Quotes About Formulations

It takes time to reach the perfect shade and formulations. That's something that's in the science.
~ Pat McGrath
Premature formulations based on a vision of reality that has been artificially censored to exclude data that fall outside the personal philosophy of the investigator must lead to dead-end conclusions.
~ Adam Crabtree
It is important to reclaim for humanity the ground that has been taken from it by various arbitrarily narrow formulations of the demands of rationality
~ Amartya Sen
Without the discovery of uniformities there can be no concepts, no classifications, no formulations, no principles, no laws; and without these no science can exist.
~ Clyde Kluckhohn
There is no difference between science and art when it comes to creativeness, productiveness, to come to conclusions and to formulations.
~ Josef Albers
At the present time... we certainly do not know all the laws of nature, and it is a good bet that most of our current formulations of those laws will be revised in the future. Yet the great majority of scientists believe that a complete and final set of laws governing all physical phenomena exists, and that we are making continual progress toward discovery of those laws.
~ Alan Lightman
It was one of those pointless arguments you enter without any strong formulations, but then, by dint of the opening parry, find yourself heatedly defending a position in which you don't really believe, yet from which you can no longer withdraw.
~ Don Lee
Most of the time she preferred to be sardonically out of line, out of step. To sound harsher than she was. Which fooled nobody, strangely enough. People saw through her tough-guy routine, even liked her for it, and the cruder her formulations, the harder she tried to be this radical alienated individual, the more profoundly she was loved.
~ Salman Rushdie
It is important to reclaim for humanity the ground that has been taken from it by various arbitrarily narrow formulations of the demands of rationality
~ Amartya Sen
The fallacy that passes for truth by the mere frequency of its repetition is a particular peril for lawyers working in the common-law system. Like all men and women, we are comfortable with familiar formulations, and in addition are trained to follow what has been said before. It is sometimes worth pausing to consider whether it has been said aright.
~ Antonin Scalia
The distinction between the old and the new formulations consisting in the incorporation of the concept of the rate of chemical reactions is so great that it immediately asserted itself in the objective development of catalysis.
~ Wilhelm Ostwald
The Arabs always seem to accept yesterday's formulations too late
~ Michael B. Oren
It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent.
~ Richard P. Feynman
The broad use of state in Hegelese presents translation problems. Marx's early formulations, in the Hegelian spirit, often come close to counterposing the state concept (the ideal state) against what we would now understand by the term.
~ Hal Draper
Modern formulations are necessary even in defense of very ancient truths. Not because of any alleged anachronism in the old ideas – the Beatitudes remain the essential statements of the Western code – but because the idiom of life is always changing
~ William F. Buckley Jr.
Chocolate making is an art as well as a science, and chocolate makers keep secret the roasting temperatures used, the time given to "conching", and the exact proportions of their formulations, which is why no two manufacturers' chocolates taste the same.
~ Unknown
the agrochemical industry "sets up the public for mass poisoning" by concealing the true toxicity of their chemical formulations and by focusing solely on the risks associated with the active ingredient in their formulations.
~ Jim Marrs
Other gnostic texts, particularly Valentinian texts, incorporate significant references to the crucifixion of Jesus and reiterate more familiar Christological and soteriological formulations, but they often interpret the crucifixion in a more symbolic fashion. In these texts the emphasis is not upon a doctrine of atonement through the death of Jesus on the cross, and there is no sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of the world.
~ Unknown
Together, the two suppliers had the salt, which was processed in dozens of ways to maximize the jolt that taste buds would feel with the very first bite; they had the fats, which delivered the biggest loads of calories and worked more subtly in inducing people to overeat; and they had the sugar, whose raw power in exciting the brain made it perhaps the most formidable ingredient of all, dictating the formulations of products from one side of the grocery store to the other.
~ Michael Moss
pharmacopoeia of drugs, hormones, and proscribed viral vectors.
~ Peter F. Hamilton
