I still gasp at the revealing lingo for weapons: erector launchers, thrust ratios; my teeth grind reflexively when Dubya sputters Eye-Rack and Eye-Ran have 'nookyular capabacity. ~ Robin Morgan
Ratios quotes by Robin Morgan
From the perspective of the world's national security apparatuses you exist in several locations. You appear on property and income-tax registries, on passport and ID card databases. You show up on passenger manifests and telephone logs . . . You are fingertip swirls, facial ratios, dental records, voice patterns, spending trails, e-mail threads. ~ Mohsin Hamid
Ratios quotes by Mohsin Hamid
The man possessed of a dollar, feels himself to be not merely one hundred cents richer, but also one hundred cents better, than the man who is penniless; so on through all the gradations of earthly possessions - the estimate of our own moral and political importance swelling always in a ratio exactly proportionate to the growth of our purse. ~ Frances Wright
Ratios quotes by Frances Wright
At some point, the world is going to have to bite the bullet and accept a huge downsizing in its way of life to bring the assets-to-debt ratio back in touch with reality. ~ John L. Casti
Ratios quotes by John L. Casti
(Basel Accords) to set capital ratios. Under these guidelines, the ~ John A. Allison
Ratios quotes by John A. Allison
I prefer a little free speech to no free speech at all; but how many have free speech or the chance or the mind for it; and is not free speech here as elsewhere clamped down on in ratio of its freedom and danger? ~ James Agee
Ratios quotes by James Agee
Worry destroys the ability to write. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Ratios quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
This solidarity can grow only in inverse ratio to personality ... Solidarity which comes from likenesses is at its maximum when the collective conscience completely envelops our whole conscience and coincides in all points with it ... when this solidarity exercises its force, our personality vanishes, as our definition permits us to say, for we are no longer ourselves, but the collective life. ~ Emile Durkheim
Ratios quotes by Emile Durkheim
But here again it must be observed that this is a matter of a variation brought about through dynamic agencies. The static state, for which the contention attributed to the adherents of the mechanical version of the Quantity Theory would be valid, is disturbed by the fact that the exchange-ratios between individual commodities are necessarily modified. Under certain conditions, the technique of the market may have the effect of extending this modification to the exchange-ratio between money and other economic goods also. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Ratios quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
I like the groups on Factory, A Certain Ratio and Section 25. I ~ Ian Curtis
Ratios quotes by Ian Curtis
About five years ago, the courses we run in the Field Trials were 52 percent timber. The hawks live in trees, and the quail nest on the ground. Since then we've trimmed back about 1,200 acres of trees to get it closer to the ideal course ratio of 25 percent trees/75 percent open ground. ~ Rick Carlisle
Ratios quotes by Rick Carlisle
Bullialdus wrote that all force respecting ye Sun as its center & depending on matter must be reciprocally in a duplicate ratio of ye distance from ye center. ~ Isaac Newton
Ratios quotes by Isaac Newton
The ways of living have been rendered vastly easier by a multitude of inventions, by the increasing wealth of the country, by better and more intelligent service; and yet life is by no means easier, but indeed hard. The demands on time, whether real or imagined, have increased in a greater ratio than the supply of facilities for answering them, and as the earth provokingly continues to revolve on its axis just as rapidly as of old, the days are never long enough for all the duties which they bring. ~ Anna Brackett
Ratios quotes by Anna Brackett
The most common objection that I hear to walking as exercise is that it's too easy, that only sweaty, strenuous activity offers real benefits. But there is abundant evidence that regular, brisk walking is associated with better health, including lower blood pressure, better moods and improved cholesterol ratios. ~ Andrew Weil
Ratios quotes by Andrew Weil
Be aware of the level of the stock market. Are yields low and PE ratios high? ~ Walter Schloss
Ratios quotes by Walter Schloss
The amount of money we receive will always be in direct ratio to the demand for what we do; our ability to do it; and the difficulty in replacing us. ~ Earl Nightingale
Ratios quotes by Earl Nightingale
And what we were trying to offer every day was one-on-one attention. The goal was to have a one-to-one ratio with every one of these students. ~ Dave Eggers
Ratios quotes by Dave Eggers
If all the exchange-ratios of the past were erased from human memory, the process of market-price-determination might certainly become more difficult, because everybody would have to construct a new scale of valuations for himself; but it would not become impossible. In fact, people the whole world over are engaged daily and hourly in the operation from which all prices result: the decision as to the relative significance enjoyed by specific quantities of goods as conditions for the satisfaction of wants. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Ratios quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
The present Western civilization ... is dominated by the extravert viewpoint. There are plenty of reasons for this domination: extraverts are more vocal than introverts; they are more numerous, apparently in the ratio of three to one; and they are accessible and understandable, whereas the introverts are not readily understandable, even to each other, and are likely to be thoroughly incomprehensible to the extraverts. ~ Isabel Briggs Myers
Ratios quotes by Isabel Briggs Myers
I am one of the unpraised, unrewarded millions without whom Statistics would be a bankrupt science. It is we who are born, who marry, who die, in constant ratios. ~ Logan Pearsall Smith
Ratios quotes by Logan Pearsall Smith
Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more. ~ William Blake
Ratios quotes by William Blake
Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held. ~ Aldous Huxley
Ratios quotes by Aldous Huxley
The unsolved problems of the physical world now seem even more formidable than those solved in the twentieth century.

