  • The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times. -- Johannes Kepler
  • Happiness is not a state of being. Happiness is a vector, it is movement. -- Neal Shusterman
  • Keith Knight is mapping out a previously unknown vector of the vast cartoon universe. -- Garry Trudeau
  • Words have a universe of qualities other than those of descriptive relation: Hardness, Density, Sound-Shape, Vector-Force, & Degrees of Transparency/Opacity. -- Clark Coolidge
  • The assumption that the square of a unit vector is positive unity leads to an algebra whose characteristic quantities are non-associative. -- Cargill Gilston Knott
  • What if angry vectors veer Round your sleeping head, and form. There's never need to fear Violence of the poor world's abstract storm. -- Robert Penn Warren
  • Come, every frustum longs to be a cone, And every vector dreams of matrices. Hark to the gentle gradient of the breeze: It whispers of a more ergodic zone. -- Stanislaw Lem
  • Symmetrical equations are good in their place, but ' vector ' is a useless survival, or offshoot from quaternions, and has never been of the slightest use to any creature. -- Lord Kelvin
  • The vector equilibrium is the zero point for happenings or nonhappenings: it is the empty theater and empty circus and empty universe ready to accommodate any act and any audience. -- R. Buckminster Fuller
  • Writing has power, but its power has no vector. Writers can stir the mind, but they can't direct it. Time changes things, God changes things, the dictators change things, but writers can't change anything. -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
  • The physicist who states a law of nature with the aid of a mathematical formula is abstracting a real feature of a real material world, even if he has to speak of numbers, vectors, tensors, state-functions, or whatever to make the abstraction. -- Hilary Putnam
  • Isn't it time that these most ancient sorrows of ours grew fruitful? Time that we tenderly loosed ourselves from the loved one, and, unsteadily, survived: the way the arrow, suddenly all vector, survives the string to be more than itself. For abiding is nowhere. -- Rainer Maria Rilke
  • The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and god: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness. -- R. Buckminster Fuller
  • I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time. -- Nolan Bushnell
  • Most new movements start this way: hundreds or thousands of individuals and groups, working in different fields and different locations, start thinking about change using a common language, without necessarily recognizing those shared values. You just start following your own vector, propelled along by people in your immediate vicinity. And then one day, you look up and realize that all those individual trajectories have turned into a wave. -- Steven Johnson
  • Truly, more than removing the partition between vectors and values, we would have needed to talk about strengthening crisscrossed lacings: an intertwined kind of understanding that would de-ideologize 'ideologies,' desanctify sanctities, but also mentalize the material bases of systems of inscription, and psychoanalyze not souls but tools. That is, in one and the same gesture, make our mnemo-technic equipment intelligible as mentality and our mental equipment intelligible as technology. -- Regis Debray
  • Inevitably, malaria parasites developed resistance to commonly used drugs, and mosquito vectors became insecticide-resistant. -- Anthony Fauci
  • Real change occurs from the bottom up; it occurs person to person, and it almost always occurs in small groups and locales and then bubbles up and aggregates to larger vectors of change. -- Paul Hawken
