Discrete Quotations

A discrete series is a series of terms each of which is empirically derived, each one of which is empirically true. And this is the reason for the fragmentary character of those poems.

The law of right-left symmetry was used in classical physics but was not of any great practical importance there. One reason for this derives from the fact that right-left symmetry is a discrete symmetry, unlike rotational symmetry, which is continuous.

The three discrete invariances - reflection invariance, charge conjugation invariance, and time reversal invariance - are connected by an important theorem called the CPT theorem.

Is a family just the strict definition of a small and discrete unit, or is it about the larger organic group that inevitably grows up around the smaller one?

In fact, I think when we carry out a complete analysis of time, I think what we're going to discover is that like matter, time is composed of elemental, discrete types.

Climate change is not a discrete issue; it's a symptom of larger problems. Fundamentally, our society as currently designed has no future. We're chewing up the planet so fast, in so many different ways, that we could solve the climate problem tomorrow and still find that environmental collapse is imminent.

Old money in Southeast Asia is much more discrete and low key. It's about not wearing brand names. It's about being invisible, almost. The billionaire can be taking the bus with you.

I find it endlessly interesting, endlessly funny, the fact that we're rather arbitrarily divided up into these discrete humans and that your physical self, your physical attributes, your moment of history and the place where you were born determine who you are as much as all that indefinable stuff that's inside of you.

There are quite a number of events, but I think they're pretty discrete and therefore, hopefully, manageable.

Without the consumer Vista push for the 2006 holidays selling season, we think that discrete graphics processing unit sales could suffer slightly.

Fall is even more luxurious than ever before, ... It's really more and more opulence, more and more fabulous fabrics, fabulous mixing, and it's all very discrete at the same time.

Applications also can be connected pretty seamlessly, which is a major shift with respect to what formerly could be achieved with respect to all these islands of automation? They can finally stop thinking about application and hardware silos -- and the discrete functions they perform -- and begin shifting their attention toward the processes themselves, which is where the real business value lies.

It's important that everyone understands that each one of the counts on the direct indictment are separate and discrete counts that are built on evidence.

In between those early ones and what I'm doing now, there were all kinds of pieces in which I tried to build works incrementally and let the increments show, so I sprayed dots or I used my finger prints or used chunks of pulp paper, or any one of a number of ways to build an image out of discrete individual units.

Identity management consists of a set of discrete products that also have elements of overlapping and common functionality: workflow a roles framework; interfaces for self-service and delegated administration, and a directory. Large vendors sought to build portfolios that would integrate by sharing these services, which simplifies their coordinated use by customers.

The electric field in this picture from discrete Faraday lines of force, which are to be treated as physical things, like strings.

The common expectation was that water would be all over the surface. But what we found was that it was in small, discrete areas.

No trauma has discrete edges. Trauma bleeds. Out of wounds and across boundaries.

If you must be indiscrete, be discrete in your indiscretion.
