10 QUOTES WITH «RIGIDLY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word rigidly.
1
Martha Beck
My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
2
Alan Bennett
I'm all in favour of free expression provided it's kept rigidly under control.
3
Dan Brown
Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious - that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment.
4
Agatha Christie
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
5
John Clute
Novels written by university professors and set in the groves of academe are far more rigidly predictable than anything but the most routine science fiction novel, but they have escaped the stigma of being labeled as genre.
6
Anita Desai
My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.
7
Gerald Edelman
Science is imagination in the service of the verifiable truth, and that service is indeed communal. It cannot be rigidly planned. Rather, it requires freedom and courage and the plural contributions of many different kinds of people who must maintain their individuality while giving to the group.
8
Thomas Huxley
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
9
Henry Knox
Men at a distance, who have admired our systems of government unfounded in nature, are apt to accuse the rulers, and say that taxes have been assessed too high and collected too rigidly.
10
David Lange
You have to talk about why things happened the way they did. You can't actually explain my political life except by a series of situations rather than by some carefully constructed, rigidly progressed ascendancy.
