Discovery Quotes
Somewhere in my head, a private conviction exists that 'Search is the Process' and 'Discovery the Art Form.
Abe Ajay
Hence the vogue for double majors. It isn’t enough anymore to take a bunch of electives in addition to your primary focus, to roam freely across the academic fields, making serendipitous connections and discoveries, the way that American higher education was designed (uniquely, among the world’s systems) to allow you to do.
William Deresiewicz
I like to do things that are new, where I feel the sense of discovery.
David Rees
The scientific discovery appears first as the hypothesis of an analogy; and science tends to become independent of the hypothesis.
William Kingdon Clifford
Sexuality is a part of our behavior. It's part of our world freedom. Sexuality is something that we ourselves create. It is our own creation, and much more than the discovery of a secret side of our desire. We have to understand that with our desires go new forms of relationships, new forms of love, new forms of creation. Sex is not a fatality; it's a possibility for creative life. It's not enough to affirm that we are gay but we must also create a gay life.
Leon Foucault
Working with Meryl Streep I just felt like I was shaving years off my discovery as an actress to realize, "Okay, that's what this feels like."
Anne Hathaway
Every one of us is a mystic. We may or may not realize it, we may not even like it. But whether we know it or not, whether we accept it or not, mystical experience is always there, inviting us on a journey of ultimate discovery. We have been given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless love, caring compassion, and wisdom. Existence is a summons to the eternal journey of the sage - the sage we all are, if only we could see.
Wayne Teasdale
It is especially important for managers to know about, neuroplasticity, the greatest discovery in neuroscience in the past 20 years. It refers to the fact that the brain is remarkably plastic. It can grow and change for the better throughout life. In fact, "plastic" denotes the brain's ability to grow and change throughout life.
Edward Hallowell
My kids download 10 games. They play them all for two minutes. They throw away the eight they don't like. Then they play those last two obsessively for a month. That's alien to those of us who buy a $60 game and play it for 40 or 50 hours. The discovery mechanism is completely social, and I don't think you get that genie back in the bottle.
Mitch Lasky
Our society loves to romanticize the idea of the single, solo inventor who, working late in the lab one night, makes an earthshaking discovery, and voila, overnight everything's changed. That's a very appealing picture; however, it's just not true. Medicine today is a team sport.
Nguyen Quyen
Dissonance / (if you are interested) / leads to discovery.
William Carlos Williams
There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.
Richard Feynman
When alchemists first learned how to distill spirits, they called it aqua vitae, the water of life, and far from considering it the work of the devil, they thought the discovery was divinely inspired.
Gene Logsdon
Take an arrow, and hold it in flame for the space of ten pulses, and when it cometh forth you shall find those parts of the arrow which were on the outsides of the flame more burned, blacked, and turned almost to coal, whereas the midst of the flame will be as if the fire had scarce touched it. This is an instance of great consequence for the discovery of the nature of flame; and sheweth manifestly, that flame burneth more violently towards the sides than in the midst.
Francis Bacon
“It was a number of years of crashing and burning before I made the discovery that I was not God. Finally I realized that though I was not God, I was of God”
Nevada Barr
The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.
Myles Munroe
