when you allow that man. to walk through your children. plant his feet. in their veins. hold their voices. necks. bodies. inside his violence. you are no longer a mother. when you give him the key to that door. because you need to be loved by someone. you have seasoned them for the wolf. burned their childhood into a fantasy. it's going to take a third of their lives. all the courage. from their cells to their hair. to learn the alchemetic formula that turns that kind of betrayal. a demothering. soft. liveable. – before you get that key made ~ Nayyirah Waheed
Mosteller Formula quotes by Nayyirah Waheed
Here's my formula: I usually start with a joke or story to catch the audience's attention; then I tell them what I am going to tell them, I tell them, and then I tell them what I just told them. ~ Ronald Reagan
Mosteller Formula quotes by Ronald Reagan
Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity. ~ Daniel Burrus
Mosteller Formula quotes by Daniel Burrus
Gen X wanted to succeed at this so she could tell people she did it, and little Gen Z wanted me to hand over that goddamn formula, and she was willing to scream until she got it. ~ Tina Fey
Mosteller Formula quotes by Tina Fey
Small wonder that spell means both a story told, and a formula of power over living men. -On Fairy Stories ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Mosteller Formula quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Free spirits, the ambitious, ex-socialists, drug users, and sexual eccentrics often find an attractive political philosophy in libertarianism, the idea that individual freedom should be the sole rule of ethics and government. Libertarianism offers its believers a clear conscience to do things society presently restrains, like make more money, have more sex, or take more drugs. It promises a consistent formula for ethics, a rigorous framework for policy analysis, a foundation in American history, and the application of capitalist efficiencies to the whole of society. But while it contains substantial grains of truth, as a whole it is a seductive mistake. . . .

The most fundamental problem with libertarianism is very simple: freedom, though a good thing, is simply not the only good thing in life. . . .

Libertarians try to get around this fact that freedom is not the only good thing by trying to reduce all other goods to it through the concept of choice, claiming that everything that is good is so because we choose to partake of it. Therefore freedom, by giving us choice, supposedly embraces all other goods. But this violates common sense by denying that anything is good by nature, independently of whether we choose it. . . .

So even if the libertarian principle of "an it harm none, do as thou wilt," is true, it does not license the behavior libertarians claim. Consider pornography: libertarians say it should be permitted because if someone doesn ~ Robert Locke
Mosteller Formula quotes by Robert Locke
The formula for success is simple: deliver today, adapt tomorrow. ~ Jim Highsmith
Mosteller Formula quotes by Jim Highsmith
Just when our understanding of God finally appears to have fallen comfortably into our childlike formulas, God lets us know that He's not two things; a child or a formula. ~ Craig D Lounsbrough
Mosteller Formula quotes by Craig D Lounsbrough
TO be racing in Formula One with Mclaren has been the ultimate goal for me. It's a dream come true. ~ Lewis Hamilton
Mosteller Formula quotes by Lewis Hamilton
The experts spent a great deal of time and study working out a formula which would be fair to every State and fair to every county and fair to every child, and would put the education dollar where that dollar is needed most, now. ~ Lyndon B. Johnson
Mosteller Formula quotes by Lyndon B. Johnson
Intelligence seems not to originate from some outlandish formula, but rather from the patient, almost brute force use of simple, straightforward algorithms. It ~ Ethem Alpaydin
Mosteller Formula quotes by Ethem Alpaydin
Films like 'Babel' can transcend the one point-of-view formula that has reigned for so long. ~ Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Mosteller Formula quotes by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
I think that G-O-D is like the answer to a formula for creating life. ~ Debbie Harry
Mosteller Formula quotes by Debbie Harry
My belief is that, morally, God and Satan are vaguely on the same page. According to the common understanding of Satan's origins, 'holiness' is, metaphorically, frozen stiff in his veins: and at that a corrupted formula - i.e. legalism. The vital difference is that God is willing to offer grace for our sins; he delights in grace. God is the one and only holy and just punisher of sin, yes, but that is partly so because punishment for the sake of punishment is not something he loves. Whereas Satan, as the accuser, and as it is written, actually seeks God's permission to punish; he, being a seasoned legalist, delights in finding wrongs and will defy his own morality just to expose immorality. This is why both the anti-religious soul and the violently religious soul are, whether consciously or unconsciously, and sadly enough, glorifying their biggest hater: Satan is not only a lawless lover of punishing lawlessness, but also the sharpest theologian of us all. He loves wickedness, but only because he loves punishing wickedness. ~ Criss Jami
Mosteller Formula quotes by Criss Jami
It wasn't an easy decision to leave out Bobo, because I could have done that with two or three from the back four. But there's a limit to the players you have and the changes you can make. The reality is we're not defending well enough. But we just have to plug on. There's no magic formula. ~ Gordon Strachan
Mosteller Formula quotes by Gordon Strachan
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody. ~ Herbert Bayard Swope
Mosteller Formula quotes by Herbert Bayard Swope
The entire history of baby formula has been the history of one overlooked nutrient after another ... and still to this day babies fed on the most "nutritionally complete" formula fail to do as
well as babies fed human milk. Even more than margarine, formula stands as the ultimate test product of nutritionism and a fair index of its hubris. ~ Michael Pollan
Mosteller Formula quotes by Michael Pollan
My formula for success is rise early, work late, and strike oil. ~ J. Paul Getty
Mosteller Formula quotes by J. Paul Getty
Those who would like to become writers attend courses on writing poetry and prose and analyze their own work and that of other writers in development. Teachers teach them that talent is not required and that anyone, who wants to be a writer, can do it if they only master the technique of writing and master the formulas of the genre that they choose. With a little brain storming ideas written on cards, as well as designs and plans on the table, one can even write a novel in a month. There is no secret; the whole secret is in the technique, a little research, and the rest is solved by form, according to a formula, in which it is all nicely wrapped up and packaged.
