Measuring time isn't as simple as adding or subtracting minutes from a clock...You must find your own measuring stick. ~ Lindsay Eagar
Subtracting quotes by Lindsay Eagar
Her touch is like doing simple math
When she sleeps in the bed, subtracting clothes
There is a red ink, like a sparkling red wine, adding colors
Dividing body, remembering gods, without multiplying ~ Santosh Kalwar
Subtracting quotes by Santosh Kalwar
If music serves to convey feelings through the interaction of physical gestures and sound, the musician needs his brain state to match the emotional state he is trying to express. Although the studies haven't been performed yet, I'm willing to bet that when B.B. King is playing the blues and when he is feeling the blues, the neural signatures are very similar. (Of course there will be differences, too, and part of the scientific hurdle will be subtracting out the processes involved in issuing motor commands and listening to music, versus just sitting on a chair, head in hands, and feeling down.) And as listeners, there is every reason to believe that some of our brain states will match those of the musicians we are listening to. ~ Daniel J. Levitin
Subtracting quotes by Daniel J. Levitin
Father, we are uniquely capable of morality. We must be moral, because we can be moral.

He stood very still as the words settled like silt to the floor of his veins.

We can snatch from the air the abstractness of numbers, adding and subtracting and making logic from magic, and because we can, we do, and we must. We can build pyramids and sky-piercing towers, so we must. We can wrestle language from our grunting, so we must. We can map our physical mysteries with machines of our own making. We can classify the species of the earth, name every stone and streamlet. We can run a hundred miles, and we can walk on the face of the moon, so we must - and then we must go farther.

We can, from the chaos of existence, extract meanings, which do not exist. We can make ourselves philosophers and scientists and priests. We can construct our unnatural civilizations - we can, and therefore we must. To starve our genes is to honor our genes. With fear and loathing we can stand on the necks of our parents and refuse them. We can evolve from simple to complex. We can choose survival of the species over survival of the self. We can say no to nature and form a conspiracy of doves.

We are uniquely capable of morality, therefore we must be moral. That is our nature. ~ C.E. Morgan
Subtracting quotes by C.E. Morgan
They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge. ~ Thomas Reed
Subtracting quotes by Thomas Reed
1. Milo There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself - not just sometimes, but always. When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him - least of all the things that should have. "It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time," he remarked one day as he walked dejectedly home from school. "I can't see the point in learning to solve useless problems, or subtracting turnips from turnips, or knowing where Ethiopia is or how to spell February." And, since no one bothered to explain otherwise, he regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all. ~ Norton Juster
Subtracting quotes by Norton Juster
The principle is this: When you write, you make a point not by subtracting as though you sharpened a pencil, but by adding. When you put one word after another, your statement should be more precise the more you add. If the result is otherwise, you have added the wrong thing, or you have added more than was needed. Erskine ~ Brooks Landon
Subtracting quotes by Brooks Landon
VI. If you were coming in the fall, I'd brush the summer by With half a smile and half a spurn, As housewives do a fly. If I could see you in a year, I'd wind the months in balls, And put them each in separate drawers, Until their time befalls. If only centuries delayed, I'd count them on my hand, Subtracting till my fingers dropped Into Van Diemen's land. If certain, when this life was out, That yours and mine should be, I'd toss it yonder like a rind, And taste eternity. But now, all ignorant of the length Of time's uncertain wing, It goads me, like the goblin bee, That will not state its sting. ~ Emily Dickinson
Subtracting quotes by Emily Dickinson
Contentment is not by addition but by subtraction: seeking to add a thing will not bring contentment. Instead, subtracting from your desires until you are satisfied only with Christ brings contentment. ~ Jeremiah Burroughs
Subtracting quotes by Jeremiah Burroughs
Decorating is like math, a game of adding and subtracting. ~ Charlotte Moss
Subtracting quotes by Charlotte Moss
The evolution of the universe depends on the participation of each and every person ... From your soul's perspective, you are as great an addition to the world as Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa, and subtracting you from the cosmic equation would be just as great a loss. The most exquisite silk remains intact if you pull out a thread, but the snag will show. ~ Deepak Chopra
Subtracting quotes by Deepak Chopra
And when you listened to one of his stories, you'd find yourself performing rapid calculations in your head, subtracting superlatives, figuring the square root of an absolute and then multiplying by maybe. Still, ~ Tim O'Brien
Subtracting quotes by Tim O'Brien
Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. ~ Colin Chapman
Subtracting quotes by Colin Chapman
