Quotes About Interval

That was longer than a heartbeat.
~ Alex Garland
The interval allowed was only five minutes, at the end of which I resumed the lecture; but so refreshing was the effects of the brief rest and, above all, the admission of pure air, that during the second hour the attention was as completely sustained as during the first.
~ George Combe
Meaning was not a pitch but an interval. It sprang from the depth of disjunction, the distance between one circuit's center and the edge of another. Representation caught the sign napping, with its semantic pants down. Sense lay in metaphor's embarrassment at having two takes on the same thing. For the first time, I understand Emerson's saying about the use of life being to learn metonymy. Life *was* metonymy, or at least stood for it.

The smaller ones should always be preferred to the larger; i.e., rather than having the bass ascend or descend a sixth, we should have it descend or ascend a third, since ascending a third is the same as descending a sixth, just as ascending a sixth and descending a third, ascending a fifth and descending a fourth, or ascending a fourth and descending a
~ Jean-Philippe Rameau
and every six seconds a blackbird
~ Alice Oswald
Dancing and singing, movements on the stage, and the different types of miming are all acts performed by the body. Moments of "no action" occur in between…. The actions before and after an interval of "no action" must be linked by entering the state of mindlessness in which the actor conceals even from himself his own intent.

Humans more easily remember or learn items when they are studied a few times over a long period of time (spaced presentation), rather than studied repeatedly in a short period of time.
~ Hermann Ebbinghaus
call this interval "interglacial" rather than "post-glacial" because for the past million years, Earth has oscillated between glacial cold and interglacial warmth on a 100,000-year timescale dictated by metronomic variations in Earth's orbit around the sun. There is no reason to believe that our current warmth is anything other than an interglacial interval destined to give way to renewed glacial advance in the future.

I'm really into circuit training. You don't have to do each station for very long. Implementing some free weights, maybe a treadmill if you're at a gym, you can put together your own little circuit.

How long was this one up there?' I said. 'Two or three days
~ Lee Child
In fact, the first clock to record hours of equal length wasn't invented until the 1330s. Before that, daylight, however long, had been divided into twelve equal intervals, which meant that an "hour" might be more than twice as long in June as in December (in London, for example, it varied from 38 to 82 of today's minutes).
~ Leonard Mlodinow
In what other sport do you get a 15-second break every hour?
