“If that's your definition of the Clinton faction, then I think that that seems to be in ascendancy.

“I don’t have a definition of God, because I’ve never really understood that word. People have different understandings of it and it’s caused a great deal of conflict. If I had to say what would my definition of God be, if I were going to use that word, I would say that this universe has layers upon layers upon layers of compassion and wisdom beyond ours.” PeopleIfsDifferentUseUniverseUnderstandingDealsCompassionConflictUnderstoodDefinitionsLayers Author:Gary Zukav
“The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don't seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it's because we're engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves . . . as suppliants admitted to a shrine.” IfsSelfSeemsPleasureDealsSacrificeAccountsDefinitionsStoresEngagedExpensiveBuyingConsumptionMysticalShrinesMerchandise Author:Lewis H.

“You can't actually have a romance between friends. That sort of defeats the definition of the word "romance." The word you're looking for is "love." It's a love between friends, just as there's also love between lovers, or possible lovers, or even ex-lovers. Same holds true for "bromance" - it's just a clever word used to avoid the word love, for straight boys who don't want that old-fashioned taint of gayness. Dudes, you love each other. Deal with it.” WantRomanceUsedLove IsDealsBoysLoversDefeatDefinitionsCleverOld FashionedExesLove Each OtherWords LoveBromanceGaynessEx Lover Author:David Levithan
“It is almost as hard to define mathematics as it is to define economics, and one is tempted to fall back on the famous old definition attributed to Jacob Viner, "Economics is what economists do," and say that mathematics is what mathematicians do. A large part of mathematics deals with the formal relations of quantities or numbers.” HardFallDealsNumbersEconomicsRelationMathematicsDefinitionsQuantityMathematicianFormalEconomistTemptedFall BackJacob Author:Kenneth E.

“Many people will tell you that an expert is someone who knows a great deal about the subject. To this I would object that one can never know much about any subject.
