Even with cameras being very cheap, one thing that researchers noticed was that you look really bad in a videoconference image because the lighting is bad and you get shadows and things.

People have never looked so ugly as they do today. We just consume far too much.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I’ll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But… it is better to be good than to be ugly.

Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists.

The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.

I’m a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it’s not going to upset her.

I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.

Is the babe young? When I behold it, it seems more venerable than the oldest man.

In energy, you have to plan and do research way in advance, sometimes decades in advance to get a new system that’s safer, doesn’t require us to go around the world to get all our oil.

Few professors would dare to publish research or teach a course debunking the claims made in various ethnic, gender, or other ‚studies‘ courses.

In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.

I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance.

In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.

It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.

The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.

Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

A man’s face is his autobiography. A woman’s face is her work of fiction.

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work.

She is a peacock in everything but beauty.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you’re a Christian you’ve got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It’s no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that’s going to go, ‚Yeah, give me some of that?‘

We’re always, by the way, in fundamental physics, always trying to investigate those things in which we don’t understand the conclusions. After we’ve checked them enough, we’re okay.

I don’t believe in signing anything and everything that comes my way. I leave it to my agency to help narrow them down for me, but I do research it myself before signing. The image of the brand and its ambassadors go hand in hand.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

We have to build the capacity of our institutions, employees and workers. Our regulatory environment has not been encouraging to research, innovation and enterprise.

I don’t do research. I never have.

It is hard to overstate how valuable it is to have all the incredible tools that are used for human disease to study plants.

Particularly Instagram, people look like they have a much better life than they really do. People basically seem like they are way better-looking than they really are, and they are way happier-seeming than they really are.

I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.

I’ve just finished my 20th book this past year and I’m working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I’ll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research, I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I’m an artist too.

FaceTime helps me a lot. I feel like I’m at home even though I’m not.

I thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in ’86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them.

Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

Study men, not historians.

I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.

In my research, I’ve interviewed a lot of people who never fit in, who are what you might call ‚different‘: scientists, artists, thinkers. And if you drop down deep into their work and who they are, there is a tremendous amount of self-acceptance.

Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

Language is one component of the human cognitive capacity which happens to be fairly amenable to enquiry. So we know a good deal about that.

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.

I’d done a lot of research in Hollywood and in academia. I love research and so I wanted to kind of ground the book in history, in things that I read that were universal and timeless and then kind of let my own experiences sort of filter through all of this history.

After Hiroshima was bombed, I saw a photograph of the side of a house with the shadows of the people who had lived there burned into the wall from the intensity of the bomb. The people were gone, but their shadows remained.

The quality of research in the U.S. is absolutely the best.

No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.

Cosmology is a rapidly advancing field.

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

No one could have been nicer, classier nor better looking than Dick Clark. I’ve had a crush on him since I was a teenager.

I don’t care if you get up in the morning and don’t wash, don’t put any make-up on, don’t do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.

All of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren’t the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.

As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us – aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.

The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.

Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.
