-
“A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who has never owned a car.” ~ Carrie Snow
- “It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.” ~ Charles Horton Cooley
- “The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer…form the great body of the people of the United States they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.” ~ Andrew Jackson

- “If the clockwork universe equated the human body with the mechanics of the clock, the digital universe now equates human consciousness with the processing of the computer. We joke that things don’t compute, that we need a reboot, or that our memory has been wiped.” ~ Douglas Rushkoff
-
“The mechanics of putting one spot of color next to another, that is the fundamental thing.” ~ Charles Webster Hawthorne
- “At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the commission. But if the mechanics don’t service that car well, the customer won’t return.” ~ Roger Staubach
- “The science behind Interstellar is interesting, because some of it is absolutely real astrophysics and orbital mechanics, some of it is theoretical physics, and some of it is completely Hollywood. When a science fiction movie is based on plausible science, it’s really good.” ~ Julie Payette, Mechanic quotes science
- “Bell’s theorem…proves that quantum theory requires connections that appear to resemble telepathic communication.” ~ Gary Zukav
-
“Writing, madam, is a mechanic part of wit. A gentleman should never go beyond a song or a billet.” ~ George Etherege
- “Thoughts are no more than electrical surges in the brain. Sexual arousal is no more than a flow of chemicals to certain nerve endings. Sadness is no more than a bit of acid transfixed in the cerebellum. In short, the body is a machine, subject to the same laws of electricity and mechanics as an electron or clock.” ~ Alan Lightman
- “What sort of personality does one need to have, as a twenty-first-century mechanic, to tolerate the layers of electronic bullshit that get piled on top of machines?” ~ Matthew Crawford
- “[In eighteenth-century Britain] engineers for the most began as simple workmen, skillful and ambitious but usually illiterate and self-taught. They were either millwrights like Bramah, mechanics like Murdoch and George Stephenson, or smiths like Newcomen and Maudslay.” ~ John Desmond Bernal
-
“If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something.” ~ Lawrence M. Krauss
- “Law, in its most general and comprehensive sense, signifies a rule of action; and is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of action, whether animate or inanimate, rational or irrational. Thus we say, the laws of motion, of gravitation, of optics, or mechanics, as well as the laws of nature and of nations. And it is that rule of action, which is prescribed by some superior, and which the inferior is bound to obey.” ~ William Blackstone
- “In general, I don’t like game mechanics, I mean it’s the idea you do the same things through different levels. I think, in my mind, it’s an ideas I don’t really like because I love to do different things and like to see the story moving on and I like to do different things and different scenes, not do the same thing over and over again. If it involves violence at some point fine, if it makes sense in the context. But violence for the sake of violence, it doesn’t mean anything to me anymore.” ~ David Cage
- “In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time.” ~ Richard K. Morgan
-
“I’ve always regretted the fact that I’ve never formally studied and learned the mechanics of writing music.” ~ Stan Getz

- “All this, the positive and physical essence of mechanics, which makes its chief and highest interest for a student of nature, is in existing treatises completely buried and concealed beneath a mass of technical considerations.” ~ Ernst Mach, Positive mechanic quotes
- “It seems to me that our problem has a lot less to do with the mechanics of solar power than the politics of human power—specifically whether there can be a shift in who wields it, a shift away from corporations and toward communities, which in turn depends on whether or not the great many people who are getting a rotten deal under our current system can build a determined and diverse enough social force to change the balance of power.” ~ Naomi Klein
-
“Practice the mechanics of making photographs until it becomes second nature.” ~ Fred Picker
- “I’ll do something, get into some kind of work where talk don’t count. Maybe I’ll just be a mechanic in a shop. I don’t know. I guess I don’t care much. I just want to work and keep quiet. That’s all I’ve got in mind.” ~ Sherwood Anderson
- “…the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches…Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.” ~ Albert Einstein
- “…contemporary physicists come in two varieties. Type 1 physicists are bothered by EPR and Bell’s Theorem. Type 2 (the majority) are not, but one has to distinguish two subvarieties. Type 2a physicists explain why they are not bothered. Their explanations tend either to miss the point entirely (like Born’s to Einstein) or to contain physical assertions that can be shown to be false. Type 2b are not bothered and refuse to explain why.” ~ David Mermin
-
“The true secret to genius is in creativity, not in technical mechanics.” ~ Al Seckel
- “It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating.” ~ Stephen Bayley

- “The chilly December day! two shivering bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio first felt their homemade contraption whittled out of hickory sticks, gummed together with Arnstein’s bicycle cement, stretched with muslin they’d sewn on their sister’s sewing machine in their own backyard on Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio, soar into the air above the dunes and the wide beach at Kitty Hawk.” ~ John Dos Passos
-
“The physics of the 21st century shall deal essentially with non-spatial matter and non-spatial mechanics.” ~ Kedar Joshi
- “I mean, if you love what you do whether you’re an auto mechanic or you sew clothes or you cook-it’s all about personal passion and love that really makes the thrust to the level that you want to get it to.” ~ Emeril Lagasse
- “But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. And when they clash, then we know that there is a reality; something that can inform us that our ideas are mistaken.” ~ Karl Popper
- “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.” ~ Richard P. Feynman
- “I thought I would be a go-kart mechanic – not an F1 driver” ~ Fernando Alonso