And so, a bestseller is born. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
Mosteller Formula quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
So a)To what extent might human relationships be expressed in a mathematical or logical formula? And b) If so, what signs might be placed between the integers? Plus and minus, self- evidently; sometimes multiplication, and yes. division. But these signs are limited. Thus an entirely failed relationship might be expressed in terms of both loss/minus and division/ reduction, showing a total zero; whereas an entirely successful one can be represented by both addition and multiplication. But what of most relationships? Do they not require to be expressed in notations which are logically insoluble? ~ Julian Barnes
Mosteller Formula quotes by Julian Barnes
The combination of Federalism and Republicanism which formed the substance of the system, did not constitute a progressive and formative political principle, but it pointed in the direction of a constructive formula. ~ Herbert Croly
Mosteller Formula quotes by Herbert Croly
There is nothing opposed in Biometry and Mendelism. Your husband and I worked that out at Peppards [on the Chilterns] and you will see it referred in the Biometrika memoir. The Mendelian formula leads up to the 'ancestral law'. What we fought against was the slovenliness in applying Mendel's categories and asserting that such formulae apply in cases when they did not. ~ Karl Pearson
Mosteller Formula quotes by Karl Pearson
What is your probability of winning twice the New Jersey lottery? One in 17 trillion. Yet it happened to Evelyn Adams, whom the reader might guess should feel particularly chosen by destiny. Using the method we developed above, Harvard's Percy Diaconis and Frederick Mosteller estimated at 30 to 1 the probability that someone, somewhere, in a totally unspecified way, gets so lucky! ~ Fooled By Randomness Nassim Taleb
Mosteller Formula quotes by Fooled By Randomness Nassim Taleb
Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy. ~ Jet Li
Mosteller Formula quotes by Jet Li
If we want to reach them, our articulation of the problem has to avoid ascribing personal evil to them, while also being uncompromising in describing the dynamics of the problem. I cannot offer a formula for how to do this. The right words and strategies arise naturally from compassion: from the understanding that the bankers or whoever do as I would do, were I in their shoes. In other words, compassionate - and effective - words arise from a deeply felt realization of our common humanity. And this is possible only to the extent to which we have applied the same to ourselves. Truly, to be an effective activist requires an equivalent inner activism. ~ Charles Eisenstein
Mosteller Formula quotes by Charles Eisenstein
A pleasing personality helps you win friends and influence people. Add character to that formula, and keep those friends and maintain that influence. ~ Zig Ziglar
Mosteller Formula quotes by Zig Ziglar
There is no formula when it comes to gender and sexuality. Yet it is often only people whose gender identity and/or sexual orientation negates society's heteronormative and cisnormative standards who are targets of stigma, discrimination, and violence. I wish that instead of investing in these hierarchies of what's right and who's wrong, what's authentic and who's not, and ranking people according to these rigid standards that ignore diversity in our genders and sexualities, we gave people freedom and resources to define, determine, and declare who they are. ~ Janet Mock
Mosteller Formula quotes by Janet Mock
The problem is Twitter is designing the metaphorical equivalent of a Toyota Prius. A car for the masses. While I want a Formula One race car. ~ Robert Scoble
Mosteller Formula quotes by Robert Scoble
All you have to do is to make it your business to find out what people want ~ instead of assuming it, instead of telling them.