Though in application it works splendidly, we do not even understand the physical meaning of quantum mechanics, much less how it might be united with general relativity.

We don't know why the dimensionless constants (ratios of masses of elementary particles, ratios of strength of gravitational to electric forces, fine structure constant, etc.) have the values they do, unless we appeal to the implausible anthropic principle, which seems like a regression to Aristotelian teleology. ~ Gerald Holton
Ratios quotes by Gerald Holton
If we could shrink the Earth's population to a village of 100 people, with all existing human ratios staying the same, it would look like this: There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Americas and 8 Africans. 80 would live in substandard housing. 70 would be unable to read. 50 would suffer from malnutrition. 50 per cent of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6 people. And all 6 would be citizens of the United States. ~ Ahdaf Soueif
Ratios quotes by Ahdaf Soueif
US common stock has yielded a higher return than bonds. However, price earnings ratios are much higher than they were for much of the 20th century, so it ~ Anonymous
Ratios quotes by Anonymous
There are no quantum waves, only quantum ratios. ~ R.A. Delmonico
Ratios quotes by R.A. Delmonico
Facial recognition software is already quite accurate in measuring unchanging and unique ratios between facial features that identify you as you. It's like a fingerprint. ~ Jan Chipchase
Ratios quotes by Jan Chipchase
Work/Loaf Ratio" ... I have spent fourteen years perfecting ... I won't bore you with a long-winded explanation of the "W/LR" save to say that it is an algebraic formula of such complex numeric subtlety that it can be understood only by mathematicians and hobos. ~ Gary Reilly
Ratios quotes by Gary Reilly
Things were changing; I was changing. All swelling limbs and sweating brain, suddenly I had more body than I knew what to do with. Arms and legs became the prey of low desktops and narrow corridors, were ambushed by sharp corners. Mr Baxter ignored my plight. Bodies were inimical to mathematics, or so we were led to believe. Bad hair, acrid breath, lumpy skin, all vanished for an hour every Tuesday and Thursday. Young minds in the buff soared into the sphere of pure reason. Pages turned to parallelograms; cities, circumferences; recipes, ratios. Shorn of our bearings, we groped our way around in this rarefied air. ~ Daniel Tammet
Ratios quotes by Daniel Tammet
Failure to recognize the difficulty in escaping a situation of high debt intolerance simply through growth and gently falling ratios of debt to GNP is one of the central errors underlying many standard calculations employed both by the private sector and by official analysts during debt crises. ~ Anonymous
Ratios quotes by Anonymous
A reader should be able to identify a column without its byline or funny little picture on top purely by look or feel, or its turgidity ratio. ~ William Safire
Ratios quotes by William Safire
The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Ratios quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I happen to love engineering. I love figuring things out in a spatial sense, that whole realm of working with mechanical parts, and the relationship of the parts, and things like ratios and the speeds of particular objects. ~ Arthur Ganson
Ratios quotes by Arthur Ganson
For any two portions of fire, small or great, will exhibit the same ratio of solid to void; but the upward movement of the greater is quicker than that of the less, just as the downward movement of a mass of gold or lead, or of any other body endowed with weight, is quicker in proportion to its size. ~ Aristotle.
