Quotes About Unification

The United States is our most important ally. They helped us many times. Without the United States, the unification or German democratisation after the Nazi period would have been much more complicated, or almost impossible.
~ Joschka Fischer
Thus we have at least a national song that unites all Germans, and is the symbol of our sixty-million nation.
~ Friedrich Ebert
There is more power in unity than division.
~ Emanuel Cleaver
What's Management up to? I whispered to Bennett. My guess is a new acronym, he whispered. Departmental Unification Management Business. He wrote down the ltters on his legal pad. D.U.M.B.
~ Connie Willis
Over the ensuing years, researchers would discover new forces in nature, besides electromagnetism and gravity, and also new particles. These would make Einstein's attempts at unification all the more complex. But he would find himself less familiar with the latest data in experimental physics, and he thus would no longer have the same intuitive feel for how to wrest from nature her fundamental principles.
~ Walter Isaacson
That both things could be true at once—my disbelief as well as my certainty—was the unification of the ancient and the future parts of me. It was everything I intended and yet still I was surprised by what I got.

~ Cheryl Strayed
Thus, the double unification given by the equivalence principle becomes a triple unification: All motions are equivalent once the effects of gravity are taken into account, gravity is indistinguishable from acceleration, and the gravitational field is unified with the geometry of space and time. When worked out in detail, this became Einstein's general theory of relativity, which he published in full form in 1915.
~ Lee Smolin
In fact, the particle-antiparticle annihilation and the closing of the string is necessary, if the theory is to be consistent with relativity, meaning the theory is required to have both open and closed strings. But this means it must include gravity. And the difference between gravity and the other forces is naturally explained, in terms of the difference between open and closed strings. For the first time, gravity plays a central role in the unification of the forces.
~ Lee Smolin
If infinities are signs of missing unification, a unified theory will have none. It will be what we call a finite theory, a theory that answers every question in terms of sensible finite numbers.
~ Lee Smolin
In 1914, a Finnish physicist named Gunnar Nordstrom found that all you had to do to unify gravity with electromagnetism was increase the dimensions of space by one. He wrote the equations that describe electromagnetism in a world with four dimensions of space (and one of time), and out popped gravity. Just by the extra dimension of space, you got a unification of gravity with electromagnetism that was also perfectly consistent with Einstein's special theory of relativity.
~ Lee Smolin
One way to unify things that appear different is to show that the apparent difference is due to the difference in the perspective of the observers. A distinction that was previously considered absolute becomes relative. This kind of unification is rare and represents the highest form of scientific creativity. When it is achieved, it radically alters our view of the world.
~ Lee Smolin
In spacetime, all events are baked together: a four-dimensional continuum. Past and future are no more privileged than left and right or up and down.
~ James Gleick
What is important is that we make sure to work together, that we understand our strength comes from unity and not division.
~ Barack Obama
Ibn Arabi observes that the most perfect of mystic lovers are those who love God simultaneously for himself and for them- selves, because this capacity reveals in them the unification of their twofold nature (a resolution of the torn "conscience malheureuse" ). He who has made himself capable of such love is able to do so because he combines mystic knowledge ( ma rrifa ) with vision ( shuhud) .
~ Henry Corbin
You must never forget that the unification of Germany is more important than the development of the European Union, that the fall of the Soviet Union is more important than the unification of Germany, and that the rise of India and China is more important than the fall of the Soviet Union.
~ Henry Kissinger
Germany achieved unification as an affirmation of liberal democracy; it reaffirmed its commitment to European unity as a project of common values and shared development.
~ Henry Kissinger
Woman has two works to perform: a work of differentiation, of man from herself, and a work of unification, of man with herself. ... We, woman, are now entering upon our second work.
~ Laura Riding
To make a long story short, Cantorian set theory helps unify and clarify math in the sense that all mathematical entities can now be understood as fundamentally the same kind of thing-a set.
~ David Foster Wallace
This summer has been idyllic … more than that, it's the unification of this group of formerly lost souls. It's been a syrupy lovefest for the past three months, and I wish it could last forever. I think about that stupid fucking saying, Absence makes the heart grow fonder , and I want to barf. I'm already beyond fond of everyone, so I'm all set.
~ Jessica Park
I like mixing or combining hobby and pleasure with work and have-tos.
~ Jose Gonzalez
What's Management up to?" I whispered to Bennett."My guess is a new acronym, " he whispered. "Departmental Unification Management Business." He wrote down the ltters on his legal pad. "D.U.M.B.
~ Connie Willis, Bellwether
the first challenge is to find an overall umbrella message that unifies your various streams.
~ Donald Miller
Across the Atlantic, Havel added, "Europe is attempting to create a historically new kind of order through the process of unification . . . a Europe in which no one more powerful will be able to suppress anyone less powerful, in which it will no longer be possible to settle disputes with force.
~ Madeleine K. Albright
