Mathematics may be defined as the economy of counting. There is no problem in the whole of mathematics which cannot be solved by direct counting Picture Quote #1

Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face Picture Quote #1

The clich? that women, more consistently than men, turn inward for sustenance seems to mean, in practice, that women have richly defined the ways in which imagination creates possibility; possibility that society denies Picture Quote #1

Oddly, the meanings of books are defined for me much more by their beginnings and middles than they are by their endings Picture Quote #1

For me, you don’t ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. That’s what I’ve tried to go out and do Picture Quote #1

Elegance isn’t solely defined by what you wear. It’s how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read Picture Quote #1

I believe our legacy will be defined by the accomplishments and fearless nature by which our daughters and sons take on the global challenges we face. I also wonder if perhaps the most lasting expression of one’s humility lies in our ability to foster and mentor our children Picture Quote #1

Young kids don’t have their identity, so everything is so important. Now I’m mature. I know who I am and I know what my thing is and I know what I’m bringing. It’s very clear and defined Picture Quote #1

We are not defined by the family into which we are born, but the one we choose and create. We are not born, we become Picture Quote #1

The mind can forget what the body, defined by each breath, subject to the heart beating, does not Picture Quote #1

There’s something very freeing about losing the anchors that have always defined you. Frightening, sad, but exhilarating in a poignant way, as well. You’re free to float to the moon and evaporate or sink to the bottom of the deepest ocean. But you’re free to explore. Some people confuse that with drifting, I suppose. I like to think of it as growing Picture Quote #1

In death, we are not defined by what we did or who we were but by what we meant to others. How well we loved and were loved in return Picture Quote #1

We were defined by what we did. What we had to do. I think this is why guys like football, and why they join the army, because as long as you are playing the game or following orders you do not have to figure out who you really are Picture Quote #1

To know who I am is a species of knowing where I stand. My identity is defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done, or what I endorse or oppose. In other words, it is the horizon within which I am capable of taking a stand Picture Quote #1

The process of writing a novel is like taking a journey by boat. You have to continually set yourself on course. If you get distracted or allow yourself to drift, you will never make it to the destination. It’s not like highly defined train tracks or a highway; this is a path that you are creating discovering. The journey is your narrative. Keep to it and there will be a tale told Picture Quote #1

If we are defined by reason and morality, then reason and morality must define our choices, even when animals are concerned. When people say, for example, that they like their veal or hot dogs too much to ever give them up, and yeah it’s sad about the farms but that’s just the way it is, reason hears in that the voice of gluttony. We can say that what makes a human being human is precisely the ability to understand that the suffering of an animal is more important than the taste of a treat Picture Quote #1

Humans aren’t defined by death, and they’re not defined by what they lack. They’re defined by their connections Picture Quote #1

He defined himself almost wholly in the negative: It was not who he was, it was who he was not Picture Quote #1

We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so Picture Quote #1

... you are defined not by life’s imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them Picture Quote #1

... you are defined by how you live your life, not whom you live it with, and certainly not by what you gave up to be with that person Picture Quote #1

With every step I took away from her, the movement at my heart and between my legs grew more defined: I felt like a ventriloquist, locking his protesting dolls in to a trunk Picture Quote #1

Nothing, she now knew, could be defined in exclusion, and every bug, pencil, and grass blade was a dictionary in itself, requiring the definitions of all things to fulfill its own Picture Quote #1

In fact, every woman I met seemed disposable and replaceable. I was experiencing seducer’s paradox: The better a seducer I became, the less I loved women. Success was no longer defined by getting laid or finding a girlfriend, but by how well I performed Picture Quote #1

Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness, but rather by the presence of clear strengths Picture Quote #1

Nothing enrages me more than when people criticize my criticism of school by telling me that schools are not just places to learn maths and spelling, they are places where children learn a vaguely defined thing called socialization... I think schools generally do an effective and terribly damaging job of teaching children to be infantile, dependent, intellectually dishonest, passive and disrespectful to their own developmental capacities Picture Quote #1

Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What’s left is magic. And it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

Of the liberty of conscience in matters of religious faith, of speech and of the press; of the trial by jury of the vicinage in civil and criminal cases; of the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; of the right to keep and bear arms... If these rights are well defined, and secured against encroachment, it is impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny Picture Quote #1

An act cannot be defined by the end sought by the actor, for an identical system of behaviour may be adjustable to too many different ends without altering its nature Picture Quote #1

Greatness is defined by someone who is not simply awesome and wonderful in the sport they compete in but goes beyond that and is great in whatever they do off the track or off the court Picture Quote #1
