Or perhaps that's just me assigning subterranean levels to every goddamn breath he takes. ~ Mackenzi Lee
Percy Newton quotes by Mackenzi Lee
Science sees signs; Poetry, the thing signified.
Co-author with his brother Julius Hare. ~ Augustus William Hare
Percy Newton quotes by Augustus William Hare
And others came ... Desires and Adorations,
Winged Persuasions and veil'd Destinies,
Splendours, and Glooms, and glimmering Incarnations
Of hopes and fears, and twilight Phantasies;
And Sorrow, with her family of Sighs,
And Pleasure, blind with tears, led by the gleam
Of her own dying smile instead of eyes,
Came in slow pomp; the moving pomp might seem
Like pageantry of mist on an autumnal stream. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Heroism is no extempore work of transient impulse
a rocket rushing fretfully up to disturb the darkness by which, after a moment's insulting radiance, it is ruthlessly swallowed up,
but a steady fire, which darts forth tongues of flame. It is no sparkling epigram of action, but a luminous epic of character. ~ Edwin Percy Whipple
Percy Newton quotes by Edwin Percy Whipple
When the thing did not explode, Polybotes bent down cautiously and picked it up.
He roared in outrage. "A Ding Dong? You dare insult me with a Ding Dong? ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Age cannot Love destroy, But perfidy can blast the flower, Even when in most unwary hour It blooms in Fancy's bower. Age cannot Love destroy, But perfidy can rend the shrine In which its vermeil splendours shine. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Great scientific minds, from Claudius Ptolemy of the second century to Isaac Newton of the seventeenth, invested their formidable intellects in attempts to deduce the nature of the universe from the statements and philosophies contained in religious writings ... Had any of these efforts worked, science and religion today might be one and the same. But they are not. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Percy Newton quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Last question: will I really get zapped by lightning if I call Zeus's Fist the 'Poop Pile'?
PJ: Only one way to find out!
NDA: Go ahead, kid! I'm sure my dad would love to meet you.
AC: Percy! Nico!
PJ and NDA: Anna-be-eth! ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
There is no pain on this earth like seeing the same woman look at another man the way she once looked at you. ~ Walker Percy
Percy Newton quotes by Walker Percy
It belongs to a philosophical critic to distinguish rather than confound ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defence Of Poetry
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defence Of Poetry
Mostly they're harmless, but I've never seen them so agitated." "They're staring at me," Percy said. "That ghost kid called me Greggus. My name isn't Greg." "Graecus," Hazel said. "Once you've been here awhile, you'll start understanding Latin. Demigods have a natural sense for it. Graecus means Greek. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
In the first case it emerges that the evidence that might refute a theory can often be unearthed only with the help of an incompatible alternative: the advice (which goes back to Newton and which is still popular today) to use alternatives only when refutations have already discredited the orthodox theory puts the cart before the horse. Also, some of the most important formal properties of a theory are found by contrast, and not by analysis. A scientist who wishes to maximize the empirical content of the views he holds and who wants to understand them as clearly as he possibly can must therefore introduce other views; that is, he must adopt a pluralistic methodology. He must compare ideas with other ideas rather than with 'experience' and he must try to improve rather than discard the views that have failed in the competition. Proceeding in this way he will retain the theories of man and cosmos that are found in Genesis, or in the Pimander, he will elaborate them and use them to measure the success of evolution and other 'modern' views. He may then discover that the theory of evolution is not as good as is generally assumed and that it must be supplemented, or entirely replaced, by an improved version of Genesis. Knowledge so conceived is not a series of self-consistent theories that converges towards an ideal view; it is not a gradual approach to truth. It is rather an ever increasing ocean of mutually incompatible alternatives, each single theory, each fairy-tale, each myth ~ Paul Karl Feyerabend
Percy Newton quotes by Paul Karl Feyerabend
And bid them love each other and be blest:
And leave the troop which errs, and which reproves,
And come and be my guest, - for I am Love's. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Beckendorf closed eyes tight and brought his hand up to his watch.
from that distance, the explosion shook the world. Heat seared the back of my head. The Princess Andromeda blew up from both sides, a massive fireball of
green flame roiling into the dark sky, consuming everything ... I stared out the window into deep blue water. Beckendorf was supposed to go to college in the fall. He had a girlfriend, lots of friends, his whole life ahead of him. He couldn't be gone. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
That was so completely unfair that I told Tantalus to go chase a donut, which didn't help his mood. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark. ~ John Newton
Percy Newton quotes by John Newton
What does a man live for but to have a girl, use his mind, practice his trade, drink a drink, read a book, and watch the martins wing it for the Amazon and the three-fingered sassafras turn red in October?