The one rule that sums up the job to be done ~ the one formula that is fully in harmony with the real world ~ the secret of success is:
Find out what people want and help them get it! ~ Harry Browne
Mosteller Formula quotes by Harry Browne
Their pursuits were by now so mysterious to one another that neither showed surprise at anything the other did or said, each, in fact, depending more and more heavily on the other for encouragement, an arrangement somewhat similar to that magic formula of modern marriage, whose parties are encouraged by disapprobation and disinterest respectively. ~ William Gaddis
Mosteller Formula quotes by William Gaddis
The cornerstone of the purity myth is the expectation that girls and women, in particular, will be utterly and absolutely nonsexual until the day they marry a man, at which point they will naturally and easily become his sexual satisfier, ensuring the couple will have children and never divorce: one man, one woman, in marriage, forever.

For this formula to work, my girlfriends and I knew we had to follow a slew of rules. Unfortunately, none of us knew what they were. ~ Linda Kay Klein
Mosteller Formula quotes by Linda Kay Klein
Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it ... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally. ~ Alexander Payne
Mosteller Formula quotes by Alexander Payne
Ode to Algebra
Thrust into this dingy classroom
we die like lampless moths
locked into the desolation of
fluorescent lights and metal desks.
Ten minutes until the bell rings.
What use is the quadratic formula
in our daily lives?
Can we use it to unlock the secrets
in the hearts of those we love?
Five minutes until the bell rings.
Cruel Algebra teacher,
won't you let us go? ~ Meg Cabot
Mosteller Formula quotes by Meg Cabot
In television the democratization of knowledge and its pedagogical commercial exuberance have become one. Consider from the end of the nineties such BBC history shows as Surviving the Iron Age or The Ship: Retracing Cook's Endeavor Voyage - each shown 2001.... All these shows recruit volunteers who are put into environments conspicuously uncomfortable.... An emphasis on participants' surprise at the difficulties of daily life and a previously unexamined and thus taken for granted assumption of physical comfort is the formula for melodrama in these kinds of shows.... All of them are one part soap opera, one part period recreation - and with folks from our time who invite audience identification as "us," viewers mentally enacting too, playing at, reenacting, shadowing, experimenting, speculating, trying to provide evidence for, various understandings of varying pasts.... "Science" and all it stands for - knowledges broadly understood or our everyday knowledge-managed technologies - are especially lively players in the action.... ~ Katie King
Mosteller Formula quotes by Katie  King
What you don't want is to repeat a formula over and over or impose a formula to a movie that ... when you impose yourself and you impose a formula and you're not open to explore and to find what is right for the movie, I think you're doing a disservice to the story and what you're trying to express. ~ Emmanuel Lubezki
Mosteller Formula quotes by Emmanuel Lubezki
The whole point is, give me a break with the standards. You go to the average jazz label and suggest a record and they want to know which standards you're going to play. I'm saying let's break the formula. ~ Branford Marsalis
Mosteller Formula quotes by Branford Marsalis
Why can't music be magic? Aren't spells just words you repeat? And what are songs? Lyrics that play over and over again. The words are like a formula." All ~ Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Mosteller Formula quotes by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car. ~ Murray Walker
Mosteller Formula quotes by Murray Walker
There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you're too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else's situation as you are about your own. ~ Morrie Schwartz.
Mosteller Formula quotes by Morrie Schwartz.
The basic formula of life... SURVIVE. EAT. SHIT. FUCK. BUY A HOUSE and DIE. It's all been scripted. But there's no need to see the second act. You already know how the play ends, don't you? ~ Andrew Armacost
Mosteller Formula quotes by Andrew Armacost
The art of music is good, for the reason, among others, that it produces pleasure; but what proof is it possible to give that pleasure is good? If, then, it is asserted that there is a comprehensive formula, including all things which are in themselves good, and that whatever else is good, is not so as an end, but as a mean, the formula may be accepted or rejected, but is not a subject of what is commonly understood by proof. ~ John Stuart Mill
Mosteller Formula quotes by John Stuart Mill
My wife is used to Formula One, and she understands the life. ~ Romain Grosjean
Mosteller Formula quotes by Romain Grosjean
You see... the cave is a metaphor, a tool, an illustration. The formula for its accurate representation is something like S2=(2^2)+1. As I just pasted that formula into this document I realized I do not speak math and therefore could not read that formula aloud were I ever in a situation like a reading where I would need to say the formula out loud. I don't know what S means or what S2 equals, nor do I know how to pronounce that little upside-down V between the pair of 2s. If you speak math, then you know what it means. ~ Christopher Higgs
Mosteller Formula quotes by Christopher Higgs
It's not the way they taught us. They didn't know the formula for love. One plus one actually equals one. 1+1=1. ~ Kate McGahan
Mosteller Formula quotes by Kate McGahan
Blind people are the best audience; they will be treated according to the formula; it's easy to excite them; it's easy to wake them up from a dream in which they dull, mute and helpless, await excitement - another product of the plastic reality, another star-studded name. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
Mosteller Formula quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
The formula is the star. I couldn't work inside that formula. ~ Dianne Wiest