Ratios quotes by Aristotle.
Today's stock market actually hates technology, as shown by all-time low price/earnings ratios for major public technology companies. ~ Marc Andreessen
Ratios quotes by Marc Andreessen
I've got a chart here that shows our debt-to-GDP ratio. And while we did run deficits in the past, we now number our debt in trillions rather than in billions. And I think that represents a long-term danger, especially to the, the American dream. ~ Mark Kirk
Ratios quotes by Mark Kirk
Brand-name growth stocks ordinarily command the highest p/e ratios. Rising prices beget attention, and vice versa - but only to a point. Eventually their growth rate can diminish as results revert towards normal. Maybe not in all cases, but often enough to make a long-term bet. Bottom line: I wouldn't want to get caught in a rush for the exit, much less get left behind. Only when big growth stocks fall into the dumper from time to time am I inclined to pick them up - and even then, only in moderation. ~ John Neff
Ratios quotes by John Neff
The sensory ratios that are being reinforced by the new electronic technology are like the sensory ratios that were in place fifteen thousand years ago ... Print imposes a condition on human mind which is now lifting. ~ Terence McKenna
Ratios quotes by Terence McKenna
Age shame is also a problem primarily for women. As women approach and go through menopause, naturally gaining weight as fat-to-muscle ratios shift, they exhibit many of the same anxieties and symptoms that teenage girls do. The process of growing older makes women's 'flaws' more visible and acute, thus, aging, a natural process, becomes frightening, disorienting, and difficult for many women. ~ Soraya Chemaly
Ratios quotes by Soraya Chemaly
Most people think spies are afraid of guns, or KGB guards, or barbed wire, but in point of fact the most dangerous thing they face is paper. Papers carry secrets. Papers can carry death warrants. Papers like this one, this folio with its blurry eighteen year old faked missile photographs and estimates of time/survivor curves and pervasive psychosis ratios, can give you nightmares, dragging you awake screaming in the middle of the night. ~ Charles Stross
Ratios quotes by Charles Stross
Above the comforts of Base Camp, the expedition in fact became an almost Calvinistic undertaking. The ratio of misery to pleasure was greater by an order of magnitude than any mountain I'd been on; I quickly came to understand that climbing Everest was primarily about enduring pain. And in subjecting ourselves to week after week of toil, tedium and suffering, it struck me that most of us were probably seeking above all else, something like a state of grace. ~ Jon Krakauer
Ratios quotes by Jon Krakauer
Personal rights, universally the same, demand a government framed on the ratio of the census: property demands a government framedon the ratio of owners and of owning. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ratios quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dating is a social brain teaser, as it requires constantly changing ratios of intimacy and distance, an erotic mental cha-cha choreographed by chemistry, insight, and fear. ~ Marilyn Suzanne Miller
Ratios quotes by Marilyn Suzanne Miller
The value of an ad is in inverse ratio to the number of times it has been used. ~ Raymond Rubicam
Ratios quotes by Raymond Rubicam
The goodness of the true pun is in the direct ratio of its intolerability. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Ratios quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
My history of moving away from drugs is not the kind you hear from most people. Certainly not from celebrities, especially those professionally recovering people. What I've noticed in my overuse of cocaine is the period of pleasure versus the period of pain. That is to say that when you first get high on anything, the pleasure is predominant and you don't pay much price. A little hangover or whatever it might be with another drug. But after a while the ratio begins to change, and there' s far more pain in the deal than pleasure. It just completely goes in another direction. ~ George Carlin
Ratios quotes by George Carlin
When you are a writer the assist-to-turnover ratio ... there are a lot more turnovers than assists. It's just the nature of the beast. ~ Jeff Baena
Ratios quotes by Jeff Baena
Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio. ~ Thomas Malthus
Ratios quotes by Thomas Malthus
People love leverage when it's working. I mean, it's so easy to borrow money from a guy at X and put it out at X. ~ Howard Warren Buffett
Ratios quotes by Howard Warren Buffett
It's nonsensical to derive a price/earnings ratio by dividing the known current price by unknown future earnings. ~ Benjamin Graham
Ratios quotes by Benjamin Graham
Feminism is a tremendously underestimated force, viewed in the present context primarily as a woman's concern. The understanding has not yet percolated throughout society that the advancement of women is a program vitally connected to the survival of human beings as a species. The reason for this is simply that institutions take on the character of the atoms which compose them, and what we are most menaced by in the twentieth century are dehumanized institutions. If women played a major role in policy formation and execution on the part of these institutions, I think they would have a far more benign and ecologically sensitive kind of character. So I see feminism not as a kind of war between the sexes or any of these stereotypic images, but as actually a kind of effort to shift the ratios of our emphasis that is expressed through our institutions. ~ Terence McKenna
Ratios quotes by Terence McKenna
How does it happen, Maecenas, that no one is content with that lot in life which he has chosen, or which chance has thrown in his way, but praises those who follow a different course?
