Begin Quotes
Neuroscientists talk a lot about brain circuits. In fact, the word 'circuit' is probably misleading. We do not know where most circuits begin and end. And unlike an electrical circuit, brain connections are heavily reciprocal and recursive, so that a direction of information flow can be inferred but sometimes not proven.

Computer Quotes
I always knew I wanted to be a technologist, so I went to Duke and got a degree in computer science and electrical engineering. Really, I thought my goal in life was to be an inventor, a problem solver, so I thought I needed a Ph.D. to be good at inventions, but it turns out that you don't.

Amazing Quotes
Carbon nanotubes are amazing because they're really good electrical conductors, yet they are only a few atoms in diameter. You can make transistors out of them in the same way you can with silicon. At Berkeley, we made the narrowest device anybody had ever made. It was basically a single molecule.

Believe Quotes
My father was an electrical contractor, while I used to deliver video cassettes on a cycle to people in Juhu and Bandra, including celebrities like Mithun Chakraborty.

Absolutely Quotes
I once did a radio program with a famous materialist, that is to say a scientist who believed that absolutely everything was physical and that all emotions were reductive to little electrical impulses in your neurons. And I found that I didn't believe that. But what the emotions really are, I don't have an alternative theory.

Again Quotes
We started again -- we have an alternate source of power -- but then Duquesne Light flipped the switch for whatever reason a second time, and that blew the first source, and that's what caused the problem. At the same time, probably a surge here caused a little fire in an electrical panel. That's been entirely taken care of.

Dad Quotes
My dad owns a company that lends equipment to industrial projects. I've been obsessed with taking it over since I could talk. I'd follow him and repeat conversations about how many tons of cranes were arriving. He said it was a man's world, so I studied electrical engineering because it was related.

Birmingham Quotes
On paper the Birmingham event was our worst showing of the season. But it showed the true character of the team that we stayed with it and had a good race car for Robert in Round 10. Electrical problems are the most frustrating to deal with because they're so hard to find. It's not like a suspension problem, that's relatively easy to diagnose.

Belief Quotes
HAG, n. An elderly lady whom you do not happen to like; sometimes called, also, a hen, or cat. Old witches, sorceresses, etc., were called hags from the belief that their heads were surrounded by a kind of baleful lumination or nimbus --hag being the popular name of that peculiar electrical light sometimes observed in the hair. At one time hag was not a word of reproach: Drayton speaks of a ""beautiful hag, all smiles,"" much as Shakespeare said, ""sweet wench."" It would not now be proper to call your sweetheart a hag --that compliment is reserved for the use of her grandchildren.

Aids Quotes
My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13.

He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.

Chew Quotes
I would never recommend leaving them unattended. They do tend to dig into your carpet. Electrical cords -- if you're not watching, look out. Your expensive stereo could be toast.

Counties Quotes
Wind systems are so new we don't have anything in our zoning ordinance that addresses this type of electrical generation. There are counties in Illinois that have wind energy systems. Those are Bureau, Henry, Lee, McLean, and Mercer. McLean County, I believe, is going to be producing the largest wind energy system in the state, if not the Midwest. I think that's somewhere around a $300 million project.

Air Quotes
Yeah, that was not too bad for a car that was just a little off, ... We had a setback in the practice session the other day and that got us off a little bit. But the guys rebounded really well. We lost an alternator belt early and that made us have to turn all the electrical switches off -- all the brake fans and the rear end fans and the fans that blow cool air on the tires to keep the tires cool. It hurt us because it lets it build air pressure a little quicker.

Bringing Quotes
We've got to do something. Fowler Park has the Pioneer Village and camping on the lake, which was its drawing card. Now it's not. If you watch most campers today, they have modern, up-to-date equipment. It's not bringing a tent and roughing it. Prairie Creek with electrical hookups has no primitive sites, like Fowler or Hawthorn.
