Magnetic Quotations

Conscience is our magnetic compass; reason our chart.

A lot of my literature deals with these people who are somehow magnetic because they have that ability to step over lines.

End of the sixties, Keith Blazey interested me to work on GdAlO3, an antiferromagnet on which he had done optic experiments. This started a fruitful cooperation on magnetic phase diagrams, which eventually brought me into the field of critical phenomena.

The phonograph and kinetoscope may some day seize and perpetuate all save the magnetic touch, but that weird, illusive, indefinable yet wonderfully real power by which the orator subdues may never be caught by science or preserved for the cruel dissecting knife of the critic.

I like to call it the scalar boson because this reflects an essential component of the theory - it means that the field the boson travels through has no preferred direction, unlike the way a magnetic field does.

In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes.

We studied the light source in the direction of the magnetic force, we perforated the poles of the magnet; but even in the direction of the magnetic lines of force we found that our result was confirmed.

The transitions from metallic to critical behavior and from critical to insulating behavior have been induced with a magnetic field, and from insulating to critical and then to metallic behavior with increasing external pressure.

I can't say I'm not guilty of age discrimination when it comes to animals. Like most people I've walked into a shelter more than a few times and a magnetic force has pulled me toward those fluffy little puppies in the corner cage.

The idea of an e-book has been around since the late 1970s, when researchers at Xerox PARC got on the case. Their prototype used millions of little magnetic particles, black on one side and white on the other, loosely embedded in the surface of a soft sheet of rubber.

My grandmother, Angela, was the Fox family matriarch. She was magnetic but also wicked. She had this huge life force and was great fun, but she would play each member of the family off against each other, which could make for extremely dramatic Christmases.

It is reasonable that forces directed toward bodies depend on the nature and the quantity of matter of such bodies, as happens in the case of magnetic bodies.

I have a kind of magnetic attraction to situations of violence.

Maybe an asteroid will hit or something will happen to the magnetic polar fields, ... Or maybe the guy who was making calendars ran out of paper. Who knows?

Modern medicine uses imaging 'windows' such as magnetic resonance imaging scanners to bring into view otherwise unseen vital information that skilled physicians can use for the benefit of their patients.

She had a very magnetic personality. People were drawn to her warmth and good humor, but she was very centered on others, ... If you asked her about herself, you'd just get silence, but she was always ready to say great things about her teammates.

Sex and death, the magnetic poles of fiction, attract us children's writers no less than adult authors, but we have to be more leery of their pull.

I have a very limited knowledge of recording, but the miracle of being able to capture sounds on magnetic tape and the miracle of electricity, and these little magnetic particles, is amazing to me.

Kirby was the first name on everyone's list. That smile and that magnetic personality. He was a huge role model for so many people in that area. He was a huge influence in the way that I hit.

He is very charming and not arrogant. I think he will find himself having a tremendous number of graduate students because he has kind of a magnetic personality.

Gabriela and Patrick are champions of broad, magnetic appeal. Gianni is a scholar of broad journalistic and literary accomplishment. They represent a worldwide spread Australia, Argentina and Italy.

Had a magnetic personality. Everybody knew him -- knew him as the upbeat guy, and so he'll certainly be missed out here.

We take it to the basic component. We shred it. It goes through a magnetic belt. It comes back as reusable plastic.

There is an increased chance of blackouts due to magnetic currents on the power grids. This also creates more hazards for astronauts traveling through space.

Long-term archival storage remains the realm of magnetic tape libraries. Today there is no truly cost-effective ILM strategy without a tape component.

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are constantly being re-created.

Though we don't definitely know the mechanism by which these jets are produced, our findings are supportive of the idea that magnetic field lines interact in a way that causes them to work like the elastic bands of a giant sling shot throwing incoming material back out from the black hole.

The process of star formation is obscured because it takes place in these dense molecular clouds, so it's not yet directly observable. Astrophysicists believe that magnetic fields play a strong role in regulating the star formation by affecting the shape of these molecular clouds.

We hope to eventually be able to predict major events on the sun and to evaluate the impact of magnetic particles hitting the earth.

We are dealing with some very fundamental scientific issues of how to work with magnetic materials in an integrated circuit or on a chip. This is fundamentally changing the way we fabricate and integrate magnetic materials into existing communications circuitry.

The demonstration of logic in a magnetic system opens the door to all-magnetic information processing systems, including memory and logic.

What we see right now is a snapshot of a long time process between the magnetic field and the inner core. I do expect to see this rate change with time.

