Knowledge Quotes

जिस बात ने मेरी सबसे ज़्यादा मदद की है, वह है खुद को ऐसे लोगों के एक मजबूत समुदाय से घेरना जिनकी रुचियाँ एक जैसी हों और जिनके पास प्रासंगिक ज्ञान हो—अन्य निर्देशक, कलाकार, क्रू के सदस्य, और दूसरे क्षेत्रों के समझदार व मजाकिया लोग।

The thing that has helped me the most has been surrounding myself with a strong community of people with common interests and relevant knowledge - other directors, artists, crew talent, and smart and fun people in other fields.

सत्ता ही अनुभव है, होना ही perceived होना है, भले ही अच्छे पुराने बर्कले ने ऐसा कहा हो; लेकिन अधिकांश दार्शनिकों के अनुसार, वे गलत थे। फिर भी, स्पष्ट रूप से, ऐसी चीजें हैं जिनके लिए यह कहावत सच बैठती है। शुरुआत करने के लिए, संवेदनशीलता तो एक मामूली बात है। यदि चेतना के तत्वों—दर्द, गुदगुदी, गर्मी और ठंड के अहसास, रंगों की संवेदी अनुभूतियाँ, ध्वनियाँ, और इसी तरह की अन्य चीज़ें—का कोई अस्तित्व है, तो वह किसी विषय द्वारा अनुभव किए जाने में ही होना चाहिए... ज़ाहिर है, यह दर्शाता है कि ऐसे अनुभव, कम से कम भौतिक दुनिया के संबंध में, केवल एक उप-उत्पाद (एपिफेनोमेनल) हैं।

Esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived, said good old Berkeley; but, according to most philosophers, he was wrong. Yet, obviously, there are things for which the adage holds. Perception, trivially, to begin with. If elements of conscious awareness--pains, tickles, feelings of heat and cold, sensory qualia of colors, sounds, and the like--have any existence, it must consist in their being perceived by a subject.... This shows, of course, that such experiences are epiphenomenal, at least with respect to the physical world.

कहा जाता है कि प्रकृति में हमें इस बात का कोई उदाहरण नहीं मिलता कि किसी घटना के होने और उसके अस्तित्व में होने में क्या अंतर है, और दूसरी तरफ क्या होना चाहिए।

It has sometimes been said that we find nowhere in nature an analogue of the difference between happens and is, on the one hand, and ought, on the other hand.

उद्धरण प्रेमियों को अनचाही खुशियां मिलती हैं, भुलाए जा चुके लेखकों की शानदार किताबें मिलती हैं, और धूल के नीचे दबे खजाने मिलते हैं।

एक अच्छी परफॉर्मेंस इस बात पर निर्भर करती है कि आप कितना ग्रहण करते हैं, न कि इस बात पर कि आप बाहर क्या परोसते हैं।

Good performance is about what you take in, not what you put out.

सौ साल पहले, लोगों के सामने या तो पढ़ना सीखने का विकल्प था या फिर अनपढ़ मजदूर बनकर रहने का, जो तेजी से आधुनिकीकरण की दुनिया में पिछड़ जाते। आने वाली सदी में, उस दुनिया पर पकड़ बनाना जो पूरी तरह से कंप्यूटरीकृत होगी, उन लोगों को अलग कर देगी जो भविष्य में सफलता से जी सकेंगे और उन लोगों से अलग कर देगी जो पूरी तरह पीछे छूट जाएंगे।

One hundred years ago, people were faced with the choice of learning to read or remaining illiterate laborers who would be left behind as have-nots in a rapidly modernizing world. In the coming century, being able to command a world that will be thoroughly computerized will set apart those who can live successfully in the future from those who will be utterly left behind.

भौतिक पर्यावरण और उसके प्रभाव में रहने वाले जीव के बीच का संबंध, यानी भू-आकृति विज्ञान (फिजियोग्राफ़ी) और जीव-आकृति विज्ञान (ऑन्टोग्राफ़ी) का आपसी रिश्ता ही आज के भूगोल के मूल सिद्धांतों का आधार है।

It is the relationship between the physical environment and the environed organism, between physiography and ontography (to coin a term), that constitutes the essential principles of geography today.

ابراہم لنکن کا ذہن اور اظہار انتہائی واضح تھا، اور انہوں نے اسے مزید نکھارنے کے لیے کام کیا — اپنے اوائلِ تیس کی دہائی میں اپنے ذہن کو تربیت دینے کے لیے انہوں نے یوکلیڈ (Euclid) کا مطالعہ کیا۔

Abraham Lincoln had great clarity of mind and expression, and he worked to make it clearer -reading Euclid in his early 30s to train his mind.

जीवन के रहस्यों को टटोलने के लिए मुझे कोसा गया है। शायद मृत्यु पवित्र है, और मैंने उसे अपवित्र कर दिया है। ओह, यह कितना अद्भुत सपना था। मैंने दुनिया को वह रहस्य देने का सपना देखा था जिसके प्रति भगवान इतने ईर्ष्यालु हैं, यानी जीवन का सूत्र। सोचिए, एक इंसान को पैदा करने की कितनी शक्ति है। और मैंने कर दिखाया, मैंने कर दिखाया, मैंने एक इंसान बना लिया। और कौन जानता है, समय के साथ मैं उसे अपनी इच्छा के अनुसार प्रशिक्षित कर सकता था। मैं एक नई प्रजाति पैदा कर सकता था, शायद मुझे अमरता का रहस्य भी मिल जाता।

I've been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I've profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.

