I think literary theory has not been terribly good for English studies in a while. It's not that theory isn't interesting, but it isn't about books, or the idiosyncrasies and complexities of putting language together.
A. S. Byatt
As we get more transparent with data sets about infrastructure and systems management, I have a feeling we'll see big changes in how we think about complexity and our relationship to our actions.
Aaron Koblin
From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.
Abdus Salam
Movies can provide tear-inducing or comically-entertaining representations of love, but many agree that its deeper conflicting complexities often seem unfathomable.
Aberjhani
Gulaal' gave me a chance to channelise my restlessness into a character that had layers of complexity.
Abhimanyu Singh
Events keep happening that seem inexplicable and out of control. Donald Trump, Brexit, the War in Syria, the endless migrant crisis, random bomb attacks.
Adam Curtis
I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.
Adele
I think network TV to a large extent has underestimated the intelligence of the American public for so many years now. It's tried to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I think the average viewer is much more intelligent than that and crave a little more complexity and are willing to pay more attention.
Adrian Pasdar
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
Aesop
Why do investors seem to care about 'billion dollar exits?' Historically, top venture funds have driven returns from their ownership in just a few companies in a given fund of many companies.
Aileen Lee
Brexit is not ideal. I'm famously not a Brexit negotiator, but relations between Ireland and the U.K. have been getting stronger, and a big part of that has been trade and feeling like sister countries within the E.U. I don't think it will affect the 'vibe' of relations, but it will have a significant effect on trade and business.
Aisling Bea
When we exited the textiles business, we paid our bankers and labourers. We must have been the only company to do that.
Ajay Piramal
One of the strengths of the U.K. is its ability to attract very highly talented people from all over the places, but also their ability to send English people outside. So they're very brain circulation-oriented, and I do hope, even with Brexit, they will keep this asset they have.
Alain Dehaze
We don't see any material impact of Brexit, either in the U.K. or in the neighbouring countries and the U.K.'s trading partners.
Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it.
Alan Perlis
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.
Politicians must be simple and clear about how their ideas will serve the national cause. We can no longer use the complexity of today's problems as an excuse for inaction, rhyme or rhetoric that does not meet the challenges before us.
Alan Siegel
Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms and complexity of processes that rival anything we've seen in the solar system.
Alan Stern
I do think that the emotional weight of 'Biutiful' has blinded some viewers to the beauty and complexity of the film.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
The demographic complexity of this country should be reflected not only at the end of the chain, but since the beginning, in order that more of these people can be excited and integrated.
We have perfected the art of finding problems without fixing real-world issues. We focus too much on complexity, not harm.
We didn't do Brexit. We didn't get money for it. We didn't do work for it. We didn't sign a contract.
We were looking at different opportunities to get involved in working with Brexit but we made the decision to not work with any party - for or against - or even for any related campaigns.
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
Working on 'Mad Men' was an incredible experience. It was such an incredible show with beautiful writing and so much complexity.
The men in those old days of the seventeenth century, when in constant dread of attacks by Indians, always rose when the services were ended and left the house before the women and children, thus making sure the safe exit of the latter.
The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.
The Black Lives Matter movement has to, by its very nature, be intersectional because of the complexities of who black people are in this country and throughout the world.
I suppose, the natural outgrowth about writing about two friends, it becomes about their friendship, and the complexities of it, and the way personality plays off each other, and what they each like to do, separately and together.
If we could support school curricula about social class, we might discuss the full complexity of 'wealth' within the parameters of our children's educational lives. Out of these lesson plans, we might talk more about what society values - and whether it rewards the right things.
I want to exit from this sport with my head intact.
Labour are a danger to our security and our economy and are wholly incapable of negotiating the best Brexit deal for Britain.
You might want a certain type of Brexit deal, but you can't get it if the numbers aren't there.
When we talk about famine, people start listing, as I have, its many different elements. We must not let the complexity of the subject put us off. We must continue putting our efforts into prevention.
I think people will always do have an interest in policy areas, but Brexit is certainly got people talking and thinking and, so, probably more engaged than they would otherwise be.
What I'm suggesting is making an offer to the E.U. for things that were already agreed in the withdrawal agreement that will enable us to leave with a managed exit.
I am a passionate, pragmatic, and positive believer in Brexit, and with my three-step plan, we can decisively leave the E.U.
If I was prime minister, there would be absolutely zero risk that Brexit wouldn't happen.
Theresa May... is ideally placed to implement Brexit on the best possible terms for the British people, and she has promised she will do so.
Neither we nor our European friends need prolonged uncertainty, and not everything needs to be negotiated before Article 50 is triggered and the exit process is concluded.
I think, as ever, with a big change like Brexit, it's awakened people's interest in politics.
We should not make the mistake of equating the E.U. with Europe. Outside the E.U., we wouldn't cease to be Europeans. But, an exit would definitely risk losing those opportunities for our children while growing no similar opportunities elsewhere.
A single neuron in the brain is an incredibly complex machine that even today we don't understand. A single 'neuron' in a neural network is an incredibly simple mathematical function that captures a minuscule fraction of the complexity of a biological neuron.
I really don't have much respect for the people who live their lives motivated by an exit strategy existing, being performed. There was no option that we were trained in that says, 'If it gets too hard, get up and leave.'
You cannot communicate complicated information to large groups of people. As you increase the number of people, you have to decrease the complexity of the information.
Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision.
I don't think Brexit is going to help people in Britain.
We did it! Britain is no longer a member of the European Union. By 'we' I mean the 17.4 million Britons who voted Leave, Nigel Farage who fought for the cause for 25 years, Brexit Party MEPs, Tory Party members who were brave enough to desert their party in droves at the Euro-elections and, of course, the Daily Express.
I suspect my own journey to Brexit has closely followed that of Britain's. I had doubts, then I decided we should stay in, then I had very serious doubts as our island began to sink under a tide of regulations and our government lost control of the immigration system.
If we have Brexit, we don't know what we will get.
