Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I will follow it.
Quotes about spirals (13 Quotes)
Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere.
The perception in the market that the Fed has done a good job of controlling inflation spirals has taken the risk premium from the back or long end of the yield curve.
He has excellent control. The ball spirals off his foot. His golf bag is full of clubs, too. He can go right and left equally well. He can hit that Aussie-style end-over-end in close. He can angle it out of bounds. He can do a lot of things.
Technical indicators help investors avoid downward spirals like Enron. That being said, I don't pay much attention to news. I pay attention to how investors react to news. A good or bad reaction is more important than the news itself.
The spirals of the helix should be as nearly approximated as possible, as each aids by its heat that of its neighbour, or rather diminishes the cooling effect of the gaseous atmosphere.
The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.
We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.
She was an ugly little duckling she wasn't ugly but she was a little duckling with terrible costumes, dirty skates, awkward and no spirals. To see her turn into a rock star in skating... and make a transformation from a duckling into a swan, that was probably the most exciting thing about her.
The human mind always makes progress, but it is a progress in spirals.
The great spirals... apparently lie outside our stellar system.
Pick up a pinecone and count the spiral rows of scales. You may find eight spirals winding up to the left and 13 spirals winding up to the right, or 13 left and 21 right spirals, or other pairs of numbers. The striking fact is that these pairs of numbers are adjacent numbers in the famous Fibonacci series 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... Here, each term is the sum of the previous two terms. The phenomenon is well known and called phyllotaxis. Many are the efforts of biologists to understand why pinecones, sunflowers, and many other plants exhibit this remarkable pattern. Organisms do the strangest things, but all these odd things need not reflect selection or historical accident. Some of the best efforts to understand phyllotaxis appeal to a form of self-organization. Paul Green, at Stanford, has argued persuasively that the Fibonacci series is just what one would expects as the simplest self-repeating pattern that can be generated by the particular growth processes in the growing tips of the tissues that form sunflowers, pinecones, and so forth. Like a snowflake and its sixfold symmetry, the pinecone and its phyllotaxis may be part of order for free.
For Men, no circle is ever closed. We walk ever in spirals.
