• Si se considera que E es una cantidad continuamente divisible, esta distribución es posible de infinitas maneras. Consideramos, sin embargo -este es el punto más esencial de todo el cálculo- que E se compone de un número bien definido de partes iguales y utilizamos para ello la constante de la naturaleza h = 6,55 ×10-27 erg seg. Esta constante multiplicada por la frecuencia común ? de los resonadores nos da el elemento de energía E en erg, y dividiendo E por E obtenemos el número P de elementos de energía que deben repartirse entre los N resonadores.

• Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.

• The first half of the 1960s was the apogee of what might be termed the Age of Cool - as defined by that quality of being simultaneously with-it and disengaged, in control but nonchalant, knowing but ironically self-aware, and above all inscrutably undemonstrative.

• It cannot be denied that Islam, regarded as an ethical ideal plus a certain kind of polity - by which expression I mean a social structure regulated by a legal system and animated by a specific ethical ideal - has been the chief formative factor in the life-history of the Muslims of India. It has furnished those basic emotions and loyalties which gradually unify scattered individuals and groups, and finally transform them into a well-defined people, possessing a moral consciousness of their own.

• Tú "tienes una cita", tú "sales con una cita", tú "gimes porque no hay una cita decente en la ciudad". Una situación que se define como que haya una chica -o un chico- del nivel social adecuado, del grado de popularidad adecuado, un poco superior al tuyo.

• If we define a miracle as an effect of which the cause is unknown to us, then we make our ignorance the source of miracles! And the universe itself would be a standing miracle. A miracle might be perhaps defined more exactly as an effect which is not the consequence or effect of any known laws of nature.

• Communication leads to community that is, to understanding, intimacy, and the mutual valuing that was previously lacking. Community can be defined simply as a group in which free conversation can take place. Community is where I can share my innermost thoughts, bring out the depths of my own feelings, and know they will be understood.

• La vida cotidiana es una mezcla comprimida de posturas en aras del juego de roles y de diversos grados de autorrevelación. En condiciones de estrés, ni siquiera el "verdadero" yo puede definirse con precisión, como observa Erving Goffman. No es de extrañar que la crisis de identidad sea una de las principales fuentes del neuroticismo moderno y que la clase media urbana anhele volver a una existencia más sencilla.

• Sugiero que la política exterior de EEUU aún puede definirse como "bésame el culo o te parto la cabeza". Pero por supuesto no lo dice así. Habla de "conflictos de baja intensidad...". Todo esto se suma a una enfermedad en el centro mismo del lenguaje, de modo que éste se convierte en una mascarada permanente, en un tapiz de mentiras.

• A definition is nothing else but an explication of the meaning of a word, by words whose meaning is already known. Hence it is evident that every word cannot be defined; for the definition must consist of words; and there could be no definition, if there were not words previously understood without definition.

• The first attempts to consider the behavior of so-called "random neural nets" in a systematic way have led to a series of problems concerned with relations between the "structure" and the "function" of such nets. The "structure" of a random net is not a clearly defined topological manifold such as could be used to describe a circuit with explicitly given connections. In a random neural net, one does not speak of "this" neuron synapsing on "that" one, but rather in terms of tendencies and probabilities associated with points or regions in the net.

• Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery.
  Equality of rights is a peculiar feature of democracies. These rights are properly divided into civil and political, though even these definitions are not to be taken as absolute, or as literally exact.

• The history of the past fifty years, and longer, indicates that a diversified holding of representative common stocks will prove more profitable over a stretch of years than a bond portfolio, with one important provisio that the shares must be purchased at reasonable market levels, that is, levels that are reasonable in the light of fairly well-defined standards derived from past experience.