[Lat., Qui fit, Maecenas, ut nemo quam sibi sortem,
Seu ratio dederit, seu fors objecerit, illa
Contentus vivat? laudet diversa sequentes.] ~ Horace
Ratios quotes by Horace
Success is to be measured not by wealth, power, or fame, but by the ratio between what a man is and what he might be. ~ H.G.Wells
Ratios quotes by H.G.Wells
The ratio of literacy to illiteracy is constant, but nowadays the illiterates can read and write. ~ Alberto Moravia
Ratios quotes by Alberto Moravia
The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. If one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ratios quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The principle of conservation of boson number inside a system is seen to follow directly from the Abstraction Model. The IBMs are seen to obey the Laws of Physical Transaction that follows from Zero-Postulation. The chaotic superfields at the requisite scaling-ratio yields necessary equation-parameters needed to describe them at that given scaling-ratio. This is seen to be independent of the choice of scale, but at smaller scaling-ratios, we have less loss of information. At a higher scale, we seem to have less number of parameters required to describe them. ~ Subhajit Ganguly
Ratios quotes by Subhajit Ganguly
The State does not govern the market; in the market in which products are exchanged it may quite possibly be a powerful party, but nevertheless it is only one party of many, nothing more than that. All its attempts to transform the exchange-ratios between economic goods that are determined in the market can only be undertaken with the instruments of the market. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Ratios quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Equality is of two kinds, numerical and proportional; by the first I mean sameness of equality in number or size; by the second, equality of ratios. ~ Aristotle.
Ratios quotes by Aristotle.
Near the top of the market, investors are extraordinarily optimistic because they've seen mostly higher prices for a year or two. The sell-offs witnessed during that span were usually brief. Even when they were severe, the market bounced back quickly and always rose to loftier levels. At the top, optimism is king, speculation is running wild, stocks carry high price/earnings ratios, and liquidity has evaporated. A small rise in interest rates can easily be the catalyst for triggering a bear market at that point. ~ Martin Zweig
Ratios quotes by Martin Zweig
Just in the ratio knowledge increases, faith decreases. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Ratios quotes by Thomas Carlyle
For a manager to be perceived as a positive manager, they need a four to one positive to negative contact ratio. ~ Ken Blanchard
Ratios quotes by Ken Blanchard
A common way to compute density is, of course, to take the ratio of an object's mass to its volume. But other types of densities exist, such as the resistance of somebody's brain to the imparting of common sense ... ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Ratios quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Pick up a sunflower and count the florets running into its centre, or count the spiral scales of a pine cone or a pineapple, running from its bottom up its sides to the top, and you will find an extraordinary truth: recurring numbers, ratios and proportions. ~ Charles Jencks
Ratios quotes by Charles Jencks
There's a biological basis for music, and that biological basis is the similarity between music and speech," said Purves. "That's the reason we like music. Music is far more complex than [the ratios of] Pythagoras. The reason doesn't have to do with mathematics, it has to do with biology. ~ David Byrne
Ratios quotes by David Byrne
In the theatre, words are eighty to eighty-five percent of the importance of what is happening to you for your comprehension. In film, words are about twenty percent. It's a different figure, but it's almost an opposite ratio. For the words are only a little bit of embroidery, a little bit of lacework. ~ Nicholas Ray
Ratios quotes by Nicholas Ray
The singular point of beautiful objects, and people, is that they are experienced not as parts, or ratios between cheekbones and chin, but as wholes. The experience of beauty is a perception, but it is one that mixes up various other sensations and makes them converge in a particular way. ~ Charles Jencks
Ratios quotes by Charles Jencks
In Texas money goes further, with one of the lowest costs of living, one of the lightest tax burdens as a percent of income, and one of the lowest debt-per-capita ratios. ~ Mark McKinnon
Ratios quotes by Mark McKinnon
You'll find more emotions of words in those crumpled & rolled papers thrown in the dustbin than the edited script you jolted down last night in your folder. More splashes of paints lay scattered around your drawing paint-plate, the brushes equally messed up with their romance with the colours before the actual finishing of a fine portrait. Your draft box breathes more words than the real, grammatically -groomed post on your blog. The room smells more of the combined samples of vividly used tropical, musky, floral essences mixed in different ratios to get the exotic cologne at the end.
