Конечно, в природе так не бывает, ведь если провести блок по столу, он остановится, но это потому, что он не предоставлен сам себе - он трется о стол. — Of course this never appears to be the case in nature, for if we slide a block across a table it stops, but that is because it is not left to itself—it is rubbing against the table.

Открытие законов динамики, или законов движения, стало драматическим моментом в истории науки.

До Ньютона движение таких вещей, как планеты, было загадкой, но после Ньютона наступило полное понимание.

Даже небольшие отклонения от законов Кеплера, вызванные возмущениями планет, можно было вычислить.

Движения маятников, осцилляторов с пружинами и грузами и так далее - все это можно было полностью проанализировать после того, как были сформулированы законы Ньютона.

Так и с этой главой: до этой главы мы не могли рассчитать, как будет двигаться масса на пружине; тем более мы не могли рассчитать возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном.

После этой главы мы сможем вычислить не только движение колеблющейся массы, но и возмущения на планете Уран, вызванные Юпитером и Сатурном!

Галилей сделал большой шаг вперед в понимании движения, когда открыл принцип инерции: если объект оставлен в покое, не потревожен, он продолжает двигаться с постоянной скоростью по прямой линии, если он изначально был движущимся, или продолжает стоять на месте, если он просто стоял на месте.

Чтобы найти правильное правило, требовалось определенное воображение, и это воображение было предоставлено Галилеем.

I've done the most awful rubbish in order to have somewhere to go in the morning.

Of course I danced a lot when I was making 'Swingers.' The swing music scene was big in Hollywood, and I went to places like The Derby. And, after I wrote it and was trying to get it made, I would go every week so I'd be good at dancing.

So yes, I do want to try and keep things going if I can. I have a few things brewing... And if it doesn't happen, I did buy an ice cream van a while ago. So I always have that to fall back on.

To single out a particular group and say we can't make a joke about them is almost a form of prejudice and it's kind of patronizing.

Nurturing is not complex. Its simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.

The greatest in heroes in life are the anonymous. That's what I believe. Your neighbours are heroes. People who, when you walk down the street, you see them feeding their little baby - these people are heroes because they are living under difficult situations, but they're still trying to save a life.

Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me.

As I obsess about my ancient problems, I feel more like I'm sinking in quicksand than lighting a torch. I'm creating neither heat nor light, just the icky, perversely pleasurable squish of self-pity between my toes. My only defense is that I'm not the only one down here in the muck - our whole culture is doting on tales of personal tragedy.

Fires the sun unwindin itself out o the wood.

It's Kennedy's war, Vietnam. Lyndon Johnson got all the flak, but it's Kennedy's war.

A reversal is just anything that's a surprise. It's a way of keeping the audience interested.

To me, music shouldn't be ego-driven. When you go out on stage and play songs, it is. But when you're sitting in a room, writing songs, it's a completely different process. It's a completely different place. It's a creative place, a musical place. It has nothing to do with who likes what.

The good of man is the active exercise of his souls faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue or if there be several human excellences or virtues in conformity with the best and most perfect among them.

Wicked men obey from fear good men from love.

There was a time when country never used to do videos.

I am interested in the way that we look at a given landscape and take possession of it in our blood and brain. None of us lives apart from the land entirely; such an isolation is unimaginable.

Ten episodes goes by really quickly, especially when you've got a really tough shooting schedule of seven-day episodes.

It is better that ten guilty escape than one innocent suffer.

I'd love to see more businesses take this approach - intentionally rightsizing themselves. Hit a number that feels good and say, 'Let's stick around here.'

Bookstores should be located not only on campuses or on main drags, but at the assembly plant's gates, also.

As a director, the biggest job is to discern the imperfections in emotional tone and then view it in the global picture of what you're trying to do, if that makes sense. It's a rhythm, like music is a rhythm or composition and art is a rhythm. Dialogue is a rhythm as well.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

The federal government neither has the power to site transmission lines, nor do we build them. That's done, as people know, in their own communities. The siting decisions and the permitting is done at the local level, or by state governments if it's interstate in nature. And federal government - this is one area we have no authority.

Physical intimacy isn’t and can never be an effective substitute for emotional intimacy.
