Quotes about analysis
Bernard Baruch -
In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.
Ernest Gellner -
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
Israelmore Ayivor - Daily Drive 365
Analyze and correct your past mistakes before they paralyze your future! An undiscovered error will always crave for repetition. Kick out errors enjoy a bright future!
Karen Horney -
Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.
Gilbert Sorrentino -
Outside of the dreary rubbish that is churned out by god knows how many hacks of varying degrees of talent, the novel is, it seems to me, a very special and rarefied kind of literary form, and was, for a brief moment only, wide-ranging in its sociocultural influence. For the most part, it has always been an acquired taste and it asks a good deal from its audience. Our great contemporary problem is in separating that which is really serious from that which is either frivolously and fashionably "r
Richard Gunderman -
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 purpose, each one so minute that it hardly attracts notice. When a great ship steams across the ocean, even tiny ripples can accumulate over time, precipitating a dramatic shift in course. There are many Tertius Lydgates, male and female, inhabiting the lecture halls, laboratories, and clinics of tod
Max McKeown - The Strategy Book
Strategy was first used in Athens (508 BC) to describe the art of leadership used by the ten generals on the war council. Some argue for the more creative, human side, while others argue for the more analytic side of strategy.
Anthony de Mello - Awakening: Conversations with the Masters
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 words will not disclose his inspiration. God reveals himself in creation; but scrutinize creation as minutely as you wish, you will not find God, any more than you will find the soul through careful examination of your body.
C.S. Lewis - The Abolition of Man
An open mind, in questions that are not ultimate, is useful. But an open mind about the ultimate foundations either of Theoretical or of Practical Reason is idiocy. If a man's mind is open on these things, let his mouth at least be shut. He can say nothing to the purpose. Outside the Tao there is no ground for criticizing either the Tao or anything else.
Craig D. Lounsbrough -
So, there’s this hornet’s nest. And there’s this long stick. And then there’s me. How I walk away from all of this will depend on whether I realize that some things go together and some things don’t no matter how hard you try.
C.G. Jung - Man and His Symbols
The girl dreams she is dangerously ill. Suddenly birds come out of her skin and cover her completely ... Swarms of gnats obscure the sun, the moon, and all the stars except one. That one start falls upon the dreamer.
Tony Curl - Seriously Simple Stuff to Get You Unstuck
One thing that is guaranteed not to work. Doing Nothing. A goldmine when you realise it. Don't be paralysed by analysis. Don't be paralysed by fear. The one thing that is guaranteed not to work. Doing nothing achieves nothing.
Sunday Adelaja -
To sit down means to calm down without rush and fuss, stop and reflect, analyze all pros and cons, count all possible merits and faults
Sunday Adelaja -
You must sit down and do a complete analysis of your dreams in order to achieve them
Charles Fort - The Book of the Damned
A procession of the damned: By the damned I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of data that science has excluded. Battalions of the accursed, captained by pallid data that I have exhumed will march. You'll read them, or they'll march. Some of them livid and some of them fiery and some of them rotten. Some of them are corpses, skeletons, mummies, twitching, tottering, animated by companions that have been damned alive. There are giants that will walk by, though sound asleep. There are
Albert Einstein -
Concepts that have proven useful in ordering things easily achieve such an authority over us that we forget their earthly origins and accept them as unalterable givens. Thus they come to be stamped as “necessities of thought”, “a priori givens”, etc. The path of scientific advance is often made impassable for a long time through such errors. For that reason, it is by no means an idle game if we become practiced in analyzing the long commonplace concepts and exhibiting those circumstances upon wh
Stan Goff - Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century
Even scientists and academics are frequent prey to the delusion that reality is reducible. Fear, deep and wide, is the secret motive force of much human behavior, and I think reduction is often rooted in fear. Passing over fear, I think, is the beginning of every liberatory project.
Pierre-Simon Laplace -
We ought to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its antecedent state and as the cause of the state that is to follow. An intelligence knowing all the forces acting in nature at a given instant, as well as the momentary positions of all things in the universe, would be able to comprehend in one single formula the motions of the largest bodies as well as the lightest atoms in the world, provided that its intellect were sufficiently powerful to subject all data to analysis; to
Sunday Adelaja - spending time or investing time?
