arteries artificial fire industry people reality resistant shifted strong suits
People think that the industry is dying, but in reality it is as strong as ever; it has just shifted in a new direction. Most people think of textiles as clothes, and that is all they know, but it is everything from artificial arteries to chemically resistant suits for fire fighters.
real greek literature
Greek mathematics is the real thing. The Greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand... So Greek mathematics is 'permanent', more permanent even than Greek literature.
real numbers achievement
I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among "real" mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity and quantum mechanics, and these subjects are at present at any rate, almost as "useless" as the theory of numbers.
reality thinking mind
317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but because it is so, because mathematical reality is built that way.
real silly exercise
If a man is in any sense a real mathematician, then it is a hundred to one that his mathematics will be far better than anything else he can do, and that it would be silly if he surrendered any decent opportunity of exercising his one talent in order to do undistinguished work in other fields. Such a sacrifice could be justified only by economic necessity of age.
science reality common-sense
The mathematician is in much more direct contact with reality. ... [Whereas] the physicist's reality, whatever it may be, has few or none of the attributes which common sense ascribes instinctively to reality. A chair may be a collection of whirling electrons.
art real justified
Real mathematics must be justified as art if it can be justified at all.

In my first year, we were 3-16, but we went 8-12 this season, so we won nearly three times as many games in a very tough basketball region.
eve people square wet
In a way, it's like New Year's Eve in Times Square after 9/11. People want something that says, 'We're back.' We need something other than Sheetrock and wet carpets.
basketball coaching commitment dad hard home household importance nights school sports three time
I know the importance of having a dad in the household and with basketball nights two nights a week, that made it tough. It's hard to be home at night when you're coaching three different sports during the school year. There's a lot of time and commitment in coaching three sports.

I knew they were going in. I'd dreamed of that moment all my life.

It's simply naive and sophomoric to think that Senator Thomas' efforts are somehow late.

It's showing the world that we're alive and almost well.

Everyone seeing that deal understood that an outfit like Lee wouldn't put that kind of money into a company like this without taking it apart and putting it back together again.
