Mechanics Quotations

Don't forget to let your reader feel the emotions of the scene. If you get all tied up with the mechanics of where the hero's hands are and not about how they make the heroine feel, then the scene will read flat.

Grip pressure - not mechanical flaws - is the biggest factor when you're nervous. You unconsciously grip it tighter, which keeps you from making a smooth swing with a natural release. Keep your grip pressure light, and you'll be surprised how much your mechanics stabilize.

Modern motor vehicles are safer and more reliable than they have ever been - yet more than 1 million people are killed in car accidents around the world each year, and more than 50 million are injured. Why? Largely because one perilous element in the mechanics of driving remains unperfected by progress: the human being.

I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard, and I feel that it is.

For me, not owning a car means I may spend a little extra time on public transportation, but I can use that time to read, catch up on work projects, and make the phone calls I couldn't get to earlier. Plus, I never waste time at the mechanics or gas station.

I'm not looking to be a trophy. When not acting, I spend my time studying metaphysics and quantum mechanics to keep my life as grounded as I can.

No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball thrown from pitcher to catcher seems to take just one path, the one described by Newton's laws of motion. Yet at a microscopic level, the universe behaves quite differently.

A lot people ask me, 'How do I become a voice actor?' and, well, first of all, drop the 'voice' because you don't know what mechanics you'll have to employ. If you can just focus on the acting, then the rest will come.

It really depends, but, generally speaking, just because of the mechanics of it, voice-over is easier because there is no hair, no makeup, no wardrobe, no fittings, no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body, the family life to do voice-overs.

In medicine as well as in romantic poetry, it is the heart that is the center and controlling mechanics of life. If the heart stops, life stops. The loss of sight doesn't not mean death. Yet for ages, the eyes was believed to contain a human being's vital essence - a not wholly irrational belief.

Instead of explaining the sober facts of mechanics and electricity, I want to say a few words about the debt which we owe to youth; and with your permission I shall consider you as representing here not only the academic youth of Sweden nor even of Europe but also of America.

Aeroplanes interested me, and at the outbreak of the Second World War, I joined the RAF as a volunteer reservist. I took the opportunity of studying the books which the RAF made available for radio mechanics and looked forward to an interesting course in radio.

What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum mechanics you are forced to conclude that God exists.

I got colored mechanics in the United States Navy Yard for the first time.

I'm one of a few guys on the PGA Tour who doesn't work with an instructor. I'm not saying mechanics don't matter. But I play my best when I focus on staying in a good place mentally and keep the technique simple.

A Republican philosophy goes something like this: If you take your car to the mechanic, and instead of fixing it, they take out the engine and charge you an arm and a leg, you should conclude that mechanics can't fix cars and you should probably just take yours to the junkyard and sell it for scrap metal.

Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition.

I like mechanical things; my first book was a mechanics guide - that was what my parents couldn't pry away from me; that was the blanket.

While classical mechanics correctly predicts the behavior of large objects such as tennis balls, to predict the behavior of small objects such as electrons, we must use quantum mechanics.

There is something fundamentally fascinating about the mechanics, I guess, of the human body and where consciousness and mind exist, and what you can do with the mechanics of the body while keeping those intact, and where those two cross over.

I learned the mechanics of how to fly a plane, but I never lifted a plane off the ground.

Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation.

I worked for the troops my entire time in the United States Armed Forces because we know in the United States Armed Forces that it's not the generals and the colonels that win battles, it's the soldiers: it's the people at the front, the mechanics with their wrenches, the drivers moving the logistics back in the rear.

When I'm swinging the club at my best, it's because I'm not thinking about mechanics at all. I feel like my body is loose. My arms are soft in front of me when I'm setting up, and my chest and shoulders feel as if they can move and turn easily.

The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work.

The Gamifaction Movement is trying to help companies engage their audience and community by using game mechanics and wrapping them around shopping or achievements, so you get achievements for coming to a store or purchasing things, like rewarding activities.