When things aren't adding up in life, start subtracting. ~ Anonymous
Subtracting quotes by Anonymous
For Rat Kiley, I think, facts were formed by sensation, not the other way around, and when you listened to one of his stories, you'd find yourself performing rapid calculations in your head, subtracting superlatives, figuring the square root of an absolute and then multiplying by maybe. ~ Tim O'Brien
Subtracting quotes by Tim O'Brien
The music comes first, like, 99 percent of the time. I come up with the basic chord structure and the melody first and then I get really obsessed with arranging, adding, and subtracting parts. The last step of the process, for me, is finding words that fit into that structure and figuring out exactly what I want to talk about. ~ Mikal Cronin
Subtracting quotes by Mikal Cronin
Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller. ~ Federica Montseny
Subtracting quotes by Federica Montseny
If the past was the age of adding to one's mind, now is the age of subtracting what is in his mind. A person who subtracts his minds in this time will recover his original nature. ~ Woo Myung
Subtracting quotes by Woo Myung
When something or someone is no longer bringing you up, but pulling you down - it's time to let go. When something or someone is no longer adding to your life, but subtracting from it - it's time to let go. ~ Mandy Hale
Subtracting quotes by Mandy Hale
It was so kind of you to write to me about your experiences during the Occupation. At the war's end, I, too, promised myself that I had done with talking about it. I had talked and lived war for six years, and I was longing to pay attention to something - anything - else. But that is like wishing I were someone else. The war is now the story of our lives, and there's no subtracting it. ~ Mary Ann Shaffer
Subtracting quotes by Mary Ann Shaffer
The British monarchy has the political and constitutional task of subtracting from the government and governors of Britain the papal and kingly airs that in America, because we have no such institution, unfortunately adhere to the president. ~ Mark Helprin
Subtracting quotes by Mark Helprin
The trick to not thinking is not adding energy to the equation in an effort to forcibly stop thinking from happening. It's more a matter of subtracting energy from the equation in order not to barf the thoughts up and start chewing them over again. ~ Brad Warner
Subtracting quotes by Brad Warner
Any teaching that in any way detracts from Christ's exclusive role is by definition both wrong and ineffective. The teachers themselves are probably not denying that Christ was central to God's saving purposes. They seem rather to be arguing that certain practices must be added on in order to achieve true spiritual fulfillment. But, for Paul, in this case, addition means subtraction: one cannot "add" to Christ without, in effect, subtracting from his exclusive place in creation and in salvation history. ~ Douglas J. Moo
Subtracting quotes by Douglas J. Moo
Once you have learned how to subtract the gross form of 'my', subtract the subtle form of 'my'. Thereafter, subtract the subtler and the subtlest forms. After subtracting all that, 'I' [Self] will be separate! ~ Dada Bhagwan
Subtracting quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Who's counting? It was, of course, the minority who were counting. It always is. Most of the women I know today would dearly like to use their fingers and toes for some activity more enthralling than counting. They have been counting for so long. But the peculiar problem of the new math is that every time we stop adding, somebody starts subtracting. At the very least (the advanced students will understand this) the rate of increase slows ... The minority members of any group or profession have two answers: They can keep score or they can lose. ~ Ellen Goodman
Subtracting quotes by Ellen Goodman
Constructionism thus impoverishes humanity, by subtracting from our human powers and accrediting all of them - selfhood, reflexivity, thought, memory and emotionality - to society's discourse. ~ Margaret Scotford Archer
Subtracting quotes by Margaret Scotford Archer
Why be saddled with this thing called life expectancy? Of what relevance to an individual is such a statistic? Am I to concern myself with an allotment of days I never had and was never promised? Must I check off each day of my life as if I am subtracting from this imaginary hoard? No, on the contrary, I will add each day of my life to my treasure of days lived. And with each day, my treasure will grow, not diminish. ~ Robert Brault
Subtracting quotes by Robert Brault
I am a zero on the rez. And if you subtract zero from zero, you still have zero. So what's the point of subtracting when the answer is always the same? ~ Sherman Alexie
Subtracting quotes by Sherman Alexie
After he in his memory and imagination had made up, struck out, and discarded many names, now adding to and now subtracting from the list, he finally hit upon "Rocinante," a name that impressed him as being sonorous and at the same time indicative of what the steed had been when it was but a hack, whereas now it was nothing other than the first and foremost of all the hacks in the world. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Subtracting quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
When it comes time to make the scenes concrete and shoot them, I want the freedom for it to exist which means adding, subtracting or modifying. ~ Abdellatif Kechiche
