They have to have a fairly recent analysis of the impacts before they can apply these categorical exclusions. If they’re planning to improperly apply these exemptions … in places where there are old land use...

Concert pianists get to be quite chummy with dead composers. They can’t help it. Classical music isn’t just music. It’s a personal diary. An uncensored confession in the dead of night. A baring of the...

We came into the season [having completed] a shopping readiness analysis [of everything] from network infrastructure and capacity to communications lines,

In the final analysis, it was apparent to me that something’s not working here, … I know that’s kind of nebulous, but it’s the truth. It’s hard to put a finger on it exactly, but...

In Darwin’s time no serious attempt had been made to examine the manifestations of variability. A vast assemblage of miscellaneous facts could formerly be adduced as seemingly comparable illustrations of the phenomenon “Variation.” Time has...

Feelings are like chemicals, the more you analyze them the worse they smell.

We half-eat cookies and drink the milk, we leave notes, all so kids will believe in something that isn’t true. Kids try their best to scientifically determine whether Santa’s real and our whole culture feeds...

In the last analysis we must be judged by what we do and not by what we believe. We are as we behave – with a very small margin of credit for our unmanifested vision...

Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.

To think or not to think? That is the new question.

Propose a new concept, most people especially acquaintances will outrightly reject it on knowing that it’s from an ordinary person; but when the same becomes the popular subject, none will ever reflect to accept that...

Nature is not embarrassed by difficulties of analysis. She avoids complication only in means. Nature seems to be proposed to do much with little: it is a principle that the development of physics constantly supports...

Burnout at its deepest level is not the result of some train wreck of examinations, long call shifts, or poor clinical evaluations. It is the sum total of hundreds and thousands of tiny betrayals of...

The severity of the sentences serves as an ominous reminder of the consequences of misconduct. Executives engage in cost-benefit analysis every day. It’s not surprising that they would be more responsive to deterrence.

Analysis helps patients put their unconscious procedural memories and actions into words and into context, so they can better understand them. In the process they plastically retranscribe these procedural memories, so that they become conscious...

The genius of a composer is found in the notes of his music; but analyzing the notes will not reveal his genius. The poet’s greatness is contained in his words; yet the study of his...

Learn to be as analytical about things of which you are credulous as you are of those which you criticise.

Analysis is the art of creation through destruction.

A great majority of people have got really a good capacity and capability to forgive, but only and solely to own self and that too quite readily, rapidly, regularly and repeatedly.

Instead of sending a sample to a laboratory where they do some kind of elaborate analysis and eventually give you a result, they’ll just have you blow on this chip and have the results then...

Before an experiment can be performed, it must be planned—the question to nature must be formulated before being posed. Before the result of a measurement can be used, it must be interpreted—nature’s answer must be...

And as for the vague something — was it a sinister or a sorrowful, a designing or a desponding expression? — that opened upon a careful observer, now and then, in his eye, and closed...

We are forced to fall back on fatalism as an explanation of irrational events (that is to say, events the reasonableness of which we do not understand). The more we try to explain such events...

We do this analysis every year. The district develops a plan, implements the plan, and the budget are the dollars to support the plan.

If you distance yourself from reality and just cling to cliches about democracy find yourself a different job than analyzing politics

When analytic thought, the knife, is applied to experience, something is always killed in the process.

It’s difficult to find a person who can accept the truth consistently and more when it is related to him only and that’s what keeps the difference between the real talk and the negative talk...

Even in my first analysis of a depressive psychosis, I was immediately struck by its structural similarity with obsessional neurosis.

The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?

Derrière la série de Fourier, d’autres séries analogues sont entrées dans la domaine de l’analyse; elles y sont entrees par la même porte; elles ont été imaginées en vue des applications.After the Fourier series, other...

Most people do not erode their self-esteem over big issues but over small ones, little acts of betrayal and hypocrisy forgotten (repressed) very quickly. But the computer in your subconscious mind forgets nothing. It records...

There is a syndrome in sports called ‘paralysis by analysis.’

The Ph.D is one of the chosen who know that some things can never be fathomed, no matter how hard you try. What good are explanations? There is no possibility of explaining how such a...

As many critics of religion have pointed out, the notion of a creator poses an immediate problem of an infinite regress. If God created the universe, what created God? To say that God, by definition,...

It’s a very simple analysis. The question of is it a slot machine or isn’t it a slot machine, in my opinion, isn’t really an appropriate question. The question is, is it a lawful product...

It is precisely by binding things together that traditional visions perpetuate themselves and the prejudgments contained within them; and it is by insisting on prising things apart that we have liberated ourselves from them

We see it [the as-yet unseen, probable new planet, Neptune] as Columbus saw America from the coast of Spain. Its movements have been felt, trembling along the far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty...

A little later, when breakfast was over and I had not yet gone up-stairs to my room, I had my first interview with Doctor Brandon, the famous alienist who was in charge of the case....

Analysis paralysis is an epidemic that cripples countless dreams and great ideas. Be swift, decisive, and always move forward!