Gist is spending that extra cent to obtain a perfect blend. That extra counts to the journey of a masterpiece which later finds itself an identity of an extra-ordinary creation.
You're that 'extra' to me who glorifies my existence and makes me feel like a clone-sister of masterpiece or rather a mistress-piece!!!

- Shonali Dey (Shon Alley) ~ Shonali Dey
Ratios quotes by Shonali Dey
Dolphins have one of the highest ratios of brain size to body mass in the animal kingdom. Measured in this way, a dolphin's brain is second in size only to that of a human's, and well above that of our closest genetic relative, the chimpanzee. A large brain-to-body size ratio is often considered a hallmark of intelligence, although it's not the only factor. But it is something we humans celebrate in ourselves and regard as key to the flowering of human intelligence. ~ Virginia Morell
Ratios quotes by Virginia Morell
Marijuana, for example, won't help one determine the correct aspect ratio ... ~ David Mamet
Ratios quotes by David Mamet
Democracy is a difficult art of government, demanding of its citizens high ratios of courage and literacy, and at the moment we lack both the necessary habits of mind and a sphere of common reference. ~ Lewis H. Lapham
Ratios quotes by Lewis H. Lapham
I have this ratio that if you divide age of entrepreneur by market cap of company. For Facebook it's one. Every year of his life Zuckerberg has been making $1 billion for investors. ~ Yuri Milner
Ratios quotes by Yuri Milner
The risk of developing carcinoma of the lung increases steadily as the amount smoked increases. If the risk among non-smokers is taken as unity and the resulting ratios in the three age groups in which a large number of patients were interviewed (ages 45 to 74) are averaged, the relative risks become 6, 19, 26, 49, and 65 when the number of cigarettes smoked a day are 3, 10, 20, 35, and, say, 60-that is, the mid-points of each smoking group. In other words, on the admittedly speculative assumptions we have made, the risk seems to vary in approximately simple proportion with the amount smoked. ~ Richard Doll
Ratios quotes by Richard Doll
Ratios matter in Data Science. Dreams should be big and worries small. ~ Damian Mingle
Ratios quotes by Damian Mingle
The results serve to disprove the tetranucleotide hypothesis. It is, however, noteworthy-whether this is more than accidental, cannot yet be said-that in all desoxypentose nucleic acids examined thus far the molar ratios of total purines to total pyrimidines, and also of adenine to thymine and of guanine to cytosine, were not far from 1. ~ Erwin Chargaff
Ratios quotes by Erwin Chargaff
Itwas one time when people thought the value of the fine structure constant wasimportant. Now of course it's still important, of course, as a practical matter,but we now know that the value it has is a function, that in any fundamental theory you derive the fine structure constant as a function of all sorts of mass ratios and so on, and it's not really that fundamental. ~ Steven Weinberg
Ratios quotes by Steven Weinberg
Talking about Korea, it has pretty high capital ratios at banks and maintains a good credit rating. ~ Lee Myung-bak
Ratios quotes by Lee Myung-bak
For equity markets, the combination of low interest rates, strong economic growth and low inflation has proved very beneficial, with global share markets rising solidly in each of the past three years. This has been underpinned by strong growth in profits so that, notwithstanding the rise in share prices, P/E ratios have been declining on average. ~ Ian Macfarlane
Ratios quotes by Ian Macfarlane
In general, exchange reactions for the lighter isotopes have equilibrium constants sufficiently different from unity, so that the ratios of concentrations of the isotopes in two compounds which are in equilibrium differ by a few per cents in nearly all cases. ~ Harold Urey
Ratios quotes by Harold Urey
When I was leader of the GLC, by the time I had been in control for three years, the difference in pay between the cleaner and the director general was a four-to-one ratio. I find that attractive. ~ Ken Livingstone
Ratios quotes by Ken Livingstone
Such a system of checks and balances -- parenting -- of projections and guesswork and cost-benefit ratios. ~ Gin Phillips
Ratios quotes by Gin Phillips
The obese are eating the worst diet in the country if you define
worse as ratio of calories to essential micronutrients. They're just eating
empty calories. ~ Bruce Ames
Ratios quotes by Bruce Ames
In the very beginning I tried to actualise way too many ideas. The end result was not as healthy a ratio for satisfaction as the current, more mysterious one. ~ Howe Gelb