Subtracting quotes by Abdellatif Kechiche
Formerly, in my attempts to isolate this talent, I deducted, so to speak, from what I heard, the part itself, a part, the common property of all the actresses who appeared as Phèdre, which I myself had studied beforehand so that I might be capable of subtracting it, of gleaming as a residuum Mme Berma's talent alone. But this talent which I sought to discover outside the part itself was indissolubly one with it. So with a great musician (it appears that this was the case with Vinteuil when he played the piano), his playing is that of so fine a pianist that one is no longer aware that the performer is a pianist at all, because his playing has become so transparent, so imbued with what he is interpreting, that one no longer sees the performer himself - he is simply a window opening upon a great work of art. ~ Marcel Proust
Subtracting quotes by Marcel Proust
I saw Warren's eyes attach themselves to something in the distance. I turned around and saw in the next room, the dining room, Dolly Parton, quietly sitting at the table, alone, scribbling on a pad. In an instant, I could feel myself dropped as this new yummy dish was making Warren's mouth water. He actually licked his lips as he left me on the couch and sat down next to her at the table. I followed him like a jilted wife, jealous, clumsy. I needn't have bothered; Dolly was immune. Warren tried the whole deck of cards. Dolly concentrated on her numbers, adding, subtracting, and smiling adorably at his attempts. Watching her, I couldn't blame him for trying. It was 1975. Dolly was all cream and roses, just astonishing and nice. ~ Lee Grant
Subtracting quotes by Lee Grant
How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho)
Define slavery. (Asmodeus)
Kept against their will. (Jericho)
Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus)
Why not? (Jericho)
Probably a couple of million ... you know it's really hard to count to a million, plus they're always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmodeus) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Subtracting quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Form is what transforms the content of a work into its essence. Do you understand? The character of music arises out of its form like steam from water,' Yury Andreevich said. 'With solid understanding of the general laws of form, which encompass all that is amenable to formulation, one can, by groping further, perceive the individual, the particular. Then, subtracting the general, one can sense a residue where wonder lurks in its purest, most undiluted form. Herein lies the goal of theory: the more fully one grasps what is available for comprehension, the more intensely the ineffable shines. ~ Lyudmila Ulitskaya
Subtracting quotes by Lyudmila Ulitskaya
For as from the same piece of clay a potter may fashion either a pot or a tile, so the Devil may shape a witch into a wolf or a cat or even a goat, without subtracting from her and without adding to her at all. For this occurs just as clay is first molded into one, then shaped into another form, for the Devil is a potter and his witches are but clay. ~ Aino Kallas
Subtracting quotes by Aino Kallas
Stories are a way of subtracting the future from the past, the only way of finding clarity in hindsight. ~ Valeria Luiselli
Subtracting quotes by Valeria Luiselli
It's not about adding diversity for the sake of diversity, it's about subtracting homogeneity for the sake of realism. ~ Mary Robinette Kowal
Subtracting quotes by Mary Robinette Kowal
If you're trying to add something to your life without subtracting something else, there's a good chance the stuff that's already there will win. ~ Ed Cyzewski
Subtracting quotes by Ed Cyzewski
You don't get to advertise all the good that your religion does without first scrupulously subtracting all the harm it does and considering seriously the question of whether some other religion, or no religion at all, does better. ~ Daniel Dennett
Subtracting quotes by Daniel Dennett
The spiritual power in the gospel is denied when we augment or adjusting gospel into no gospel at all. When we doubt the message alone is the power of God for salvation we start adding or subtracting, trusting our own powers of persuasion or presentation. ~ Matt Chandler
Subtracting quotes by Matt Chandler
Subtracting from your list of priorities is as important as adding to it. ~ Frank Sonnenberg
Subtracting quotes by Frank Sonnenberg
It is one thing to write as poet and another to write as a historian: the poet can recount or sing about things not as they were, but as they should have been, and the historian must write about them not as they should have been, but as they were, without adding or subtracting anything from the truth. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Subtracting quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
It's more about subtracting every single buck from the tourists that still flock there. Gentrification and the need for developers to maximize their profits from every square inch of the place means that there just aren't any scruffy little basement clubs left. Those scruffy little basement clubs were the areas lifeblood. Now, it's all penthouse flats and global brands. They destroyed the very thing that drew people there in the first place - it's superficial sleaziness. ~ Derek Ridgers
Subtracting quotes by Derek Ridgers
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful. ~ John Maeda
