Regardless what technology is, I like analog too. — Lou Gramm
Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth. — Adrian Belew
One minute we're over here, the next minute we're doing something completely different. But it's interesting because you are producing so many things you couldn't do with analog. — Les Paul
A photograph is analogous to a plaster cast taken from life, which is always inferior to a good statue. — Jean-Francois Millet
The picture is the imitation and converted reality of the goods, in short, an indirect substitute for reality. — Herbert Bayer
I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way. — Randy Castillo
[A Polaroid camera] places before you a thing that is more of the thing than the thing was. — Edwin Land
The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly. — Demetri Martin
Computers and electronic music are not the opposite of the warm human music. It's exactly the same. — Bill Laswell
Asymmetry is the rhythmic expression of funtional design. In addition to being more logical, asymmetry has the advantage that its complete appearance is far more optically effective than symmetry. — Jan Tschichold
The photogram, or camera-less record of forms produced by light, which embodies the unique nature of the photographic process, is the real key to photography. — Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
A display connected to a digital computer gives us a chance to gain familiarity with concepts not realizable in the physical world. It is a looking glass into a mathematical wonderland. — Ivan Sutherland
Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl. — Neil Young
Kodak sells film, but they don't advertise film; they advertise memories. — Theodore Levitt
With all its technical sophistication, the photographic camera remains a coarse device compared to the human hand and brain. — Claude Levi-Strauss
Short Analog Quotes
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words. — Elliott Erwitt
Falling asleep is like landing a plane. — Matthew Walker
Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them. — Joseph Fourier
Historical analogy is the last refuge of people who can't grasp the current situation. — Kim Stanley
The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities. — George Eliot
Analogies, it is true, decide nothing, but they can make one feel more at home. — Sigmund Freud
. . . all meaning comes from analogies. — Douglas Hofstadter
We are analog beings living in a digital world, facing a quantum future. — Neil Turok
For architecture, nature provides only indications and analogies, not models to imitate. — Leon Krier
Good mathematicians see analogies. Great mathematicians see analogies between analogies. — Stefan Banach
Analog Image Quotes
Analogies Quotes
I really don't like that family analogy too much. Families have a lot of dysfunction and families often don't have a goal. The point of a team is that there's a goal we're working together to do this thing and with families, that's not really their function. — Kyle Roof
What we want to be is something completely new. There is no physical analog for what Amazon.com is becoming. — Jeff Bezos
Everything lives by movement, everything is maintained by equilibrium, and harmony results from the analogy of contraries; this law is the form of forms. — Eliphas Levi
Well, I think first of all, probably the most fundamental thing is that we are a mixed-signal analog semiconductor company, which, along with some of the other well-known names in the industry, enjoys very good economics. — David Milne
There are a significant number of people who appreciate what we do, and most of them gravitate to Analog because this is where they can find it. The other magazines tend to share their audiences, which may result in each of them having a smaller market share. — Stanley Schmidt
Don’t tell me the glass is half-full or half-empty; you either have something in that glass or you don’t. — Tim Grover
The principle of equity first came into evidence in Roman jurisprudence and was derived by analogy from the physical meaning of the word. — Herbert Read
The Living-Wage Campaign at Harvard is like a Boston winter: you know it's going to strike, but wonder only when and how hard. — Vivek Ramaswamy
The nose tends to work in the same way. Sprays, rinses, and allergy medications can help quickly clear minor congestion, but for more serious chronic obstruction, we’ll need a surgeon to plumb the path. I heard this analogy a lot. — James Nestor
If genius has any common denominator, I would propose breadth of interest and the ability to construct fruitful analogies between fields. — Stephen Jay Gould
Analogue Quotes
We still don’t have a clue about what’s going on in the human brain. We have theories; we just don’t know for sure. We can’t build an electrical circuit, digital or analogue or other, that mimics the biological system. We can’t emulate the behavior. One day in the future, we think we can. — Annie Jacobsen
It has sometimes been said that we find nowhere in nature an analogue of the difference between happens and is, on the one hand, and ought, on the other hand. — Wolfgang Kohler
Evolution is an obstacle course not a freeway; the correct analogue for long-term success is a distant punt receiver evading legions of would-be tacklers in an oddly zigzagged path toward a goal, not a horse thundering down the flat. — Stephen Jay Gould
Patience is the analogue of God's serenity. — Austin O'Malley
In many cases a dull proof can be supplemented by a geometric analogue so simple and beautiful that the truth of a theorem is almost seen at a glance. — Martin Gardner
For the writer, the serial killer is, abstractly, an analogue of the imagination's caprices and amorality; the sense that, no matter the dictates and even the wishes of the conscious social self, the life or will or purpose of the imagination is incomprehensible, unpredictable. — Joyce Carol Oates
There are something like 18 billion cells in the brain alone. There are no two brains alike; there are no two hands alike; there are no two human beings alike. You can take your instructions and your guidance from others, but you must find your own path. — Joseph Campbell
The rhythms of nature - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music. — George Crumb
A non-analogue image has an extremely compressed life. It starts as this and, in increasingly short time spans, becomes that. — Roni Horn
We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played. — Alan Watts