एक एकसमान सांख्यिकीय नामकरण (नामकरण पद्धति) के फायदे, भले ही वह कितनी भी त्रुटिपूर्ण क्यों न हो, इतने स्पष्ट हैं कि यह आश्चर्य की बात है कि मृत्यु पंजीकरण में इसे लागू करने पर बिल्कुल ध्यान नहीं दिया गया है। कई मामलों में प्रत्येक बीमारी को तीन या चार नामों से दर्शाया गया है, और प्रत्येक नाम का प्रयोग कई अलग-अलग बीमारियों के लिए किया गया है; अस्पष्ट, असुविधाजनक नामों का उपयोग किया गया है, या प्राथमिक बीमारियों के बजाय जटिलताओं को दर्ज किया गया है। अनुसंधान के इस क्षेत्र में नामकरण उतना ही महत्वपूर्ण है जितना कि भौतिक विज्ञान में तौल और माप, और इसे बिना किसी देरी के तय किया जाना चाहिए।

The advantages of a uniform statistical nomenclature, however im- perfect, are so obvious, that it is surprising no attention has been paid to its enforcement in bills of mortality. Each disease has in many instances been denoted by three or four terms, and each term has been applied to as many different diseases ; vague, inconvenient names have been employed, or complications have been registered, instead of primary diseases. The nomenclature is of as much importance in this depart- ment of inquiry as weights and measures in the physical sciences, and should be settled without delay.

बहुत से लोग मेरा संगीत पसंद करते हैं। बहुत से लोग इसे समझ नहीं पाते। आम तौर पर मेरा संगीत माली के कम उम्र के लोगों और अफ्रीका के बाहर के लोगों द्वारा ज़्यादा आसानी से समझा जाता है।

Many people love my music. Many do not understand it. In general my music is more easily understood by younger people in Mali, and by people outside Africa.

जहाँ छोटी कंप्यूटर भाषाओं की विशेषताएँ सोच-समझकर गढ़ी जाती हैं, वहीं C++ इस मामले में अनोखी है कि इसमें कार्यक्षमता का पूरा का पूरा दायरा ऐसे खोजा गया है, जैसे 19वीं सदी के अफ्रीका का कोई अनछुआ इलाका हो।

Whereas smaller computer languages have features designed into them, C++ is unusual in having a whole swathe of functionality discovered, like a tract of 19th century Africa.

वे अब तक दर्ज किए गए यूएफओ के सभी आकारों की तस्वीरों की एक सूची लेकर आए - जो लगभग पचास के करीब हैं... यूएफओ का अध्ययन हमें ऊर्जा के कुछ नए रूपों से रूबरू करा सकता है, या कम से कम हमें किसी समाधान के करीब तो ले ही आ सकता है।

They came up with a table of pictures of all the shapes of UFOs that have ever been recorded -about fifty ...The study of UFOs may reveal some new forms of energy to us,or at least bring us closer to a solution.

कई बार मुझे अ अफ़सोस होता है कि मैंने नोटेशन या संगीत पढ़ना क्यों नहीं सीखा, लेकिन मैं बहुत अधीर स्वभाव का हूँ।

निर्देशात्मक कार्यक्रम (instructional programming) वाक़ई बहुत अच्छे होते हैं। मुझे किसी भी प्रक्रिया को बनते देखना बहुत पसंद है और इसमें बड़ा मज़ा आता है।

Instructional programming is really great. To me, it's very enjoyable to watch a process.

मैं ऐसे कई लोगों को जानता हूँ जिनके पास ढेर सारे सिंथेसाइज़र हैं लेकिन वे उनके बारे में ज्यादा कुछ नहीं जानते, उन्हें उनकी तकनीकी खूबियां (स्पेसिफिकेशन्स) सब पता होती हैं, लेकिन वे सचमुच उन्हें जान नहीं पाते।

There's a lot of people I know who have a lot of synthesisers and they don't really know anything about them, they know the specifications and everything, but they don't really get to know them.

मैं हमेशा से ही लिप-सिंक करने के मामले में सुस्त रही हूँ। लेकिन जो तरीका मेरे लिए हमेशा काम आया, वह है चीज़ों को छोटे-छोटे हिस्सों में बांटना। मैं देखकर सीखने वालों में से हूँ, इसलिए मुझे चीज़ें सामने देखनी पड़ती हैं।

I've always been a lazy lip-syncher. But what's always worked for me is to break things down. I'm a visual learner, so I need to see it.

मैं अभी भी तलाश कर रहा हूँ। पीछे मुड़कर देखता हूँ तो महसूस होता है कि 'नेनेट ए बोनी' (Nénette Et Boni) का हमारे उसके बाद वाले एल्बम 'कर्टन्स' (Curtains) पर बहुत गहरा असर पड़ा था। मुझे लगता है कि यह सिलसिला हमेशा से ऐसा ही रहा है। 'ट्रबल एवरी डे' (Trouble Every Day) का हमारे एल्बम 'कैन आवर लव...' (Can Our Love...) पर बहुत प्रभाव पड़ा था... मुझे लगता है कि इसने हमें सिर उठाकर थोड़ा अलग रास्ता चुनने, नए रास्ते तलाशने और फिर वापस आकर अपनी चीज़ों को एक नए नजरिए से देखने की आज़ादी दी है।

I'm still exploring. As I look back, Nénette Et Boni had a massive effect on the album we made after it, Curtains. I think it's been like that all the way through. Trouble Every Day had a massive effect on Can Our Love... I think it's allowed us to raise our heads, take a bit of a left turn, explore different avenues, and then come back to our own thing and see it in a different way.