You must begin to live your life by doing a comparative analysis between any two events in your life and making sure you are only investing your time into that event which adds more value to your life.
Amit Kalantri - Wealth of Words
In the business people with expertise, experience and evidence will make more profitable decisions than people with instinct, intuition and imagination.
Pamela Cummins - Learn the Secret Language of Dreams
Loving and working relationships bring so much joy into our lives! We need to work on our relationships like a garden; toiling the soil for a solid foundation, planting the seeds to slowly grow into a flower, daily water and weeding to maintain growth, and making adjustments when the relationship is in full bloom. Sadly, there are times when the plot of land dries up, nothing will grow, and it’s time to move on. Our dreams of the nighttime can be used as maintenance in all our relationships.
Sunday Adelaja -
Usually, when people get an idea, they are eager to start acting immediately, immerse themselves in the process without creating a system of actions, without being knowledgeable of the matter, without analyzing and estimating everything beforehand
Ellen Glasgow - The Shadowy Third
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. I had never seen him before, but from the first moment that I looked at him I took his measure, almost by intuition. He was, I suppose, honest enough -- I have always granted him that, bitterly as I have felt toward him. It wasn't his fault that he lacked red blood in his brain, or that he had formed the habit, from
Nathaniel Branden -
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 your spiritual profit and loss. The balance sheet reflects your present level of self-esteem--and sends you the information via your emotions.
Shannon L. Alder -
Never presume to know a person based on the one dimensional window of the internet. A soul can’t be defined by critics, enemies or broken ties with family or friends. Neither can it be explained by posts or blogs that lack facial expressions, tone or insight into the person’s personality and intent. Until people “get that”, we will forever be a society that thinks Beautiful Mind was a spy movie and every stranger is really a friend on Facebook.
Alan Cohen -
Apply analysis when appropriate, but keep it on a short leash when joy beckons.
P.S. Baber - Cassie Draws the Universe
Analysis is the art of creation through destruction.
Sigmund Freud - Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego
As regards intellectual work it remains a fact, indeed, that great decisions in the realm of thought and momentous discoveries and solutions of problems are only possible to an individual, working in solitude.
Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre
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 again before one could fathom the strange depth partially disclosed; that something which used to make me fear and shrink, as if I had been wandering amongst volcanic-looking hills, and had suddenly felt the ground quiver, and seen it gape: that something, I, at intervals, beheld still; and with throbbing heart,
Chris Kraus - I Love Dick
Female monsters take things as personally as they really are. They study facts. Even if rejection makes them feel like the girl who's not invited to the party, they have to understand the reasons why.... Every question, once it's formulated, is a paradigm, contains its own internal truth. We have to stop diverting ourselves with false questions. And I told Warren: I aim to be a female monster too.
Robert M. Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
Now we’ve a real intellectual impasse. Our reason, which is supposed to make things more intelligible, seems to be making them less intelligible, and when reason thus defeats its own purpose something has to be changed in the structure of our reason itself.
Hany Ghoraba -
If you distance yourself from reality and just cling to cliches about democracy find yourself a different job than analyzing politics
Chuck Klosterman - Eating the Dinosaur
If you've spent any time trolling the blogosphere, you've probably noticed a peculiar literary trend: the pervasive habit of writers inexplicably placing exclamation points at the end of otherwise unremarkable sentences. Sort of like this! This is done to suggest an ironic detachment from the writing of an expository sentence! It's supposed to signify that the writer is self-aware! And this is idiotic. It's the saddest kind of failure. F. Scott Fitzgerald believed inserting exclamation points wa
Brad Meltzer - The Inner Circle
The past may not hurt you, but it won't challenge you, either.
Norman Doidge - The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science
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 explicit memories, sometimes for the first time, and patients no longer need to "relive" or "reenact" them, especially if they were traumatic.
Charles Kingsley -
Feelings are like chemicals, the more you analyze them the worse they smell.
Suzy Davies -
Reading an author's Biography contributes to an understanding and enjoyment of their work, and gives a richness to the reading experience.
Antonella Gambotto-Burke - The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide
Secret elisions within families are suddenly revealed by self-execution, and just as quickly sheeted with excuses, blame, and counter-blame. But sense is made of the world only through relationship between action and reaction, symptom and cause. No change is possible without analysis of accountability.
