There's some nice symmetry because now we've taken back the 75 basis points Greenspan gave us last year. The Fed has been saying steady as she goes for the last few years if you add it all up, and maybe this is where we will stop.

Chris Grisanti

He's a big fella. It just doesn't lend itself to the symmetry of the park.

Bill Brooks

Through it all there is order and symmetry and a vision of what the completed edifice will be; a vision of a perfect structure, dedicated wholly to the honor and glory of a great, good and loving God.

Margaret Wyvill Ecclesine

Like the furtive collectors of stolen art, we [cell biologists] are forced to be lonely admirers of spectacular architecture, exquisite symmetry, dramas of violence and death, mobility, self-sacrifice and, yes, rococo sex.

Lorraine Lee Cudmore

As you're developing, all sorts of things come at you, like diseases and injury. If you're able to develop symmetry despite all of that, then that would indicate to others that you have what it takes to make a go of it in that environment.

Lee Cronk

The butterfly's attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.

Primo Levi

It makes sense to use symmetry variation in mate choice. If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and reproduce with them, your offspring will have a better chance of being symmetric and able to deal with perturbations.

I mean your borrowers of books - those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.

Charles Lamb

Symmetry is a complexity-reducing concept (co-routines include subroutines); seek it everywhere.

Alan Perlis

Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.

Derek Walcott

The indium arsenide self-organizes into the dots, like raindrops on a car bonnet. We found that the key was producing the dots with a high degree of symmetry, and the physics of the materials does that for us.

Andrew Shields

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality . . . creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.
