Life on earth survives thanks to diversity, says Sekunda, because changing circumstances means today's winners can suddenly become tomorrow's losers. When the meteor hits, when the Green Revolution fails, when the bees unexpectedly die, the kind of anomalous diversity found in the Galapagos Islands - or in the technology of Japan - is exactly what will save us from the most dangerous failure of all: global success. ~ Momus
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Momus
Everyone gets that second album syndrome. ~ Niall Horan
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Niall Horan
Please don't look at our scarlet A's and write us off. Look us in the eye, talk directly to us. Don't panic or take it personally if we make mistakes, because we will. We will repeat ourselves, we will misplace things, and we will get lost. We will forget your name and what you said two minutes ago. We will also try our hardest to compensate for and overcome our cognitive losses. ~ Lisa Genova
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Lisa Genova
I noticed that you take your anger out on your guitar," I said finally. "Like, when i ate a bowl of your cereal, you went in your room and started playing like you were in Metallica or something." "Actually, it was Alice Cooper. ~ Alicia Thompson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Alicia Thompson
Technopoly is to say that its information immune system is inoperable. Technopoly is a form of cultural AIDS, which I here use as an acronym for Anti-Information Deficiency Syndrome. This is why it is possible to say almost anything without contradiction provided you begin your utterance with the words "A study has shown ... " or "Scientists now tell us that ... " More important, it is why in a Technopoly there can be no transcendent sense of purpose or meaning, no cultural coherence. Information is dangerous when it has no place to go, when there is no theory to which it applies, no pattern in which it fits, when there is no higher purpose that it serves. Alfred North Whitehead called such information "inert," but that metaphor is too passive. Information without regulation can be lethal. ~ Neil Postman
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Neil Postman
Be wary of feeling as through there is not enough room at the table. Oftentimes a female Chinese-American might feel as through she is in competition with another Chinese-American woman writer of the same generation. A writer friend of mine calls it the "There Can Only Be One ... " syndrome. This isn't "Survivor." The more good writers, of all walks of life and all ethnicities and persuasions, the better. ~ ZZ Packer
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by ZZ Packer
I am a big believer of what Darwin discovered in the Galapagos, proving that the species most responsive to change will survive over apparently stronger or more intelligent competitors. ~ John Elkann
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by John Elkann
In 1996, the artist Gunter Demnig started laying stolpersteine, or "stumbling blocks" -- cobblestone-sized, brass memorials -- in front of houses where victims of the Nazis used to live. Now in over 800 German towns and villages, they make the number of victims palpable: In some streets there are stolpersteine in front of every other house, sometimes with a single name, sometimes with the names of an entire family. On these streets it would have been glaringly obvious that some neighbors were missing: the Jewish family, the girl with Down syndrome, the homosexual, the communist. ~ Jennifer Teege
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Jennifer Teege
After a long while, Rick cleared his throat and pulled over to the side of the road. He then turned to her and said, "Amelia sweetie, a lot of problems are caused because of a lack of communication. When you try to guess what the other is thinking, then that's when you get into trouble. If we communicate, find time for one another, don't take each other for granted, and even share responsibilities, it will bring us closer."
"Share responsibilities?"
He nodded. "Sure. A man who thinks he's too good to share with the chores needs to reevaluate his relationship with his wife. ~ Linda Weaver Clarke
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Linda Weaver Clarke
Peace and beauty? You think Indians are so worried about peace and beauty? ... If Wovoka came back to life, he'd be so pissed off. If the real Pocahontas came back, you think she'd be happy about being a cartoon? If Crazy Horse, or Geronimo, or Sitting Bull came back, they'd see what you white people have done to Indians, and they'd start a war. They'd see the homeless Indians staggering around downtown. They'd see fetal-alcohol-syndrome babies. They'd see the sorry-ass reservations. They'd learn about Indian suicides and infant mortality rates. They'd listen to some dumb-ass Disney song and feel like hurting somebody. They'd read books by assholes like Wilson, and they would start killing themselves some white people, and then kill some asshole Indians too.

Dr. Mather, if the Ghost Dance worked, there would be no exceptions. All you white people would disappear. All of you. If those dead Indians came back to life ,they wouldn't crawl into a sweathouse with you. They wouldn't smoke the pipe with you. They wouldn't go to the movies and munch popcorn with you. They'd kill you. They'd gut you and eat your heart. ~ Sherman Alexie
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Sherman Alexie
This medical device gives doctors a new option for treating twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. It can help prolong the mother's pregnancy and improve the odds of survival, with reduced complications, for one or both twins. ~ Daniel Schultz
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Daniel Schultz
Lucy in the sky. Without her I am the walrus, likely to lose myself in dark gibberish and fade away." Lance Underphal, Cut-Throat Syndrome. ~ Michael Allan Scott
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Michael Allan Scott
The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now (Alzheimer's Syndrome). Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's - these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people. ~ Ron Reagan
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Ron Reagan
This phenomenon of capable people being plagued by self-doubt has a name---the impostor syndrome. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
When I became a bandit, I spent a lot of time being close to the lowliest of the low: criminals, the enslaved, deserters, men who had nothing to lose. Contrary to what I had expected, I found that they had a hardscrabble beauty and grace. They were not mean in their nature, but made mean by the meanness of their rulers. The poor were willing to endure much, but the emperor had taken everything from them.

