The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living. I am not speaking, of...

And it seems to me important for a country, for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again.

I’d rather lose an argument than get into a long discussion in order to win it.

I’m a method writer. In order to write about the emotion, I have to experience it. I get physically tired and exhausted, devoting hours and hours and hours to it.

For what are myths if not the imposing of order on phenomena that do not possess order in themselves? And all myths, however they differ from philosophical systems and scientific theories, share this with them, that they negate the principle of randomness in the world.

Bo słuchajmy i zważmy u siebie,Że według bożego rozkazu:Kto za życia choć raz był w niebie,Ten po śmierci nie trafi od razu.

I like it that order exists somewhere even if it shatters near me.

I ordered a beer and then I ordered another beer, because why finish one when I can finish two? Having only one is great for love, but bad for beer.

The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone...

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

Gen. Banks has issued an order for the instruction of Negro children. Schoolhouses are to be built or rented and Teachers hired for this purpose, and the farmers and planters are to pay the Taxes in support of this.

I think the funds that have been pledged at Euro Summit, combined with the outcome of the private sector involvement process should be sufficient in order to support financially the Greek Economy.

In order for a man to feel whole, he needs someone to look up to and someone to look up to him.

I’m interested in taking raw human emotions and then isolating them without any narrative structure. In order to achieve this, I try to break out of the narrative conventions that you’d see in a typical feature film.

In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention.

In times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings–artists, scientists, clowns and philosophers–to create order. In times such as ours, however, when there is too much order, too much management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women to fling their...

Had I been present at the Creation, I would have given some useful hints for the better ordering of the universe.

People get used to more complex forms of entertainment, and they become bored by simpler forms. Television has become more complex in order to feed our demand.

Disorder created connections──that is, resonance.

Order is power.

We can make life in the computer. Granted, it’s limited, but we have learned what it takes in order to actually construct it.

Which is more valuable into showing how I think: the order I think of things, or the order in which I arrange them once I’ve thought of them?

There seems to be a sense of balance or equilibrium that nature attempts to achieve with the usage of cycles, leading us to the concept of self-organization and spontaneous order.

Art serves to confront that which is outside order, to give form to the obscene. In the process, it opens it to transformations that can not only make it safe for public consumption, not a powerful vehicle through which to address the public imagination.

The absurd consequences of neglecting structure but using the concept of order just the same are evident if one examines the present terminology of information theory.

In order to stand well in the eyes of the community, it is necessary to come up to a certain, somewhat indefinite, conventional standard of wealth.

From where we stand the rain seems random. If we could stand somewhere else, we would see the order in it.

The sacred formula of positivism: love as a principle, the order as a foundation, and progress as a goal.

Nearly every “serious” anarchist writer in recent years has tried to distance anarchism from chaos. Yet for most ordinary people, chaos and anarchy are forever linked. The connection between chaos and anarchism should be rethought and embraced, instead of being downplayed and repressed. Chaos is the nightmare of rulers, states, and capitalists. We should not...

Le savant doit ordonner ; on fait la science avec des faits comme une maison avec des pierres ; mais une accumulation de faits n’est pas plus une science qu’un tas de pierres n’est une maison.The Scientist must set in order. Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a...

U.S. soldiers, with whom I now have more than a passing acquaintance, joke that they track my movements in order to know where they will be deployed next.

That’s all about the natural order of things, the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature.

It’s a very organic process, and it has a specific order to it. I love to write, and once you’ve written, then you arrange. After the arrangement, you record it, and then you tour it.

Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder.

I don’t have to participate in another culture’s ceremonies in order to respect that culture.

For, what is order without common sense, but Bedlam’s front parlor? What is imagination without common sense, but the aspiration to out-dandy Beau Brummell with nothing but a bit of faded muslin and a limp cravat? What is Creation without common sense, but a scandalous thing without form or function, like a matron with half...

I am waiting impatiently for the day when beleaguered, like-minded academics can order James Wolcott’s collected essays for their classes.

Sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.

Einstein has a feeling for the central order of things. He can detect it in the simplicity of natural laws. We may take it that he felt this simplicity very strongly and directly during his discovery of the theory of relativity. Admittedly, this is a far cry from the contents of religion. I don’t believe...

We combat obstacles in order to get repose, and when got, the repose is insupportable.

You need some quick wins in order to stay pumped enough to get out of debt completely.