Ratios quotes by Howe Gelb
The ratio between supervisory and producing personnel is always highest where the intellectuals are in power. In a Communist country it takes half the population to supervise the other half. ~ Eric Hoffer
Ratios quotes by Eric Hoffer
Every relationship between two individuals or two groups will be characterized by the ratio of secrecy that is involved in it. ~ Georg Simmel
Ratios quotes by Georg Simmel
There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging. ~ Ray Dalio
Ratios quotes by Ray Dalio
The banking business is no favorite of ours. When assets are twenty times equity - a common ratio in this industry - mistakes that involve only a small portion of assets can destroy a major portion of equity. And mistakes have been the rule rather than the exception at many major banks. ~ Warren Buffett
Ratios quotes by Warren Buffett
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Ratios quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The movie industry had it better in the '30s and '40s, in terms of gender equality, than it does now, both in payment and in job ratios. It's ludicrous. Are we in the modern world, or what? ~ Daryl Hannah
Ratios quotes by Daryl Hannah
Forethought and prudence are the proper qualities of a leader.
[Lat., Ratio et consilium, propriae ducis artes.] ~ Tacitus
Ratios quotes by Tacitus
People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect. ~ Samuel Butler
Ratios quotes by Samuel Butler
People with higher ratios of positive to negative emotions are more likely to flourish in life. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Ratios quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
In a world of businessmen and financial intermediaries who aggressively seek profit, innovators will always outpace regulators; the authorities cannot prevent changes in the structure of portfolios from occurring. What they can do is keep the asset-equity ratio of banks within bounds by setting equity-absorption ratios for various types of assets. If the authorities constrain banks and are aware of the activities of fringe banks and other financial institutions, they are in a better position to attenuate the disruptive expansionary tendencies of our economy. ~ Hyman Minsky
Ratios quotes by Hyman Minsky
Compounds of gaseous substances with each other are always formed in very simple ratios, so that representing one of the terms by unity, the other is 1, 2, or at most 3 ... The apparent contraction of volume suffered by gas on combination is also very simply related to the volume of one of them. ~ Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
Ratios quotes by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
The implication of the sex ratios, Professor Sen found, is that about 107 million females are missing from the globe today. Follow-up studies have calculated the number slightly differently, deriving alternative figures for 'missing women' of between 60 million and 101 million. Every year, at least another 2 million girls worldwide disappear because of gender discrimination. ~ Nicholas D. Kristof
Ratios quotes by Nicholas D. Kristof
Canada has one great novelist (Robertson Davies), which means it has one for every twenty-five million citizens - the world's highest ratio. ~ George Will
Ratios quotes by George Will
Some directors, like Stevens [George Stevens], shoot full circle, 360 degrees, and that's what's right for them. I generally shoot at about a seven to one ratio. But part of that is because I've worked on every screenplay, so I'm further along in the visual concept. ~ Elia Kazan
Ratios quotes by Elia Kazan
War and the fear of war have always been considered the main incentives to technological extension of our bodies. Indeed, Lewis Mumford, in his The City in History, considers the walled city itself an extension of our skins, as much as housing and clothing. More even than the preparation for war, the aftermath of invasion is a rich technological period; because the subject culture has to adjust all its sense ratios to accommodate the impact of the invading culture. ~ Marshall McLuhan
Ratios quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio; and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also
patterns of communal interdependence. ~ Marshall McLuhan
Ratios quotes by Marshall McLuhan
Most actors are very deeply passionate about their line of work. I suppose there are probably people who sell insurance policies that are passionate about it, but I'm thinking the ratio is a little higher for actors. But, I may be wrong. ~ Greg Kinnear
Ratios quotes by Greg Kinnear