There's a strong distinction to be made between dry code smart contracts and wet code's physical law. So law is based on our minds, our wetware - it's based on analogy. The law is more flexible; software is more rigid. Various laws tend to be batched in jurisdictional silos. Software tends to be independent. — Nick Szabo
What is real? Is there more to reality than meets the eye? Yes! was Plato’s answer over two millennia ago. In his famous cave analogy, he likened us to people who’d lived their entire lives shackled in a cave, facing a blank wall, watching the shadows cast by things passing behind them, and eventually coming to mistakenly believe that these shadows were the full reality. Plato argued that what we humans call our everyday reality is similarly just a limited and distorted representation of the true reality, and that we must free ourselves from our mental shackles to begin comprehending it. — Max Tegmark
True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization, although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world. — Franz Bardon
It’s almost hard to imagine anything more undemocratic than the view that political officials should not debate American wars in public, but only express concerns ‘privately with the administration.’ That’s just a small sliver of Johnson’s radicalism: replacing Feingold in the Senate with Ron Johnson would be a civil liberties travesty analogous to the economic travesty from, say, replacing Bernie Sanders with Lloyd Blankfein. — Glenn Greenwald
To make the analogy explicit, in Software 1.0, human-engineered source code e.g. some .cpp files is compiled into a binary that does useful work. In Software 2.0 most often the source code comprises 1 the dataset that defines the desirable behavior and 2 the neural net architecture that gives the rough skeleton of the code, but with many details the weights to be filled in. The process of training the neural network compiles the dataset into the binary — the final neural network. In most practical applications today, the neural net architectures and the training systems are increasingly standardized into a commodity, so most of the active software development takes the form of curating, growing, massaging and cleaning labeled datasets. — Andrej Karpathy
Subjective conscious mind is an analog of what is called the real world. It is built up with a vocabulary or lexical field whose terms are all metaphors or analogs of behavior in the physical world. — Julian Jaynes
Conscious mind is a spatial analog of the world and mental acts are analogs of bodily acts. Consciousness operates only on objectively observable things. Or, to say it another way with echoes of John Locke, there is nothing in consciousness that is not an analog of something that was in behavior first. — Julian Jaynes
We own the Federal Reserve. There is this misconception that the Federal Reserve is some private entity. But if I might give an analogy here, we - U.S. taxpayers - own all the stock in the Federal Reserve. — Gary Johnson
In the world of the very small, where particle and wave aspects of reality are equally significant, things do not behave in any way that we can understand from our experience of the everyday world...all pictures are false, and there is no physical analogy we can make to understand what goes on inside atoms. Atoms behave like atoms, nothing else. — John Gribbin
I think generally people’s thinking process is too bound by convention or analogy to prior experiences. It’s rare that people try to think of something on a first principles basis. They’ll say, We’ll do that because it’s always been done that way. Or they’ll not do it because Well, nobody’s ever done that, so it must not be good. — Tim Urban
Having a highly trained obstetrical surgeon attend a normal birth is analogous to having a pediatric surgeon babysit a healthy 2-year-old. — Marsden Wagner
We often attribute 'understanding' and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars, adding machines, and other artifacts, but nothing is proved by such attributions. — John Searle
I am attracted to ellipsis, to the unsaid, to suggestion, to eloquent, deliberate silence. The unsaid, for me, exerts great power: often I wish an entire poem could be made in this vocabulary. It is analogous to the unseen. — Louise Glück
The principal result of my investigation is that a uniform developmental principle controls the individual elementary units of all organisms, analogous to the finding that crystals are formed by the same laws in spite of the diversity of their forms. — Theodor Schwann
The reason I often say, for me, photography is analogous to poetry, for my kind of work more so than journalism, is because it's so open to interpretation. And I'm very happy having different interpretations of it. — Alec Soth
When the elements are arranged in vertical columns according to increasing atomic weight, so that the horizontal lines contain analogous elements again according to increasing atomic weight, an arrangement results from which several general conclusions may be drawn. — Dmitri Mendeleev
Don’t just follow the trend. You may have heard me say that it’s good to think in terms of the physics approach of first principles. Which is, rather than reasoning by analogy, you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine and you reason up from there. — Elon Musk
The real achievement in discoveries... is seeing an analogy where no one saw one before... The essence of discovery is that unlikely marriage of cabbages and kings — of previously unrelated frames of reference or universes of discourse — whose union will solve the previously insoluble problem. — Arthur Koestler
A lot of people give up when the world seems to be against them, but that's the point when you should push a little harder. I use the analogy of running a race. It seems as though you can’t carry on, but if you just get through the pain barrier, you'll see the end and be okay. Often, just around the corner is where the solution will happen. — James Dyson
A good analogy is stretching a rubber band. You can stretch and stretch and even feel the tension increase in the muscles in your hands and arms as the gap from one end of the band to the other widens. But at some point you reach the limits of elasticity of the band and it snaps. The same thing happens with human systems. — John L. Casti
I do believe that the analogy for bisexuality is a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multiracial world view. Bisexuality follows from such a perspective and leads to it, as well. — June Jordan
