I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world. β John Frusciante
Analog Quotes
The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words. β Elliott Erwitt
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. β Kyle Roof
Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth. β Adrian Belew
Regardless what technology is, I like analog too. β Lou Gramm
What we want to be is something completely new. There is no physical analog for what Amazon.com is becoming. β 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. β Eliphas Levi
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. β Les Paul
I prefer recording drums in the analog format, but that does not mean I would only do it that way. β Randy Castillo
Falling asleep is like landing a plane. β Matthew Walker
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. β David Milne
Analogies Quotes
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. β Stanley Schmidt
Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them. β Joseph Fourier
Donβt tell me the glass is half-full or half-empty; you either have something in that glass or you donβt. β 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. β 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. β 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, weβll need a surgeon to plumb the path. I heard this analogy a lot. β James Nestor
If genius has any common denominator, I would propose breadth of interest and the ability to construct fruitful analogies between fields. β Stephen Jay Gould
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. β Julian Jaynes
We ownο»Ώ 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. β Gary Johnson
Having a highly trained obstetrical surgeon attend a normal birth is analogous to having a pediatric surgeon babysit a healthy 2-year-old. β Marsden Wagner
We still donβt have a clue about whatβs going on in the human brain. We have theories; we just donβt know for sure. We canβt build an electrical circuit, digital or analogue or other, that mimics the biological system. We canβt emulate the behavior. One day in the future, we think we can. β 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. β 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. β Stephen Jay Gould
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. β 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. β 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. β Joseph Campbell
Digital technology, you see, is not the villain here. It simply offers another dimension. I'm not sure if it's a farther remove from reality than analogue. I think if we can speak of reality, if reality and representation can be spoken of in the same sentence, if reality even exists any more, digital is simply another way of encoding that reality. β Lewis Baltz
The rhythms of nature - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music. β George Crumb
A non-analogue image has an extremely compressed life. It starts as this and, in increasingly short time spans, becomes that. β Roni Horn
I've had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine. β Billy Sherwood
To many writers and thinkers, though not to all, another text is, or can be, the most naked and charged of life-forces ... The concept of allusion or analogue is totally inadequate. To Dante these other texts are the organic context of identity. They are as directly about life as life is about them. β George Steiner
The peculiar interest of magic squares and all lusus numerorum in general lies in the fact that they possess the charm of mystery. They appear to betray some hidden intelligence which by a preconceived plan produces the impression of intentional design, a phenomenon which finds its close analogue in nature. β Paul Carus
Our purpose is simply to ask how theological principles can be shown to have usable secular analogues that throw light upon the nature of language. β Kenneth Burke
We must rebuild organic communities, where people can come together and have analogue conversations and share stories, art, music and emotions. β Bryant H. McGill
The artistic experience, at its highest, was actually a natural analogue of mystical experience. It produced a kind of intuitive of perception. β Thomas Merton
Analogue. A part or organ in one animal which has the same function as another part or organ in a different animal. β Richard Owen
In a broader sense, the rhythms of nature, large and small - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music. β George Crumb
Ants offer special advantages for some important kinds of basic biological research. The colony is a superorganism. It can be analyzed as a coherent unit and compared with the organism in the design of experiments, with the individuals treated as the rough analogues of cells. β Bert Holldobler
You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme; that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life. β Dorothy Dunnett
Being a DJ is so easy. I can put headphones in this pocket, USB sticks in the other and that's it - I'm a DJ. But when I do the live show I'm bringing all this fragile analogue synthesizer equipment and dealing with three-hour sound checks and all that. β Jacques Greene
What I love about analogue is it really forces you to go for a performance. I hear these young bands play perfect and they've been manipulated so much that there's not much personality to them. It's taken away some of the rawness and immediacy you get from a human performance. β Butch Vig
I love analogue tape and I love digital, they both have pluses and minuses and I don't really feel like I have to use one or the other. I love digital because it's really great for songwriting because you can just cut and move choruses around and pull chunks of songs. It's really easy to hear quickly "Oh, maybe the arrangement should be like this." β Butch Vig
If we look at everybody's darling, China, there is an analogue called Taiwan that is inhabited by the Chinese as well. But the standard of living and of innovation of the Taiwanese economy cannot be compared with the Chinese growth rate. β Garry Kasparov
We had always used found sound, but we had always used it in an analogue way. And it was the early days of using collage and sound in a digital way. MTV, a couple of years later would be that way. β Stephen Mallinder
A lot of the people that I play with are electronic-based, so there isn't a direct physical analogue between what they're doing and the sound you're hearing. β Z'EV
Vinyl's just a fun endgame step. I work with analogue signal chains too, but the mp3 is the way I listen to music. β Tim Hecker
I've got a new studio set up very much based around live mixing and also mixing analogue and digital systems. Inspired by the late King Tubby and Scientist. β Subb-an
All human affairs follow nature's great analogue, the growth of vegetation. There are three periods of growth in every plant. The first, and slowest, is the invisible growth by the root; the second and much accelerated is the visible growth by the stem; but when root and stem have gathered their forces, there comes the third period, in which the plant quickly flashes into blossom and rushes into fruit. β Henry Ward Beecher
Technology is usually there to let some process go on hidden in the background. For us on 'MythBusters,' we're always trying to make the process apparent. So, we have learned to try and never rely on a technological solution when an analogue one is in front of us. β Adam Savage
The photograph contains and constrains within its own boundaries, excluding all else, a microcosmic analogue of the framing of space which is knowledge. As such it becomes a metaphor of power, having the ability to appropriate and decontextualize time and space and those who exist within it. β Elizabeth Edwards
I think present-day reason is an analogue of the flat earth of the medieval period. If you go too far beyond it you're presumed to fall off, into insanity. And people are very much afraid of that. I think this fear of insanity is comparable to the fear people once had of falling off the edge of the world. Or the fear of heretics. There's a very close analogue there. β Robert M. Pirsig
The mighty steam-engine has its germ in the simple boiler in which the peasant prepares his food. The huge ship is but the expansion of the floating leaf freighted with its cargo of atmospheric dust; and the flying balloon is but the infant's soap-bubble lightly laden and overgrown. But the Telescope, even in its most elementary form, embodies a novel and gigantic idea, without an analogue in nature, and without a prototype in experience β John Timbs
Where hunters and woodcutters once slept in their boots by the dying light of their thousand fires and went on, old teutonic forebears with eyes incandesced by the visionary light of a massive rapacity, wave on wave of the violent and the insane, their brains stoked with spoorless analogues of all that was, lean aryans with their abrogate Semitic chapbook reenacting the dramas and parable therein. β Cormac McCarthy
