Quotes About Fictitious

One thing I like to do is visit technical forums and ask for help regarding an entirely fictitious problem I'm having with my software. When I receive help, I say, 'Nope. Didn't work.' If they guide me to a button to click, I say, 'Nope. Can't see it.' Sometimes I just reply with nothing but 'Nope,' and it drives them up the wall.
~ Limmy
In the film industry, you are fictitious, just like the characters you play. It has a lot do with a perception about you, and not necessarily you. You are successful because people like that image of you on screen.
~ Samantha Akkineni
If an event that was assigned a probability of 90% fails to happen, the judgment of probability was not necessarily a bad one. After all, outcomes that are just 10% likely to happen end up happening 10% of the time. The Gambardi exercise is an example of a nonverifiable predictive judgment, for two separate reasons: Gambardi is fictitious and the answer is probabilistic.
~ Daniel Kahneman
The essential feature of this internal signal is that the sense of coherence is part of the experience of judgment. It is not contingent on a real outcome. As a result, the internal signal is just as available for nonverifiable judgments as it is for real, verifiable ones. This explains why making a judgment about a fictitious character like Gambardi feels very much the same as does making a judgment about the real world.
~ Daniel Kahneman
The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.

~ Edward Rutherfurd
For indeed when painters themselves wish to represent sirens and satyrs [20] by means of especially bizarre forms, they surely cannot assign to them utterly new natures. Rather, they simply fuse together the members of various animals. Or if perhaps they concoct something so utterly novel that nothing like it has ever been seen before (and thus is something utterly fictitious and false), yet certainly at the very least the colors from which they fashion it ought to be true. And
~ Rene Descartes
Regarding those pesky impersonal third-person singular pronouns and other occasions when the authors must assign a gender to a fictitious person used to illustrate a point, it seems to us there is a simple, fair solution, which we hereby endorse: Unless there are obvious reasons not to, use the gender of the first author. We use he throughout.
~ Richard J. Herrnstein
Non-Aristotelian logic deals with existencial/operacional probabilities. Aristotelian logic deals with certainties, and in the lack of certainties throughout most of life, Aristotelian logic subliminally programs us to ivent fictitious certainties. That rush for fictitious certainties explains most of the Ideologies and damn near all Religions on the planet, I think.

To wyobra?nia wyró?nia, wyobra?nia przeÅ'amuje pospolito??, powtarzalno??, jednolito??. W przeznaczeniu zabawek dostrzegÅ'em przeznaczenie ludzi: tylko wyobra?nia, tworzÄ…c fikcjÄ™ i wymarzone wiÄ™zi, rodzi coÅ› oryginalnego. Bez niej bylibyÅ›myy podobni, zbyt podobni, zbli?eni do siebie, rozpÅ'aszczeni jeden na drugich w koszach rzeczywistoÅ›ci.
~ Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Talent is to actors what luck is to card players. It's not really anything; it's just a fictitious word that people have created and labeled things. Talent is like, you know, I never really believed in talent, I believed in drive and determination and preparation, but talent is sort of like luck.
~ Shia LaBeouf
To be sure, thinking without a knowledge of facts remains empty and fictitious; but information alone can be just as much of an obstacle to thinking as the lack of it.
~ Erich Fromm
When Norman O. Brown said that Western society since Newton, no matter how scientific or secular it claims to be, is still as religious as any other, this is what he meant: civilized society is a hopeful belief and protest that science, money and goods make man count for more than any other animal. In this sense everything that man does is religious and heroic, and yet in danger of being fictitious and fallible.
~ Ernest Becker
If a force can disappear purely because the point of view of the observer changes, then this means the force does not exist: it is dependent on the observer, it has no objective reality (i.e., not all observers experience it as real). It is not a real force. Therefore, Einstein realised gravity was just a fictitious force.
~ Andrew Thomas
I think it would be difficult to explore some aspects of Ted's past, because 'Line of Duty' investigates fictitious police forces - you never know, and you should never know, who it is we might be investigating.
~ Adrian Dunbar
In gravitational fields there are no such things as rigid bodies with Euclidean properties; thus the fictitious rigid body of reference is of no avail in general relativity.
~ Albert Einstein

The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.
~ John Calvin
