It has become a cliché to announce that 'we live in a remix culture'... What was referred to in post-modern times as quoting, appropriation, and pastiche no longer needs any special name. Now this is simlpy the basic logic of cultural production. — Lev Manovich

And I want women to be modest in their appearance.

The normal curve is a distribution most appropriate to chance and random activity. Education is a purposeful activity and we seek to have students learn what we would teach.

When the Body Gets working appropriately, the force of Gravity can flow through, then spontaneously, the body heals itself — Ida Rolf

The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up.

Ah, afflicted one, your disabilities were meant to unite with God's enablings, your weakness to mate His power. God's grace is at hand -sufficent-- and at its best when human weakness is most profound. Appropriate it and learn that those who wait on God are stronger in their weakness than the sons of men in their stoutest health and vigor. — F.B. Meyer
So, a strong commitment from all wealth creators is needed to fight against socialism and statism, and understand that if this is not done, socialists will always keep trying. Because what's the point? As they try to live off others without working, they are tireless in seeking this because their life's motto is to live off others. So they never give up on this mechanism of appropriating wealth and income from others. So this battle has to be waged continuously; you can't rest because when you rest, socialism advances. — Javier Milei
It's a very Aboriginal thing to do, to give younger people greater responsibilities within the community as they become able to take those responsibilities on. It is a culturally appropriate transfer of roles that involves respect in both directions.. from the younger to the older and the older to the younger. — Jackie Huggins
This very human set of survival skills is partly why we’re still here while so many other species are not. We’re able to take control — or at least believe that we’re in control — while the best other beings can do is to react appropriately when the trouble starts. — Mo Gawdat
Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created. — Ida P. Rolf
The first step in wisdom is to know the things themselves; this notion consists in having a true idea of the objects; objects are distinguished and known by classifying them methodically and giving them appropriate names. Therefore, classification and name-giving will be the foundation of our science. — Carl Linnaeus
And from the time I was a kid, I've had this internal monologue roaring through my head, which doesn't stop - unless I'm asleep. I'm sure every person has this; it's just that my monologue is particularly loud. And particularly troublesome. I'm constantly asking myself questions. And the problem with that is that your brain is like a computer: If you ask a question, it's programmed to respond, whether there's an answer or not. I'm constantly weighing everything in my mind and trying to predict how my actions will influence events. Or maybe manipulate events are the more appropriate words. It's like playing a game of chess with your own life. And I hate fucking chess! — Jordan Belfort
Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created. — Ida Rolf

It is particularly appropriate that we unveil this campaign on this first day of the annual international coastal clean-up effort. Beach cleanups are something each of us can do any time of the year.
