“In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission of a spectral line appeared to me to be the result of the coherence and co-operation of several electric quanta.” WholeIndividualLinesResultsViewsStructureOperationsAtomsElectricQuantumEmissionsInterconnectedCoherence Author:Johannes Stark
“In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.” YearsWellsIdeasEnoughTimeResultsPayFiveGreaterFeetSourceInvolvedThousandResourcesYears AgoInvestmentDeeperSurfaceOilOperationsMore TimeTexasNatural Resources Author:Alfred Armand Montapert
“In certain cases, a man blind from birth may have an operation performed which gives him his sight. The result: frequently misery, confusion, disorientation. The light that illumines the madman is an unearthly light, but I do not believe it is a projection, an emanation from his mundane ego. He is irradiated by a light that is more than he.

“The sun by the action of heat makes wax moist and mud dry, hardening the one while it softens the other, by the same operation producing exactly opposite results; thus, from the long-suffering of God, some derive benefit, and others harm; some are softened, while others are hardened.” LongActionSufferingResultsSunBenefitsOppositesHarmOperationsHeatDryMudHardenedLong Suffering Author:Theodoret

“I am convinced that in the arts, committees are useless. What is necessary are people like Karajan, [fellow recording producer John] Culshaw and me; we know not only how to achieve the best artistic results but how to attract the public and carry out the whole operation with carefully chosen collaborators. Democracy is fatal for the arts; it leads only to chaos or the achievement of new and lower common denominators of quality.” PeopleKnowsArtWholeResultsCommonQualityDemocracyAchieveAchievementFellowsChaosConvincedChosenProducersArtisticUselessOperationsCommitteesCollaboratorsCommon DenominatorBest Artist Author:Walter Legge
“A convention is a social pattern we have chosen to prefer over whatever the raw world simply proffers. It is a sign of the operation of the mind, drawing the assent of a sufficient number of other minds so that the agreement will be widely operative. A convention is not a custom; a custom is a habit in which a sufficient number acquiesce. A custom can appear as a convention, but it is really a lesser act, the result of passive acceptance rather than of the imposition of design. It is the difference between learning to live by the annual flooding of the river or by a calendar.” WorldMindSocialDifferencesResultsNumbersDesignAcceptanceHabitRiversPatternsDrawingChosenOperationsSufficientAgreementLive ByCustomsConventionsPassiveCalendarsAnnualsFloodingImposition Author:A.

“Secondly, figures, the symbols of numerical magnitude, are frequently also the symbols of operations, as when they are the indices of powers.

“More than 200 ships from 13 nations conducted over 10,000 flawless intercepts, which formed a steel wall around the waters leading to Iraq. And these operations continue today. Thanks to these superb efferts not one cargo hold, not one crate, not even one pallet of seaborne contraband even touched Saddam Hussein's shores. The result: Iraq lost 90% of its imports, 100% of its exports, and had its gross national product cut in half.” WarTodayLostNationsWaterResultsHalfCuttingProductsWallIraqShipsThanksOperationsTouchedShoreSteelSaddamGrossHusseinImportsSuperbFlawlessGulf WarCargoPallets Author:Norman Schwarzkopf