Art Immelmann is right. Man is not made for suffering, night sweats, and morning terrors. ~ Walker Percy
Percy Newton quotes by Walker Percy
She was still getting organized, trying to get the books she'd taken out to fit into the shelf under the stroller. She would shove a book in, and then something, a juice cup, a Binky, or one disturbing Barbie-doll head, would fall out the other side. She would shove that back in, and then something else would leak out the other side. Her stroller was like a poorly designed clown car.
I went over and helped. It was a good thing spatial relations were a strength of mine, because it required the geometry skills of Newton to get everything slotted into place. ~ Eileen Cook
Percy Newton quotes by Eileen Cook
To have a purpose that is worthwhile, and that is steadily being accomplished, that is one of the secrets of life that is worth living. ~ Herbert Newton Casson
Percy Newton quotes by Herbert Newton Casson
I do not mind at all that [Newton] is not a Cartesian provided he does not offer us suppositions like that of attraction. ~ Christiaan Huygens
Percy Newton quotes by Christiaan Huygens
The wind blowing through my ripped clothes was so cold that I felt like a Percysicle. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Men educate each other in reason by contact or collision, and keep each other sane by the very conflict of their separate hobbies. Society as a whole is the deadly enemy of the particular crotchet of each, and solitude is almost the only condition in which the acorn of conceit can grow to the oak of perfect self-delusion. ~ Edwin Percy Whipple
Percy Newton quotes by Edwin Percy Whipple
Percy: I'll walk down to the cabins and Connor and Travis are stealing stuff from the camp store, and Silena is arguing with Annabeth trying to give her a new makeover, and Clarisse is still sticking the new kids' head into the toilets. It's nice that some things never change. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Grover murmured, "Well, Percy, what have we learned today?"
That three-headed dogs prefer red rubber balls over sticks?"
No," Grover told me. "We've learned that your plans really, really bite! ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
He who gives while he lives, get to know where it goes. ~ Percy Ross
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Ross
The best advice I can give you: Look unto Jesus, beholding his beauty in the written word. ~ John Newton
Percy Newton quotes by John Newton
It would be nice to garner new fans and make it a success - and success is relevant, we already know all that. ~ Juice Newton
Percy Newton quotes by Juice Newton
We are born into this world with clenched fists, we leave it with fingers apart- preaching the lesson that you take nothing with you. ~ Ethel Percy Andrus
Percy Newton quotes by Ethel Percy Andrus
Do we, mad as we all are after riches, hear often enough from the pulpit the spirit of those words in which Dean Swift, in his epitaph on the affluent and profligate Colonel Chartres, announces the small esteem of wealth in the eyes of God, from the fact of His thus lavishing it upon the meanest and basest of His creatures? ~ Edwin Percy Whipple
Percy Newton quotes by Edwin Percy Whipple
We're fresh out of flying boys. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Socrates said, our only knowledge was
"To know that nothing could be known;" a pleasant
Science enough, which levels to an ass
Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present.
Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas!
Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent,
That he himself felt only "like a youth
Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth." ~ Lord Byron
Percy Newton quotes by Lord Byron
Desires must be fuelled with discipline ~ Henrietta Newton Martin
Percy Newton quotes by Henrietta Newton Martin
To hope til Hope creates from its own wreak the thing it contemplates; ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Institutions work this way. A son is murdered by the police, and nothing is done. The institutions send the victim's family on a merry-go-round, going from one agency to another, until they wear out and give up. this is a very effective way to beat down poor and oppressed people, who do not have the time to prosecute their cases. Time is money to poor people. To go to Sacramento means loss of a day's pay - often a loss of job. If this is a democracy, obviously it is a bourgeois democracy limited to the middle and upper classes. Only they can afford to participate in it. ~ Huey Newton
Percy Newton quotes by Huey Newton
It will make you powerful. But it will also make you weak. Your prowess in combat will be beyond any mortal's, but your weaknesses, your failings will increase as well."
You mean I'll have a bad heel?" I said. "Couldn't I just, like, wear something besides sandals? No offense. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Annabeth shook her head. "All these years sneaking around, and we could've just been ourselves?"
"You should always do that." Alex strolled alongside, back in human form, though he still had a few flamingo feathers stuck in his hair. "And you have to flaunt the weird, my friends."
