luis Bunuel

What am I to God? Nothing, a murky shadow. My passage on this earth is too rapid to leave any traces; it counts for nothing in space or in time. God really doesn't pay any attention to us, so even if he exists, it's as if he didn't. My form of atheism, however, leads inevitably to an acceptance of the inexplicable. Mystery is inseparable from chance, and our whole universe is a mystery. Since I reject the idea of a divine watchmaker (a notion even more mysterious than the mystery it supposedly explains), then I must consent to live in a kind of shadowy confusion. And insofar as no explication, even the simplest, works for everyone, I've chosen my mystery. At least it keeps my moral freedom intact. — Luis Bunuel

Simplest Form Quotes By Marcus Samuelsson

Salad can get a bad rap. People think of bland and watery iceberg lettuce, but in fact, salads are an art form, from the simplest rendition to a colorful kitchen-sink approach. — Marcus Samuelsson

Simplest Form Quotes By Dew Platt

There is no divinity achieved unless the individual mind submits itself to a mind supposed supreme. The Bible in its simplest form is simply that - a book. When you give it your mind it becomes powerful. — Dew Platt

Simplest Form Quotes By Richard H. Thaler

John Rawls (1971) called the publicity principle. In its simplest form, the publicity principle bans government from selecting a policy that it would not be able or willing to defend publicly to its own citizens. — Richard H. Thaler

Simplest Form Quotes By Nicole Krauss

Sometimes these misunderstandings were even desirable, since they gave people a reason to say 'Forgive me, I was only scratching my nose. Of course I know I've always been right to love you.' Because of the frequency of these mistakes, over time the gesture for asking forgiveness evolved into the simplest form. Just to open your palm was to say: Forgive me. — Nicole Krauss

Simplest Form Quotes By Eric Greitens

There were a number of definitions of courage, but now I was seeing it in its simplest form: you do what has to be done day after day, and you never quit. — Eric Greitens

Simplest Form Quotes By Sadghuru

On the occasion of yoga day, I want to offer you the simplest form of yoga: Namaskar - Yoga for all. — Sadghuru

Simplest Form Quotes By Michele Jennae

The power of a network can be reduced to it's simplest form in 'I know someone who knows someone who knows someone. — Michele Jennae

Simplest Form Quotes By Phil Wohl

The one general theme I took away from that first week with my new friends, was that everyone had their issues. Life in its simplest form is an attempt to deal with and avoid potential impediments. Some families take dysfunction to lofty heights while other break apart like Oreos mixed in a blender. — Phil Wohl

Simplest Form Quotes By Graham Cooke

Prayer, in it's simplest form, is finding out what God wants to do and then asking Him to do it. — Graham Cooke

Simplest Form Quotes By Thomas Guthrie

In the spangled sky, the rainbow, the woodland hung with diamonds, the sward sown with pearly dew, the rosy dawn, the golden clouds of even, the purple mountains, the hoary rock, the blue boundless main, Nature's simplest flower, or some fair form of laughing child or lovely maiden, we cannot see the beautiful without admiring it. — Thomas Guthrie

Simplest Form Quotes By Richard Barber

Heroic poetry tends in its simplest form to be concerned with immediate events and local heroes. A certain length of tradition is required before the epic poem, telling the story of the hero, becomes current. Heroic poetry assumes that the audience knew what the outcome of the battle was, and is concerned with individual feats; the context is of little importance. Epic poems only become attractive as a form when the audience needs to be told who the heroes were. — Richard Barber

Simplest Form Quotes By Myra Lewin

to the depths of your awareness and to the unknown. The first steps are willingness and courage. Five minutes per day is enough to get started. Even a one-minute conscious pause will make a difference. Beginning with the simplest form of meditation can establish discipline, which focuses the mind — Myra Lewin

Simplest Form Quotes By Michael Lowry

It was apparent that both the Wazirs and the Mahsuds were building up a large lashkar (a gathering of hostile forces); the numbers were reported as about 1,000 armed men. This was the first occasion that I heard the word 'Jihud' mentioned; there are a number of interpretations given to it; in its simplest form it could be a holy war declared by Muslims on the unbelievers of Islam. — Michael Lowry

Simplest Form Quotes By Alan Lightman

On one thing most physicists agree. If the amount of dark energy in our universe were only a little bit different than what it actually is, then life could never have emerged. A little larger, and the universe would have accelerated so rapidly that matter in the young universe could never have pulled itself together to form stars and hence complex atoms made in stars. And, going into negative values of dark energy, a little smaller and the universe would have decelerated so rapidly that it would have recollapsed before there was time to form even the simplest atoms. Out of all the possible amounts of dark energy that our universe might have, the actual amount lies in the tiny sliver of the range that allows life. As before, one is compelled to ask the question: Why does such fine-tuning occur? — Alan Lightman

Simplest Form Quotes By Chuck Jones

The whole essence of good drawing - and of good thinking, perhaps - is to work a subject down to the simplest form possible and still have it believable for what it is meant to be. — Chuck Jones

Simplest Form Quotes By Robertson Davies

It is not always easy to diagnose. The simplest form of stupidity - the mumbling, nose-picking, stolid incomprehension - can be detected by anyone. But the stupidity which disguises itself as thought, and which talks so glibly and eloquently, indeed never stops talking, in every walk of life is not so easy to identify, because it marches under a formidable name, which few dare attack. It is called Popular Opinion ... — Robertson Davies

Simplest Form Quotes By Ronan O'Brien

In those early days of our relationship though, I always thought that she was so perfect that there had to be a catch. But there wasn't one. Five months and two days after our very first meeting, we were engaged and nine months after that we were married. And every day that I spent on this planet in the company of Ashling, I experienced the same sense of euphoria that I had tasted on our first date. I experienced something that in its simplest form can only be described as true love. — Ronan O'Brien

Simplest Form Quotes By C. D. Innes

Avant garde has become a ubiquitous label, eclectically applied to any type of art that is anti-traditional in form. At its simplest, the term is sometimes taken to describe what is new at any given time: the leading edge of artistic experiment, which is continually outdated by the next step forward. — C. D. Innes

Simplest Form Quotes By Howard Hawks

The western is the simplest form of drama - a gun, death. — Howard Hawks

Simplest Form Quotes By Karl Barth

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude. — Karl Barth

Simplest Form Quotes By Jane Hirshfield

Evolution tells us how to survive; art tells us how it's possible still to live even while knowing that we and all we love will someday vanish. It says there's beauty even in grief, freedom even inside the strictures of form and of life. What's liberating isn't what's simplest; it's the ability to include more and more shadows, colors and possibilities inside any moment's meeting of self and world. — Jane Hirshfield

Simplest Form Quotes By H.G.Wells

They were all intensely excited, and all overflowing with noisy expressions of their loyalty to the Law. Yet I felt an absolute assurance in my own mind that the Hyena-Swine was implicated in the rabbit-killing. A strange persuasion came upon me that, save for the grossness of the line, save for the grotesqueness of the forms, I had here before me the whole balance of human life in miniature, the whole interplay of instinct, reason, and fate in its simplest form. — H.G.Wells

Simplest Form Quotes By Maurice Blanchot

A child is being killed. This silent passive, this dead eternity to which a temporal form of life must be given in order that we might separate ourselves from it by a murder
this companion, but of no one, whom we seek to particularise as an absence, that we might live upon his banishment, desire with the desire he has not, and speak through and against the world he does not utter
nothing (neither knowledge nor un-knowledge) can designate him, even if the simplest of sentences seems, in four or five words, to divulge him (a child is being killed.) — Maurice Blanchot
