One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies Picture Quote #1

No historical analogies are exactly precise Picture Quote #1

For architecture, nature provides only indications and analogies, not models to imitate Picture Quote #1

Concepts like these can seem remote, until you explain with analogies taken from everyday life. But unfortunately some ideas do not lend themselves to familiar analogies Picture Quote #1

It may be said, almost without qualification, that true wisdom consists in the ready and accurate perception of analogies. Without the former quality, knowledge of the past is unobstructive: without the latter it is deceptive Picture Quote #1

The eye instinctively looks for analogies and amplifies them, so that a face imagined in the pattern of a wallpaper may become more vivid than a photograph Picture Quote #1

Analogies prove nothing, that is quite true, but they can make one feel more at home Picture Quote #1

The debate analysis in the media is rampant with contest analogies of war, baseball, boxing, football; you name it. Any testosterone contest imaginable is fair game Picture Quote #1

Good mathematicians see analogies. Great mathematicians see analogies between analogies Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a big music guy for a long time and a lot of my books have music in them so I like music analogies Picture Quote #1

As I wrote I began to see more strongly that there were inescapable analogies. You couldn’t really live through the 80s without feeling how crass and distasteful some of the economic doctrines were. The slave trade is a perfect model for that kind of total devotion to the profit motive without reckoning the human consequences Picture Quote #1

The mind of a human being is formed only of comparisons made in order to examine analogies, and therefore cannot precede the existence of memory Picture Quote #1

If one looks at the different problems of the integral calculus which arise naturally when one wishes to go deep into the different parts of physics, it is impossible not to be struck by the analogies existing Picture Quote #1

Education is a set of analogies to a genuinely human existence, of which the arts are the model. Merely human life is of course a demonic analogy or parody of genuinely human life Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales and mythology have always been an exaggerated distillation of the real world. Think of them as blueprints for how to deal with a multitude of situations that can arise in a person’s life. The beauty of them is that their analogies resonate so deeply and they also entertain while they teach Picture Quote #1

I would like to try to understand what is. We know very little, and I am trying to do it by creating analogies. Almost every work of art is an analogy Picture Quote #1

While analogies are useful, however, they can also be misleading. They smuggle in assumptions that can be wrong Picture Quote #1

After all, the past is our only real guide to the future, and historical analogies are instruments for distilling and organizing the past and converting it to a map by which we can navigate Picture Quote #1

An immune system of enormous complexity is present in all vertebrate animals. When we place a population of lymphocytes from such an animal in appropriate tissue culture fluid, and when we add an antigen, the lymphocytes will produce specific antibody molecules, in the absense of any nerve cells. I find it astonishing that the immune system embodies a degree of complexity which suggests some more or less superficial though striking analogies with human language, and that this cognitive system has evolved and functions without assistance of the brain Picture Quote #1

We know that attention acts as a lightning rod. Merely by concentrating on something one causes endless analogies to collect around it, even penetrate the boundaries of the subject itself: an experience that we call coincidence, serendipity – the terminology is extensive. My experience has been that in these circular travels what is really significant surrounds a central absence, an absence that, paradoxically, is the text being written or to be written Picture Quote #1

A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories Picture Quote #1