Anthony Powell taught me to write; he has such brilliant control of the mechanics of the novel.

Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic.

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent.

The ancients considered mechanics in a twofold respect: as rational, which proceeds accurately by demonstration, and practical. To practical mechanics all the manual arts belong, from which mechanics took its name.

Because the theory of quantum mechanics could explain all of chemistry and the various properties of substances, it was a tremendous success. But still there was the problem of the interaction of light and matter.

People don't learn science in movies. You don't go to the movies thinking, 'I hope I learn some quantum mechanics this afternoon.' But on the other hand, movies are instrumental and influential in getting young people interested in science.

There are courses you can take to learn the mechanics of the business, like the Radcliffe course, but I don't think they teach you how to edit.

When I was acting, I was always asking abut the mechanics of filmmaking. I decided I would learn what everyone on set was doing, so I would feel less threatened.

We're going to try a few things to try to clean his mechanics up a little bit. He's capable of really banging it, and he's not doing bad. We're trying to get him to that next level of consistent distance, consistent hang (time) and consistent direction.

We found some things in my mechanics that I've been doing wrong (after a rough Feb. 25 start at Hawaii), and since then I've felt really good about my outings.

Unfortunately, it took a long time to fix my mechanics, ... That's the pitcher everyone expected. That's the pitcher I expected. Today my velocity was up because my mechanics were much better.

We've got bankers, business people, mechanics and housewives.

We want him completely healthy, and we want his mechanics sound. Until that happens, he won't pitch.

We've never been inside the fault zone before. The goal has been to understand the basic mechanics of faults.

She's amazing. She locates well, and her mechanics are unbelievable. She's a smart pitcher.

My location was horrible. My mechanics are out of whack right now and it's very frustrating.

My fastball command was pretty poor, but the cutter was pretty good. The first inning had good points and bad points. Mostly, the execution wasn't there at all. For me, it's trying to get mechanics down to be consistent, and today I wasn't consistent.

Plotinus was a first rate synthetic philosopher that combined and illustrated the best aspects of prior philosophers and added his own mystic insights. His concepts are consonant with about 70% of Christian divine mechanics interestingly. The idea He had about a river of creation flowing eternally from 'The One' that is 'translated from a realm of forms or intellect into material composition reminds me quite a lot of Jesus' discussion about 'the water of life' from which she would never thirst, as Jesus was God for-himself. It is disappointing that so many have simply been formed within a non-philosophical, purely materialist intellectual criterion that is implicitly biased.

On one hand there are some mechanics that are angry because it has taken so long and a third party had to be involved, ... On the other hand many are relieved that something is on the table, and that is positive.

I was really struggling with my location, and I changed something with my mechanics three days ago. Today actually was better.

I was really screwed up mechanically, trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot. It felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. My mechanics are the best they've been in a while.

I would do it today because the thing that appealed to me was not necessarily the mechanics of the robot, but it was his personality and how funny and charming he was.

If they can find mechanics willing to work under the terms that Northwest wanted to pay, more power to them. We refuse to work under those conditions and we are prepared to walk away and start our lives somewhere else.

I don't know what adjustments I could make. My mechanics to me are about as simple as you could get.

I'm a home cook, and I'm constantly embarrassed by twentysomethings who really do know the mechanics of cooking. How to build a sauce.

I have a studio at home where I record all of my solo material from the beginning 'til the very end, thus also the ideas which later on will find their way onto yet another Mike & The Mechanics album.

I felt good (Sunday). I used all my pitches. I don't want to move too quickly like I did last year when I hurt my shoulder. I'm going to continue to work on my mechanics. My control is better, my mechanics are better, and my velocity is coming.

If I realize that actually there's quantum mechanics happening around us all the time in some macroscopic, interconnected way, then that doesn't change my perception of it, that doesn't change my interaction with it; it just changes how I view my interaction.