These men have simple dreams: a plot of land, a few possessions, a warm house, conversations with friends, and a happy wife and healthy children. They remember the smallest acts of kindness and think me a good man because of a few exaggerated stories. They've raised me on their shoulders and called me duke, and I have a duty to help them get a little closer to their dreams. ~ Ken Liu
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Ken Liu
The feature article made my holy-shit-o-meter blare like a banshee ~ J.A. Saare
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by J.A. Saare
You have that syndrome that chronically sick kids get, like overdeveloped conscience syndrome," she announced.
"You made that up."
Juliet laughed. "I did. You have it though. You always feel like you're inconveniencing somebody."
"I am always inconveniencing somebody. I'm an inconvenient person."
"But you're not. We didn't ask to be born this way, Allie. The world owes you one. Not the other way around. ~ Jacquelyn Mitchard
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Jacquelyn Mitchard
I want to go skydiving. I'd love to go to the Galapagos. Nature still excites me. ~ Wayne Knight
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Wayne Knight
It's a singular sort of pain, watching the most beautiful creature self-destruct because you weren't able to find the red wire. ~ Joyce Rachelle
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Joyce Rachelle
That night Lance wants to rub his penis as he thinks of Lexi but he refrains. He doesn't want Lexi to be a masturbatory fantasy in the tradition of Cindy Crawford, Heather Locklear, Kate Hudson and Whoopi Goldberg. No. Hell no! As a matter of fact, hellll no with marshmallows on top. Lance wants Lexi to be his special lady, everything he needs and more. Lance has a gut feeling, an irritable bowel syndrome sensation, that Lexi is his Soul Mate, the one woman God made especially for him to enjoy. Lance wonders if Lexi is allergic to hyacinths. Roses are so common. ~ Misti Rainwater-Lites
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Misti Rainwater-Lites
A married guy is responsible for everything, no matter what. Women, thanks to their having been oppressed all these years, are blameless, free as birds, and all the dirt they do is the result of premenstrual syndrome or postmenstrual stress or menopause or emotional disempowerment by their fathers or low expectations by their teachers or latent unspoken sexual harassment in the workplace, or some other airy excuse. The guy alone is responsible for every day of marriage that is less than marvelous and meaningful. ~ Garrison Keillor
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Garrison Keillor
How very scared I was of everything, and in the end how very scared I was of her. This woman I knew, and did not know, and loved. ~ James Christie
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by James Christie
Mark Vink is a not a typical ME/CFS patient. He is severely ill. It takes him twelve hours to recover from a walk from his bed to the bathroom. While he's not typical he may not be that uncommon, though. Some estimates suggest that about 25% of ME/CFS patients are home bound or bedridden. Few ever make it into research studies. ~ Cort Johnson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Cort Johnson
I'm sort of obsessed with the news. That is a syndrome. But I don't watch a whole lot of TV. ~ Sam Waterston
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Sam Waterston
We may like to know the relevance of loyalty in an ever-shifting world and comprehend the essence of "commitment" in a rapidly altering relationship. In a frame of the "easy come easy go syndrome" many interpretations are brought to mind like "It was all a misunderstanding" or "I liked what the other did, but at this moment I must recognize he didn't do what I really do like". ("Was it all worthwhile?") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Some call it Down's Syndrome
I call it Up's Syndrome. ~ Chris Burke
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Chris Burke
Those close to [Patricia Highsmith], particularly her family, often commented on how Highsmith's vision of reality was a warped one. In April 1947, she transcribed into her notebook what was, presumably, a real dialogue between herself and her mother, in which Mary accused her of not facing the world. Highsmith replied that she did indeed view the world 'sideways, but since the world faces reality sideways, sideways is the only way the world can be looked at in true perspective.' The problem, Highsmith said, was that her psychic optics were different to those around her, but if that was the case, her mother replied, then she should equip herself with a pair of new spectacles. Highsmith was not convinced. 'Then I need a new birth,' she concluded. ~ Andrew Wilson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Andrew Wilson
Van Buren, like many American master-politicians since, was quite capable of combining party ruthlessness with high-mindedness. He was a political schizophrenic, admitting he abused power occasionally and vowing never to do it again (he did of course). ... American political history has since thrown up repeated exemplars of what might be called the Van Buren Syndrome --- men who could combine true zeal for the public interest with fanatical devotion to the party principle. ~ Paul Johnson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Paul Johnson
Those with Anton's syndrome are not pretending they are not blind; they truly believe they are not blind. Their verbal reports, while inaccurate, are not lies. Instead, they are experiencing what they take to be vision, but it is all internally generated. ~ David Eagleman
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by David Eagleman
It is easy to see what many people, women especially, admire about Sarah Palin. Here is a mother of five who can see the bright side of having a child with Down syndrome and still find the time and energy to govern the state of Alaska. ~ Sam Harris
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Sam Harris