What we see strongly suggests that the magnetic field is indeed helical. If it is so, then this tells us a lot about the role magnetic fields might play in molecular clouds and star formation. It would be a major piece of evidence in trying to solve this mystery of how stars form.

We combined radio measurements we made of the Zeeman effect and optical measurements of magnetic fields from starlight.

Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.

Criminal gangs used to try and copy a card's magnetic strip in order to produce a counterfeit but with the introduction of chip and pin this is less of an option,

These results were incredibly exciting to me for a number of reasons. There's the scientific result of a helical field structure. Then, there's the successful measurement: This type of observation is very difficult, and it took dozens of hours on the telescope just to understand how this enormous dish responds to the polarized radio waves that are the signature of a magnetic field.

What attracted my wife and I to him was his magnetic personality and his big heart.

There is something in a woman beyond all human delight; a magnetic virtue, a charming quality, an occult and powerful motive

This transition away from magnetic storage will allow us to work toward a new business model, which includes improving our profitability rates over the next two years. Assuming a recovery in the semiconductor industry by early next year, we believe we can achieve our new business model targets by the end of next fiscal year.

The Univac introduced the use of the magnetic tape drive to be -- for its time -- a high-volume I/O mechanism.

This CME hit the Earth's magnetic field. Like a bubble, it's shivering, quaking. It will probably continue to quiver throughout the day and night.

You never know with those ankles, we'll just have to wait and see. I don't think it's that serious where he would have to get (a magnetic resonance imaging test).

In 1974/75, I spent a sabbatical year with Professor Vince Jaccarino and Dr. Alan King at the University of California in Santa Barbara to get a taste of nuclear magnetic resonance. We solved a specific problem on the bicritical point of MnF2, their home-base material. We traded experience, NMR, and critical phenomena.

If you're at Venus, you have no protecting magnetic field, and this million-mile-an-hour stream of ionization radiation slams straight into the upper atmosphere of the planet.

The value of magnetic patterning in storage devices such as hard drives has been known for a long time. What is unique here is that we've applied the patterning concept to the actual processing.

By creating a magnetic field with this device, we're hoping that this will interrupt this stimulation before it leads to the throbbing migraine headache.

In 2009, novelty toymaker Maxfield & Oberton released Buckyballs, sets of curiously powerful magnetic marbles that became the most popular cubicle toy since the Rubik's Cube, selling more than 2 million units in 15 countries.

The magnetic data storage industry is moving toward patterned magnetic media, where information is stored in small magnetic 'islands' similar to the ones we have been studying. It appears quite feasible that magnetic memory systems could be endowed with logic capability, thus merging memory and logic.

You can regard these magnetic field lines as akin to a taut rubber band. If you twist one end, the twist will travel up the rubber band.

This hydrogen gas emits radio waves with a wavelength of 21 centimeters, so they come in at about 1,420 megahertz on the radio dial. We were able to find that there is a magnetic field permeating this gas cloud and that its direction is pointing towards us above the cloud and then flips to pointing away from us on the bottom.

It's not really a radio frequency product. It's what they call inductive coupling, so it's more a magnetic energy transfer to the tag.

You can think of this structure as a giant, magnetic Slinky wrapped around a long, finger-like interstellar cloud. The magnetic field lines are like stretched rubber bands; the tension squeezes the cloud into its filamentary shape.

They fit into the team right away. They'll fit in no matter where they play or whatever the sport. They're just two magnetic and talented kids.

They had a plain, old round magnetic compass and a watch and they used landmarks on the ground. They did it with skill and familiarity with basic flight instruments. They were really some amazing pilots.

There isn't really anybody who occupies the lens to the extent that Lindsay Lohan does. Something happens when she steps in front of the camera. There is this magnetic energy.

If I am looking for something, for example a lost sunken submarine, I just hold my hands over the map and focus on the submarine until I feel a magnetic pull towards the location. To double check, I fly over the area. There is no deep concentration or meditation involved. I can talk, cycle or do other things at the same time. When I bend a spoon I just stroke the spoon gently and talk to it-bend, bend-and it bends.

I developed an interest in nuclear magnetic resonance, which was then emerging as a powerful technique for studying molecular structure.

Resentment isn't a magnetic personal style.

An analogy would be when you're scanning the radio dial and you get the same station separated by a small blank space. The size of the blank space is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field at the location in space where the station is being broadcast.

Whatever is in your magnetic field is attracting to itself, and so the more love in your field, the more power you have to attract the things you love.

Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.

Leadership is not magnetic personality/that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people /that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