I found cinematic equivalents to Austen's prose, ... Her observations of human emotion suggest to me close-ups, not sweeping panoramas. She writes details about the mechanics of social interaction, so that's why there are so many close-ups.

I fought my mechanics a lot the last two seasons and that's primarily what held me back last year when I'd have some good months and some not-so-good months. Now I'm not thinking about mechanics. I'm thinking about the right things and doing the right things.

He has a degree in psychology, so he's very cerebral about pitching and mechanics and things like that. He would make me think more than I usually did, which is sometimes bad for me.

He had a tough time today, but that happens. You have to keep in mind that he's only 22 years old. He isn't going to be great every time out. I thought his mechanics were off a little bit.

He has great mechanics as far as his hand work and getting the ball off, and he just has really dedicated himself. Everything I ask him to do, he does 110 percent. And he's not gun-shy. He believes it's the right thing to do and he goes out and does it. The last 3-4 practices, he has really been hitting the ball well.

He has to calm his mechanics down. When he does, he's pretty darn good. Maybe if we can play enough games, the league will beat it out of him to the point where, out of necessity, he slows down a little bit in some of the key fundamentals.

He is a guy that I've known for a long time. He's very knowledgeable guy and he's a play ahead all of the time. He understands mechanics probably as well as anybody coaching quarterbacks today.

He looks like a hitter. He's pretty impressive. His mechanics look really sound to me.

He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.

Hemingway's minimalism is based on the psychological mechanics of repression. An echo of his approach can be detected in a favorite trope of 1980s minimalists: a pattern of reference to dire secrets and hidden wounds these authors didn't realize they were supposed to have imagined.

To continue this pace ... well, that's going to be hard to do. But he's got the mechanics to be a good hitter and things are going well for him.

He's a little bit behind some of the other people, but the quality of his pitches are there. Now, it's about mechanics and not rushing.

He's doing a nice job. This year, coming into camp, we finally started to talk to him about his mechanics and what our plans are for him this spring. Last year, we let him come in and get used to the program. Now, we're taking it to step two and really getting focused on making some adjustments to prepare him for the season.

His mechanics in his golf swing are breaking down dramatically. If he plays a golf course that is demanding off the tee, he has a real hard time.

He's going to be a little wild anyway, because he had such movement on his fastball, but today his mechanics were off, so it was really flying.

He's given them a boost as far as mechanics go. Plus, they see a guy like Dale, who played professionally, and they know he knows what he's talking about.

'Guild Wars 2' is a wider world in that we have a lot of different mechanics available for storytelling. We have our personal story, the story of you, which is tailored for your character. You answer some basic questions; you make some decisions early on, and that follows through.

You have to finesse the routine and make it more and more specific. They learn it in sections, and it takes months and months. They're going so fast and skating with a partner. Getting the mechanics down takes a long time.

This was a good, fighting win and I want to dedicate it to the mechanics and the team, for some fantastic pit stops and the right strategy.

I was a lot happier walking off the mound today than I have been in a lot of previous outings, ... It's been a constant battle to work on mechanics and different things. I liked how I threw the ball today. I'm not where I want to be, but it was much better than it has been.

I think it comes down to the mechanics of how folks were counted.

I think it's because my mechanics are so much better. My arm and hand are in a position where I couldn't get them consistently before. I still break down. ... But more times than not, it's right where it needs to be and the hitter isn't recognizing it yet. It's going to be a weapon.

It certainly helps with equipment. For the average player, it makes it easier to play. But, from an optimum standpoint, you need to learn to hit the ball solid, and people don't because they don't have the mechanics necessary to do so.

I think you've seen a different pitcher compared to earlier in the year. It's very evident that my mechanics are there, my velocity is there and everything is there that wasn't there on a consistent basis.

I think that what's happened this week is not as significant as the basic mechanics of the market, which are working in your favor, so let them do it.

