At first blush I am tempted to conclude that a satisfactory hobby must be in large degree useless, inefficient, laborious, or irrelevant. ~ Aldo Leopold
Myopia quotes by Aldo Leopold
As far as I'm concerned, it's a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity. ~ Hunter S. Thompson
Myopia quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Wake up, folks, wake up! As intimidated as you are by the fear of going against the stream and looking racist (a grossly erroneous word, by the way, because the problem has nothing to do with a race: it has to do with a religion) you don't understand or don't want to understand that a Reverse Crusade is on the march. As blinded as you are by the myopia and the stupidity of the Politically Correct, you don't realize or don't want to realize that a war of religion is being carried out. A war they call Jihad. … A war which is conducted to destroy our civilization, our ways of living and dying, or praying or not praying, of eating and drinking and dressing and studying and enjoying Life. ~ Oriana Fallaci
Myopia quotes by Oriana Fallaci
He had no ideal world of dead heroes; he knew little of the life of men in the past; he must find the beings to whom he could cling with loving admiration among those who came within speech of him. ~ George Eliot
Myopia quotes by George Eliot
Human myopia cannot be overcome simply by well-meaning attempts to build [climate] models that purport to peer decades and centuries ahead. Action taken now, in anticipation of supposed long run trends, may concentrate on the wrong issues and make matters worse rather than better. ~ Colin Robinson
Myopia quotes by Colin Robinson
Man can no more see the world than a fish can see the river bank. ~ Remy De Gourmont
Myopia quotes by Remy De Gourmont
Prayer helps correct myopia, calling to mind a perspective I daily forget. I keep reversing roles, thinking of ways in which God should serve me, rather than vice versa. As God fiercely reminded Job, the Lord of the universe has many things to manage, and in the midst of my self-pity I would do well to contemplate for a moment God's own point of view. ~ Philip Yancey
Myopia quotes by Philip Yancey
anxiety due to environmental stress is a major cause of myopia. Gottlieb ~ Jacob Liberman
Myopia quotes by Jacob Liberman
The future lay before him, inevitable but invisible. ~ John Green
Myopia quotes by John Green
One of the illnesses that often afflicts leaders is myopia. We begin to think that the story we are living and writing is the story. We become laser focused on our own goals, accomplishments, and responsibilities. But a habit of faith takes the pressure off. It reminds you that there is a bigger story of which yours is only one part. It allows us to stop worrying about what others are saying about us and instead consider what God might be saying to us. ~ Brad Lomenick
Myopia quotes by Brad Lomenick
One of the most infuriating elements of American myopia about investing in at-risk kids is that politicians often insist that they don't have the funds to pay for social services, but they somehow find the resources to pay for prisons later on. Republican lawmakers don't want to pay for $500 IUDs for low-income women, so they pay $17,000 for Medicaid births. They don't want to pay to reduce lead poisoning, even though that means paying for special education classes for years to come. ~ Nicholas D. Kristof And Sheryl WuDunn
Myopia quotes by Nicholas D. Kristof And Sheryl WuDunn
This gorgeous financial myopia was common in the Valley, and one of the chief sources of its success. ~ Michael Lewis
Myopia quotes by Michael Lewis
How is it that people look at the same city and see such very different places? The answer lies in history, or, more accurately, in how people have chosen to remember the past. The habit of regarding culture and nature as binary categories has shaped how we view cities and their dynamic environments. The result is a kind of intellectual myopia in which 'history is experienced as nostalgia and nature as regret--as a horizon fast disappearing behind us. ~ Matthew Klingle
Myopia quotes by Matthew Klingle
Faith, unaccompanied by rigorous skepticism, is a recipe for myopia and foolishness. ~ Joe Klein
Myopia quotes by Joe Klein
Despite the prominence that "magic bullets" and "wonder drugs" hold in the layman's mind, most of the really decisive battles in the war against infectious disease consisted of measures to eliminate disease organisms from the environment. An example from history concerns the great outbreak of cholera in London more than one hundred years ago. A London physician, John Snow, mapped occurrence of cases and found they originated in one area, all of whose inhabitants drew their water from one pump located on Broad Street. In a swift and decisive practice of preventative medicine, Dr. Snow removed the handle from the pump. The epidemic was thereby brought under control - not by a magic pill that killed the (then unknown) organism of cholera, but by eliminating the organism from the environment. ~ Rachel Carson
Myopia quotes by Rachel Carson
That thing over there was more there than it's there!
Yes, sometimes I cry about the perfect body that doesn't exist.
