Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.

One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.

There's a theory that says that life is based on a competition and the struggle and the fight for survival, and it's interesting because when you look at the fractal character of evolution, it's totally different. It's based on cooperation among the elements in the geometry and not competition.

Relying on the face might be human nature - even babies prefer to look at attractive people. But, of course, judging someone based on the geometry of his features is, from a moral and legal standpoint, no better than judging him based on the color of his skin.

Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea.

Geometry is the most complete science.

What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.

Metrical geometry is thus a part of descriptive geometry, and descriptive geometry is all geometry.

Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience.

Projective geometry is all geometry.

Yesterday's rally was based on a number of factors. There was some financial geometry in there as well. It was an options expiry day on the New York Mercantile with a rising market. That gave it a little more oomph than it needed. Now that oil's flowing, prices are coming back in line.

How many theorems in geometry which have seemed at first impracticable are in time successfully worked out!

An American is a complex of occasions, themselves a geometry of spatial nature.

Now tequila may be the favoured beverage of outlaws but that doesn't mean it gives them preferential treatment. In fact, tequila probably has betrayed as many outlaws as has the central nervous system and dissatisfied wives. Tequila, scorpion honey, harsh dew of the doglands, essence of Aztec, crema de cacti; tequila, oily and thermal like the sun in solution; tequila, liquid geometry of passion; Tequila, the buzzard god who copulates in midair with the ascending souls of dying virgins; tequila, firebug in the house of good taste; O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate!

Most of them just don't want to take math and geometry and the other courses to get a degree. They want to learn to build boots and saddles and go home.

We're not sure of the amount of sand resources off our coast (that can be exploited), ... and that's a critical issue. This isn't just a beach-replenishment project. This would be a complete restoration of these barrier islands, a matter of substantially increasing their three-dimensional geometry so they can really do something to retard surge and erosion.

The detailed geometry of the coenzyme molecule as a whole is fascinating in its complexity.

Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones -- maybe only the stones -- understood.

It's as complex a Web site as you'll find. I'm not aware of another site that builds the virtual geometry of a home.

If you're sitting across the table from someone, the geometry of the situation says 'confrontation.' If you're walking with somebody, you're heading in the same direction, and the spatial dance you're doing is a little more cooperative.

Give him threepence, since he must make a gain out of what he learns.

Sire, there is no royal road to geometry.