I was looking at his motion and his balance, if it was a consistent motion and if he repeated it. And on all those counts, I felt pretty good about it. I thought the mechanics were decent.

Our team's engineers, mechanics and assemblers deserve high praise for the precise way in which this airplane came together with very few issues. The fact that this level of quality was achieved on our first aircraft, at the beginning of our learning curve, signals good things for the reliability and affordability of the thousands of F-35s that will follow.

My philosophy is that really good pitchers know their mechanics and are able to self-correct when the game is on the line. A pitching coach can't go out there every time there's a tough situation.

My mechanics were good. I had command of my fastball ... I was changing speeds.

My mechanics felt strong, the ball was jumping off the bat. That was encouraging. ... I didn't feel any pain.

My mechanics are so screwed up, there's nothing you can really tell me except stay back. Reggie was on me to stay aggressive, stay positive. This is a humbling game and like he said, if it was easy, he'd still be playing. That's good to hear from a Hall of Fame hitter.

Looked like he was swinging and not driving the ball to the plate. Everything was high the first couple innings, but when he found out what it was, the third inning was more like him. The ball was down all the time. Some days you get those days where it seems like the mechanics might be off just a little, but he came back and did what he was supposed to do.

Marvel is the reason why I'm still playing football. Bottom line. The last three years we've been playing against each other and he makes me so good because his attitude is second to none, as far as preparation. There's nobody on the team that works harder than Marvel Smith. There isn't. You go in the weight room every day after practice and he's in there. He's getting better. His mechanics are superb, man. He stays square; his hands are great; his feet are good. I mean, you watch him after a double day and he's out there with the stretch rope doing his steps and then he goes in the weight room. He won't let anyone outwork him or outplay him. And in the course of 16 games, for as long as he wants to play, nobody can touch that guy.

I was trying to get my mechanics straightened out and I think it paid off. I felt normal for the first season, even in Spring Training. Seeing it is not enough, I need to feel it and tonight I could feel I was in the right groove.

I was trying to find some rhythm after my last start, throwing my last two innings with just my arm, ... This time around I was trying to get the mechanics down and get good pitches, and I wasn't able to do it.

I was happy with Padilla. He got through two innings, no problem. He threw strikes for the most part. His mechanics were a little off, but he still got through it. It is the first time out for these guys.

I think our arm strength is about the same. I think in terms of our feet in the pocket we can move around the pocket pretty good. I think Mike's mechanics are really good as a young guy. He's got a lot of potential here. He's very smart, he's very coachable and he works hard. We're similar in a lot of ways.

I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.

My childhood dream was to study mechanical engineering. After reading 'The Mysterious Island' - which I read 25 times as a boy - I thought that was the best thing a person could do. The engineer in the book knows mechanics and physics, and he creates a whole way of life on the island out of nothing. I wanted to be like that.

We invest in different training tools to follow the mechanics for field positioning. We also have chapter meetings every Thursday night where we bring up stuff, and on a rare occasion a coach will bring film and sometimes request a review.

We encountered some difficulties, but nothing that was insurmountable. The mechanics did a great job preparing for things that might come up during the race. I think it's going to be a very tough challenger. I think we've learned that we're not where we need to be. There are so many situations you encounter in a race that you just don't get in testing.

We had an erector set, and I was an avid fan of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines.

When I first started throwing, I was really screwed up, mechanically, ... Trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot, basically everything felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. Toward the end, I thought my mechanics were the best they'd been in a while.

The presence of this facility in Barbados is a major breakthrough for the Caribbean and Barbados in particular, as it not only means better service to BMW owners, but will also mean foreign exchange for this island as all the region's mechanics will be trained in Barbados.

The problems are the mechanics and control. I have to keep working to get better for next time. I want to finish with a couple of good games and try to get better and be ready for next Spring Training.

The pilots are the last major labor group to reach a preliminary agreement (except for striking mechanics who have been replaced) and the largest source of labor savings being sought by the airline.