But the perfect body is the bodiest body there can be,
And the rest are the dreams men have,
The myopia of someone who doesn't look very much, ~ Alberto Caeiro
Myopia quotes by Alberto Caeiro
The intricate and different life cycles of both male and female root-heads, and the great behavioral sophistication shown by the female in reconfiguring a host crab as a support system, all underscore the myopia of our conventional wisdom in regarding rhizocephalans as degenerate parasites because the adult anatomy of internal roots and external sac seem so simple. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Myopia quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
Her father was stern. Her father disapproved. Her father had very strong reservations...Half Belgian, half Persian, staunch British conservative, he'd seen the Himalayas and Harrogate and had chosen accountancy. ~ Ali Smith
Myopia quotes by Ali Smith
Arthur Schlesinger admits that JFK "succumbed to the fake omniscience of insiders". Prolonged immersion in the self-contained, self-justifying world of clandestinity and deception erodes the reality principle. ~ Garry Wills
Myopia quotes by Garry Wills
It seems sometimes that people take a deliberately myopic and fill their eyes with things seen microscopically in order not to see macrosopically. ~ Marilyn Frye
Myopia quotes by Marilyn Frye
The presence of some serious budgetary myopia is obvious here, as the vast majority of money is spent on studying diseases and virtually none is spent on understanding why healthy people are healthy in the first place. ~ Richard Matthews
Myopia quotes by Richard Matthews
Myopia, in more than ninety-five percent of cases, begins between five and ten years of age. It increases largely because the myopic eye is given a minus lens. ~ Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Myopia quotes by Anders Fogh Rasmussen
There will be no room, here, for the smug myopia which views American civilization as the final solution to all world problems; which recommends our institutions for universal adoption and turns away with contempt from the serious study of the institutions of peoples whose civilizations may seem to us to be materially less advanced. ~ George F. Kennan
Myopia quotes by George F. Kennan
I'm not actually sure that actors or artists should be allowed to have a family, because the focus you need, the egotism, the myopia, is just taking away from the relationship. ~ John Rhys-Davies
Myopia quotes by John Rhys-Davies
Business is all about focus. But with focus comes myopia and to conquer that, I come in to shake things up. To be invited as a keynote speaker is to have a license to interfere and interrupt. ~ Magnus
Myopia quotes by Magnus
There is no question that the male metaphors heavily outnumber the feminine ones, but the latter are sufficiently numerous and well drawn that their consistent neglect and trivialization in the theological and homiletic tradition can only be attributed to androcentric myopia and patriarchal self-interest. Men have controlled both theology and ministry, and the story of God they have told is the one which they wanted to hear as well as the one which kept them in power. ~ Sandra M Schneiders
Myopia quotes by Sandra M Schneiders
Happy are those who live under a discipline which they accept without question, who freely obey the orders of leaders, spiritual or temporal, whose word is fully accepted as unbreakable law; or those who have, by their own methods, arrived at clear and unshakeable convictions about what to do and what to be that brook no possible doubt. I can only say that those who rest on such comfortable beds of dogma are victims of forms of self-induced myopia, blinkers that may make for contentment, but not for understanding of what it is to be human. ~ Isaiah Berlin
Myopia quotes by Isaiah Berlin
The second illusion is historical myopia: the closer an era is to our vantage point in the present, the more details we can make out. Historical myopia can afflict both common sense and professional history. The cognitive psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman have shown that people intuitively estimate relative frequency using a shortcut called the availability heuristic: the easier it is to recall examples of an event, the more probable people think it is.10 People, for example, overestimate the likelihoods of the kinds of accidents that make headlines, such as plane crashes, shark attacks, and terrorist bombings, and they underestimate those that pile up unremarked, like electrocutions, falls, and drownings. ~ Steven Pinker
Myopia quotes by Steven Pinker
The French political class has been relentlessly myopic, if not completely blind, about the concerns of those who work and mine and farm. .... To cite Eugene Weber, "One thing that we learn from history is that people seldom learn from history. ~ Ronald Rosbottom
Myopia quotes by Ronald Rosbottom
From our myopia arose our dystopia. ~ Anthony Marais
Myopia quotes by Anthony Marais
Most of us suffer from a kind of myopia. We see only the things that fit in with our beliefs about the world. ~ T. J. MacGregor
Myopia quotes by T. J. MacGregor
All he really knew was that if he stayed here he would soon be the property of things that buzzed and snorted and hissed, that gave off fumes or stenches. In six months, he would be the owner of a large pink, trained ulcer, a blood pressure of algebraic dimensions, a myopia this side of blindness, and nightmares as deep as oceans and infested with improbable lengths of dream intestines through which he must violently force his way each night. ~ Ray Bradbury
Myopia quotes by Ray Bradbury
Inclusivity means including all. We have enough opportunities to ensure all categories of people are accommodated but those who run the government never see beyond their noses and last name. This' why village enterprises remain in the village. ~ DON SANTO
Myopia quotes by DON SANTO
Americans suffer from mono-lingual myopia - a disease of the tongue that affects the vision. ~ Tom Brewster
Myopia quotes by Tom Brewster
To those who think them selves strong, force always seems the easiest solution. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Myopia quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
I know now that a writer cannot afford to give in to feelings of rage, disgust, or contempt. Did you answer someone in a temper? If so, you didn't hear him out and lost track of his system of opinions. You avoided someone out of disgust - and a completely unknown personality slipped out of your ken - precisely the type you would have needed someday. But, however tardily, I nonetheless caught myself and realized I had always devoted my time and attention to people who fascinated me and were pleasant, who engaged my sympathy, and that as a result I was seeing society like the Moon, always from one side. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Myopia quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