"I'm going to quote you on that," Percy said.
"You'd better. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Yay!' he said. 'Now we can eat peanut butter sandwiches and ride fish ponies! We can fight monsters and see Annabeth and make things go BOOM! ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
What? You run? Coward! Stand still and die!
Percy had no intention of doing that. ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
Then the glow grew brighter: a holographic golden sickle with a few sheaves of wheat, rotating just above Meg McCaffrey.
A boy in the crowd gasped. "She's a communist! ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
All Science is necessarily prophetic, so truly so, that the power of prophecy is the test, the infallible criterion, by which any presumed Science is ascertained to be actually & verily science. The Ptolemaic Astronomy was barely able to prognosticate a lunar eclipse; with Kepler and Newton came Science and Prophecy. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Percy Newton quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The saddest failures in life are those that come from not putting forth the power and will to succeed. ~ Edwin Percy Whipple
Percy Newton quotes by Edwin Percy Whipple
We met three years prior, in 2003, when I created the first-ever Shakespeare program in a solitary confinement unit, and we spent three years working together in that unit. Now we have received unprecedented permission to work together, alone, unsupervised, to create a series of Shakespeare workbooks for prisoners. Newton is gesticulating so animatedly that it draws the attention of an officer walking by our little classroom. He pops his head inside. "Everything okay in here?" he asks. "Just reading Shakespeare," I reply. He shakes his head and walks on. "That is crazy!" Newton repeats, his head still in the book. A record ten and a half consecutive years in solitary confinement, and he's not crazy, he's not dangerous - he's reading Shakespeare. And maybe, just maybe, it is because he's reading Shakespeare that he is not crazy, or dangerous. ~ Laura Bates
Percy Newton quotes by Laura Bates
The more time and devotion one spends in the worship of false gods, the less he is able to spend in that of the True One. ~ Isaac Newton
Percy Newton quotes by Isaac Newton
My mother is a proud Brazilian. I love visiting my family in Rio; the city and its people are so vibrant and amazing. ~ Harley Viera-Newton
Percy Newton quotes by Harley Viera-Newton
If you ever reach that stage in life where you really couldn't give a toss about what others think of you, then you have achieved freedom. ~ Daniel Kemp
Percy Newton quotes by Daniel Kemp
An Exhortation

Chameleons feed on light and air:
Poets' food is love and fame:
If in this wide world of care
Poets could but find the same
With as little toil as they,
Would they ever change their hue
As the light chameleons do,
Suiting it to every ray
Twenty times a day?

Poets are on this cold earth,
As chameleons might be,
Hidden from their early birth
In a cave beneath the sea;
Where light is, chameleons change:
Where love is not, poets do:
Fame is love disguised: if few
Find either, never think it strange
That poets range.

Yet dare not stain with wealth or power
A poet's free and heavenly mind:
If bright chameleons should devour
Any food but beams and wind,
They would grow as earthly soon
As their brother lizards are.
Children of a sunnier star,
Spirits from beyond the moon,
O, refuse the boon! ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Newton quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
In the discoveries of science the harmony of the spheres is also now the harmony of life. And as the eerie illumination of science penetrates evermore deeply into the order of nature, the cosmos appears increasingly to be a vast system finely tuned to generate life and organisms of biology very similar, perhaps identical, to ourselves. All the evidence available in the biological sciences supports the core proposition of traditional natural theology - that the cosmos is a specially designed whole with life and mankind as a fundamental goal and purpose, a whole in which all facets of reality, from the size of galaxies to the thermal capacity of water, have their meaning and explanation in this central fact.

Four centuries after the scientific revolution apparently destroyed irretrievably man's special place in the universe, banished Aristotle, and rendered teleological speculation obsolete, the relentless stream of discovery has turned dramatically in favor of teleology and design, and the doctrine of the microcosm is reborn. As I hope the evidence presented in this book has shown, science, which has been for centuries the great ally of atheism and skepticism, has become at last, in the final days of the second millennium, what Newton and many of its early advocates had so fervently wished - the "defender of the anthropocentric faith. ~ Michael Denton
Percy Newton quotes by Michael Denton
Seriously, who curses you with their dying breath and says, I hope your eye twitches! ~ Rick Riordan
Percy Newton quotes by Rick Riordan
People gave us everything for free. We were allowed only so much film per picture, but there was no limit to the creativity. I like to say that they let us loose like wild dogs in the streets of Paris. ~ Helmut Newton
