Quotes About Organism

If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange-meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil or (since this is increasingly replacing both) the Almighty State.
~ Anthony Burgess
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, but some, to dream.
~ Shirley Jackson

~ Shirley Jackson
Nessun organismo vivente può mantenersi a lungo sano di mente in condizioni di assoluta realtà
~ Shirley Jackson
Nunca dominaremos completamente a natureza, e nosso organismo, ele mesmo parte dessa natureza, será sempre uma construção transitória, limitada em adequação e desemprenho.
~ Sigmund Freud
In the unfertilised egg not even the concept of femaleness is as yet established. As Hegel justly remarks the sexual relation cannot be referred back to the relation of the gametes. It is our duty, then, to study the female organism as a whole.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
Adaptation according to biology means the adjustment of an organism in order to survive in its environment. Similarly, humans are meant to adjust and adapt to challenges of their lifetimes in order to survive and excel eventually. Yes! of course, you shouldn't be frightened by challenges of any kind. Rather, confront your challenges by all means possible until you surmount them and then emerge a success as well.
~ Emeasoba George
It is true that we take it as evident that social life depends upon its material foundation and bears its mark, just as the mental life of an individual depends upon his nervous system and in fact his whole organism. But collective consciousness is something more than a mere epiphenomenon of its morphological basis, just as individual consciousness is something more than a simple efflorescence of the nervous system.
~ Émile Durkheim
The cells of an organism are nodes in a richly interwoven communications network, transmitting and receiving, coding and decoding. Evolution itself embodies an ongoing exchange of information between organism and environment.
~ James Gleick
The one cure for any organism, is to be set right--to have all its parts brought into harmony with each other; the one comfort is to know this cure in process. Rightness alone is cure. The return of the organism to its true self, is its only possible ease. To free a man from suffering, he must be set right, put in health; and the health at the root of man's being, his rightness, is to be free from wrongness, that is, from sin. A
~ George MacDonald
The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.
~ George Orwell
This, it occurred to me, this was the undisciplined human community that, fired by its dull collective wit, now drove the armed nation towards it knew-not-what sort of epic martial cataclysm: a massive flailing organism with all the rectitude and foresight of an untrained puppy.
~ George Saunders
This, it occurred to me, this was the undisciplined human community that, fired by its dull collective wit, now drove the armed nation towards it knew-not-what sort of epic martial cataclysm: a massive flailing organism with all the rectitude and foresight of an untrained puppy. --In the private letters of Albert Sloane, by permission of the Sloane family.
~ George Saunders
La vie animale est entièrement issue du mouvement des mers et, à l'intérieur des corps, la vie continue à sortir de l'eau salée.
~ Georges Bataille
The living organism, in a situation determined by the play of energy on the surface of the globe, ordinarily receives more energy than is necessary for maintaining life; the excess energy (wealth) can be used for the growth of a system (e.g., an organism); if the system can no longer grow, or if the excess cannot be completely absorbed in it's growth, it must necessarily be lost without profit; it must be spent, willingly or not, gloriously or catastrophically.
~ Georges Bataille
Chercher la maladie au niveau de la cellule c'est confondre le plan de la vie concrète où la polarité biologique fait la différence de la santé et de la maladie et le plan de la science abstraite où le problème reçoit une solution. Nous ne voulons pas dire qu'une cellule ne peut pas être malade, si par cellule on entend un tout vivant, mais nous voulons dire que la maladie d'un vivant ne loge pas dans des parties de l'organisme.
~ Georges Canguilhem
Mais il en est des états de l'organisme comme de la musique : les lois de l'acoustique ne sont pas violées dans une cacophonie, cela n'entraîne pas que toute combinaison de sons soit agréable.
~ Georges Canguilhem
A campaign is a complex organism that requires expensive parts. Finding the right parts and meshing them together into a cohesive working unit is an art in and of itself.
~ Peter Navarro
All organisms can make the most basic distinctions--between food and not-food, danger and safety, light and dark, same-species and not-same. But only people can use language to make the highly complex categorizations of, say, animals or physical forces, or however many different kinds of quarks there are now, putting them in separate piles and naming the piles. It's how we proceed; it's how we communicate. Organization into categories is, at bottom, human.
~ Scott Huler
Fear sharpens the senses. Anxiety paralyzes them. —KURT GOLDSTEIN, The Organism: A Holistic Approach to Biology (1939)
~ Scott Stossel
In its essence, language is not the utterance of an organism; nor is it the expression of a living thing. Nor can it ever be thought in an essentially correct way in terms of its symbolic character, perhaps not even in terms of the character of signification. Language is the clearing-concealing advent of Being itself.
~ Martin Heidegger
