10 QUOTES WITH «IN ISOLATION»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word in isolation.
1
Christopher Alexander
This is a fundamental view of the world. It says that when you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must repair the world around it, and within it, so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent, and more whole; and the thing which you make takes its place in the web of nature, as you make it.
2
A. R. Ammons
There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.
3
Claire Cameron
I would get a lot of writing done if I lived in isolation in a cave under a swamp.
4
John Bates Clark
If a man were living in isolation his income would be literally his product. Make him the monarch and owner of an island, and the fruits that he raises and the clothing that he makes constitute, in themselves, his income. This ceases to be true when trading begins.
5
Carl von Clausewitz
The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes.
6
Bob Diamond
My obligation is to the owners of Barclays, my shareholders. They hired me. People who criticise compensation for individuals in isolation at, say, BarCap, individuals who don't work in the U.K. and are competing with U.S., German or Asian banks, they should look at all these factors.
7
Evelyn Glennie
I hope the seeds I have sown will be taken up by those who will follow me because the journey I have begun cannot be undertaken in isolation.
8
Larry Harvey
I grew up on a farm in Oregon, an adopted child, with one sibling, and parents the age of all my peers' grandparents. We lived in isolation from the people around us, and it was always a struggle to cope with as a child. The heart can really expire under those conditions. I always felt like I was looking at the world from the outside.
9
Daisaku Ikeda
No one can live entirely on their own, nor can any country or society exist in isolation.
10
Li Keqiang
We live in a global village. No country can live in isolation of others like Robinson Crusoe.