Steve Maraboli - Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… dream your dream… then, WAKE UP and bring it to life!
Nadina Boun - Paralysis by Analysis
To think or not to think? That is the new question.
Klaus H. Krippendorff - Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology
The assumptions that propagandists are rational, in the sense that they follow their own propaganda theories in their choice of communications, and that the meanings of propagandists' communications may differ for different people reoriented the FCC* analysts from a concept of "content as shared" (Berelson would later say "manifest") to conditions that could explain the motivations of particular communicators and the interests they might serve. The notion of "preparatory propaganda" became an es
Klaus H. Krippendorff - Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology
Propagandists reveal themselves through their use of tricks such as "name-calling", employing "glittering generalities", "plain folks" identifications, "card stacking", "bandwagon" devices, and so on. Such devices could be identified easily in many religious and political speeches, even in academic lectures, and this approach to propaganda analysis led to a kind of witch-hunt for propagandists.
William Herschel -
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 hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration.
Raheel Farooq -
Analysis is soul of thought and ghost of wit.
Joan Gould - Spinning Straw into Gold: What Fairy Tales Reveal About the Transformations in a Woman's Life
His [(Rumpelstiltskin)] feeling that his name, which is his identity, must be kept secret, or else he'll be revealed to the world as the hunchbacked, shriveled, ridiculous creature he knows himself to be. And if that happens, he'll disappear.
Sam Harris - Letter to a Christian Nation
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, is uncreated simply begs the question. Any being capable of creating a complex world promises to be very complex himself. As the biologist Richard Dawkins has observed repeatedly, the only natural process we know of that could produce a being capable of designing things is evolution.
Jiddu Krishnamurti -
Analysis does not transform consciousness.
Sunday Adelaja -
Learn your topic through self-study through scrupulous analysis and learn about your goal
Jean Fresnel -
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 by new evidence.
Idries Shah - Reflections
Learn to be as analytical about things of which you are credulous as you are of those which you criticise.
Pearl Zhu - Thinkingaire: 100 Game Changing Digital Mindsets to Compete for the Future
Analysis and synthesis are different mental muscles to serve different purposes.
Arthur Conan Doyle - The Adventure of the Devil's Foot
To let the brain work without sufficient material is like racing an engine. It racks itself to pieces.
Robert M. Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
When analytic thought, the knife, is applied to experience, something is always killed in the process.
Joan Gould - Spinning Straw into Gold: What Fairy Tales Reveal About the Transformations in a Woman's Life
When assaulted by sexual knowledge for the first time, a girl plunges into a period of blackness, which is required in order to let her emotions catch up with her body.Sleeping Beauty sleeps. Cinderella waits, and while she waits she works her way through the darkness of depression. Snow White both works and sleeps before she is ready to open her eyes and find a Prince leaning over her.
Elfriede Jelinek - The Piano Teacher
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 work [Mozart's Requiem, in the instance] could ever have come into being. (The same holds true for certain poems, which should not be analyzed either.)
Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet
The only people who see the whole picture are the ones who step outside the frame.
Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood
I believe that I have not been fair to you and that, as a result, I must have led you around in circles and hurt you deeply. In doing so, however, I have led myself around in circles and hurt myself just as deeply. I say this not as an excuse or a means of self-justification but because it is true. If I have left a wound inside you, it is not just your wound but mine as well. So please try not to hate me. I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed being than you realize. Which is precisely wh

Increase calls for review, check-up,control, and analysis.
Karl Kraus -
Science is spectral analysis. Art is light synthesis.
Frank Herbert -
Truth suffers from too much analysis.
Temple Grandin -
Computerized medical records will enable statistical analysis to be used to determine which treatments are most effective.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu -
Too much knowledge and analysis can be paralysis.
Thorstein Veblen -
All business sagacity reduces itself in the last analysis to judicious use of sabotage.
John F. Kennedy -
In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
Deyth Banger - Fakeness = Thoughts
Nothing can be perfect... even the analysis of the human behavior. - If you think they can be perfect and 100% Accurate...
Leslie Fiedler -
I have, I admit, a low tolerance for detached chronicling and cool analysis.
