The most important thing is the indigenous people are not vindictive by nature. We are not here to oppress anybody - but to join together and build Bolivia, with justice and equality.
— Evo Morales
Technology changes all the time; human nature, hardly ever.
— Evgeny Morozov
Many have argued that a vacuum does not exist, others claim it exists only with difficulty in spite of the repugnance of nature; I know of no one who claims it easily exists without any resistance from nature.
— Evangelista Torricelli
The problem is that in order to publish a book in mainland China, you have to agree to be subject to censorship. That's the nature of the system. I don't challenge that system on its face. It's their system. But as an author, I have a choice to make whether I'll participate or I won't.
— Evan Osnos
It takes so long to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
— Eugene Wigner
St. Pope John XXIII called for the Second Vatican Council because he understood, as no Holy Father had in a long time, religion spoke to and found its language and symbols - its entire sense of the sacramental nature of existence - in the imagination that reveals not just the penalties of living, but the wonder and awe of our existence.
— Eugene Kennedy
I think having nature be a part of people's lives helps all of us see ourselves as part of something larger.
— Ethan Hawke
Places are part of nature, of the bigger picture. We are interrelated. When we contemplate them in their own right, they can sometimes change our lives; they can become spiritual experiences.
— Etel Adnan
I am insubordinate by nature. I can't help it.
— Esperanza Spalding
We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man.
— Ernest Shackleton
I think any time you have a workplace that's heavily weighted to men just by the nature of what it is, the same way you can say PR or fashion is heavily occupied by women, there's always going to be a little bit of that sexism.
— Erin Duffy
People don't realize it's not just about being funny, and they don't know how perceptive a comedian needs to be about human nature. You have to really be able to read a situation and peoples' emotions.
— Erik Griffin
I'm a self-confessed geek, and my whole concept of music at first was entirely electronic. In many ways, it turned out to be an advantage. I was so green, so utterly naive about the nature of classical music, that I did things that made me look totally, deliberately unorthodox.
— Eric Whitacre
Quite simply, our isolation from nature has become isolation from God's Word. Cocooned in our manmade world of climate-controlled homes, cars, subways, and high-rises, we're finding it easier to live as practical atheists.
— Eric Metaxas
I was interested in the nature of human mental processes, which is what got me interested in psychoanalysis. And it became clear to me after a while that mental processes come from the brain, and in order to understand them, you need to be a biologist of the brain.
— Eric Kandel
Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature.
— Eric Hoffer
By nature, I'm very care-taking. There's something really beautiful about cooking for someone and feeding them.
— Eric Balfour
The decentralized nature of online conversations often makes it easier to manipulate public opinion, both domestically and globally. Regimes that once relied on centralized systems of media control can now deliver ideological messages more subtly, with the help of little-known intermediaries like anonymous commenters on websites.
The idea that the Internet favors the oppressed rather than the oppressor is marred by what I call cyber-utopianism: a naive belief in the emancipatory nature of online communication that rests on a stubborn refusal to admit its downside.
If you can't sit in a cafe quietly and be ignored, how can you observe human nature and write a story?
— Evangeline Lilly
There is the sky, which is all men's together.
— Euripides
Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.
Nature is a dictionary; one draws words from it.
— Eugene Delacroix
While we are under the tyranny of Priests, it will ever be their interest, to invalidate the law of nature and reason, in order to establish systems incompatible therewith.
— Ethan Allen
We feel we have to put concrete on every inch of land. It disturbs the ecology, and it takes away the experience of a child going out into the woods and seeing all of nature.
— Esther Rolle
You do what you like because you just follow your curiosity, and you are happy when you find new things about nature, about how things work around us and inside us.
— Erwin Neher
Communism is in conflict with human nature.
— Ernest Renan
You cannot put a contaminant in the ground and just think that Mother Nature whips it up and runs it off somewhere else and we never see it again.
— Erin Brockovich
The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature, but result from the social process which creates man.
— Erich Fromm
I think violence, cynicism, brutality and fashion are the staples of our diet. I think in the grand history of story-telling, going back to people sitting around fires, the dark side of human nature has always been very important. Movies are part of that tradition.
— Eric Stoltz
Since Socrates and Plato first speculated on the nature of the human mind, serious thinkers through the ages - from Aristotle to Descartes, from Aeschylus to Strindberg and Ingmar Bergman - have thought it wise to understand oneself and one's behavior.
The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets.
There's a roots nature to Appalachia - the origins of folk and bluegrass. I know guys there who are some of the best players I've ever heard but are playing on their porch tonight because they've never chased success. There's simplicity to how they live and what they care about.
— Eric Church
It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.
— Epictetus
Free open-source software, by its nature, is unlikely to feature secret back doors that lead directly to Langley, Va.
You can't forbid children to do things that are available to them at every turn. God told Eve, 'Don't give the apple to Adam,' and look what happened. It's in our nature to want the things we see.
— Evel Knievel
My favorite parts about 'The Battle of Five Armies' were the moments where you could clearly see that we were looking at New Zealand. That it wasn't done in post, it wasn't CGI, it was the beautiful, incredible creation of Mother Nature in all of her splendor.
Sharks are among the most perfectly constructed creatures in nature. Some forms have survived for two hundred million years.
— Eugenie Clark
I always looked at myself as a physicist learning new tricks by looking at nature.
— Eugene Parker
The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.
— Euclid
They should hold themselves absolutely upon the immovable foundation of truth and nature, whereby alone they can save themselves from misapprehensions and from the danger of being entirely carried away from reality into mere dreams and fictions.
— Ethan A. Hitchcock
We all have a loyalty to our country, we want to serve our country. It's in our nature.
— Essam El Hadary
The main cause is a pernicious falsehood propagated against her being, namely that she is inferior by her nature. Inferior in what? What has man ever done that woman, under the same advantages could not do?
— Ernestine Rose
I don't see me doing $100 million films because $100 million films, the very nature of them, you need to offend as few people as possible just to make your money back.
— Eriq La Salle
But also, it's a wonderful thing for children to see the birthing of puppies, to see nature at its best when it works and to have the experience of the puppies.
— Erika Slezak
The simplest of simplest things makes me happy. I love small gestures and nature in life.
— Erica Fernandes
The nature of human beings is to eat meat and fruits and vegetables, and therefore we have to kill animals. I don't have a problem with that. But it's a sacred moment. It's a gift of life.
— Eric Ripert
A brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but a Kokoschka painting, or a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like. Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together.
Man was nature's mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.
The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.
— Eric Berne