For all this talk about us being a nation at war with child abuse, and for all the media hype about witch-hunts and false allegations - and don't ever let anyone use the word witch-hunts about this; there were no witches - the fact remains that in 1994, it is extremely difficult to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse. And the external forces of denial are almost overwhelming. If a case as verified as mine meets with denial, I dread to think about the experience of people who don't have the kind of corroboration that I do. And I really worry that we're getting close to a point where it's going to be impossible to prosecute child molesters, because we don't believe children, and now we don't believe adults. (Cheit "Paper presented at the Mississippi Statewide Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect" Jackson, April 29 1994.) ~ Ross Cheit
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Ross Cheit
I don't act weird because it's awesome. I act weird because i'm not used to normal people ~ Dean Mackin
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Dean Mackin
Galapagos tortoise," she said. "I'm one hundred and seven years old." "Huh. And you don't look a day over a hundred and five," I said. ~ James Patterson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by James Patterson
It was another example of a phenomenon I call "the talking dog syndrome." Some people are still amazed that any woman (this includes Governors' wives, corporate CEOs, sports stars and rock singers) can hold her own under pressure and be articulate and knowledgeable. The dog can talk! ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton
I have never had feeling in my toes. My uncle, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, once told me in confidence he had the same syndrome, leading me to believe it is genetic. ~ Ethan Coen
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Ethan Coen
As Rollin put it in his book The Frankenstein Syndrome, 'It is simply false that all genetic engineering must harm animals. Unless one assumes that all species of animals exist currently at their maximal possible state of happiness or well-being of welfare, such a claim is not legitimate. ~ Emily Anthes
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Emily Anthes
Obviously, I have no idea what it's like to carry a baby, and I never will - cheers to owning a dick. And while our metaphorical glasses are still raised in a toast to my gender, I think a 'cheers' to my ability in evading the evil curse known as Couvade Syndrome is also warranted. Clink! ~ K.M. Golland
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by K.M. Golland
When I was writing some of songs for the record in Galapagos it was the feeling of being there I wanted to evoke more than anything. I remember hearing all the parts of the songs in my mind when I was walking around over the lava fields. ~ Jonathan Meiburg
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Jonathan Meiburg
One third of managers are victims of "Information Fatigue Syndrome." 49 percent said they are unable to handle the vast amounts of information received. 33 percent of managers were suffering ill health as a direct result of information overload. 62 percent admitted their business and social relationships suffer. 66 percent reported tension with colleagues and diminished job satisfaction. 43 percent think that important decisions are delayed and their abilities to make decisions are affected as a result of having too much information. (Reuters's "Dying for Business" report) ~ Jeff Davidson
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Jeff Davidson
Nationalism is pimped-out bigotry, designed to provoke a Stockholm Syndrome in the livestock. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Stefan Molyneux
Statism is a mental disorder, much akin to Stockholm Syndrome. ~ Dane Whalen
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Dane Whalen
Penny Googled "imposter syndrome."

Informally used to describe people who are unable to internalize their accomplishments despite external evidence of their competence. ~ Mary H.K. Choi
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Mary H.K. Choi
Simply put, within AS, there is a wide range of function. In truth, many AS people will never receive a diagnosis. They will continue to live with other labels or no label at all. At their best, they will be the eccentrics who wow us with their unusual habits and stream-of-consciousness creativity, the inventors who give us wonderfully unique gadgets that whiz and whirl and make our life surprisingly more manageable, the geniuses who discover new mathematical equations, the great musicians and writers and artists who enliven our lives. At their most neutral, they will be the loners who never now quite how to greet us, the aloof who aren't sure they want to greet us, the collectors who know everyone at the flea market by name and date of birth, the non-conformists who cover their cars in bumper stickers, a few of the professors everyone has in college. At their most noticeable, they will be the lost souls who invade our personal space, the regulars at every diner who carry on complete conversations with the group ten tables away, the people who sound suspiciously like robots, the characters who insist they wear the same socks and eat the same breakfast day in and day out, the people who never quite find their way but never quite lose it either. ~ Liane Holliday Willey
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Liane Holliday Willey
My colors ran all over the page, poured out of the lines and meshed together to form colors no one had yet recognized. I was different–unique, bold, strong, smart, and hard-headed. I was simply me. ~ Jeannie Davide-Rivera
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Jeannie Davide-Rivera
Vacation syndrome is dangerously seductive. You actually believe that this magical place you have come to allows you to be the contented, stress-free person you really are. There's a lot of vacation syndrome in Paris. ~ Walter Wells
Galapagos Syndrome quotes by Walter Wells
Caleb could be so testy for no known reason. At times, it was like dating a woman with irritable bowel syndrome. Or rabies. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
