“My success has been something I've worked a long time at and it's been a gradual process. I compare it to the idea of someone losing a lot of weight over a period of a few years. You don't really notice the weight loss overall but if you compare photos from then and now there's a big difference.” IfsYearsLongHas BeensIdeasBigsProcessDifferencesLossPeriodsLong TimeLosingWeightCompareWeight Loss Author:Ray William Johnson

“I've been wearing hearing aids for a long time. The technology available now is simply unbelievable. When I compare the new digital products to what we had 30 years ago, it's an amazing difference.... There was a time when I couldn't hear what most people said to me, most of the time. But with the hearing aids, I understand just about everything ... it really is very impressive.” PeopleYearsLongSaidDifferencesTechnologyProductsLong TimeYears AgoAvailableHearingAidsCompareDigitalUnbelievableImpressiveVery ImpressiveHearing Aids Author:Arnold Palmer
“In comparing these two writers, he [Samuel Johnson] used this expression: "that there was as great a difference between them as between a man who knew how a watch was made, and a man who could tell the hour by looking on the dial-plate." This was a short and a figurative statement of his distinction between drawing characters of nature and characters only of manners, but I cannot help being of opinion, that the neat watches of Fielding are as well constructed as the large clocks of Richardson, and that his dial plates are brighter.” MenWellsMadeTwoCharacterHelpingUsedHoursDifferencesOpinionWatchesExpressionDrawingStatementsMannersCompareClockDistinctionPlatesJohnsonBrighterNeat Author:James Boswell
“To me, there's a huge difference between criticism and reviewing. I really love reading good criticism of television and film. To me, a critic is someone who analyzes a show, describes it, talks about the people in it, puts it in historical context of other shows like it, compares it and stuff, and then talks about the intent of the show and whether it failed or didn't.” PeopleShowsFilmReadingStuffDifferencesTelevisionHugeCriticismHistoricalCriticsCompareLove Of ReadingHistorical Context Author:Louis C.

“I think the ambiguity of similarity and difference is very powerful. It's the same scene in different times of year read across the grid, and, of course, different locations reading vertically. But you can get confused and lost in the series. You force the mind, which is always comparing and contrasting, to stumble ... That ambiguity is very powerful. One is getting lost and refinding oneself.” ThinkingYearsMindDifferentCoursesReadingLostForceDifferencesPowerfulSceneSeriesOneselfCompareConfusedLocationAmbiguityVery PowerfulSimilarityDifferent TimesGridsGetting LostFinding OneselfLost And Confused Author:David Hockney
