The attempt to isolate economics from other disciplines-notably politics, history, philosophy, finance, constitutional theory and sociology-has fatally disabled its power to explain what is happening in the world.
Will Hutton
Image
The reason political party platforms are so long is that when you straddle anything it takes a long time to explain it.
Will Rogers
Image
I can't explain why one wants to pass a particular sort of pain onto other people, but you do.
Alexis Korner
Image
Everytime a lawyer writes something, he is not writing for posterity, he is writing something so that endless others of his craft can make a living out of trying to figure out what he said. Course perhaps he really haden't said anything, that's what makes it so hard to explain.
Will Rogers
Image
I loved it, it's such fun. I like that people are seeing it and then talking about it. Like when I took my son and his friends to see Napoleon Dynamite last year, we spent the next six weeks trying to explain it.

Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.

Natural selection certainly operates. It explains how bacteria will gain antibiotic resistance it will explain how insects get insecticide resistance, but it doesn't explain how you get bacteria or insects in the first place.

Sin we have explain'd away Unluckily, the sinners stay.
William Allingham
Image
No attempt to explain the world, either scientifically or theologically, can be considered successful until it accounts for the paradoxical conjunction of the temporal and the atemporal, of being and becoming. And no subject conforms this paradoical conjuction more starkly than the origin of the universe.
Paul Davies
Image
Only that which does not teach, which does not cry out, which does not condescend, which does not explain, is irresistible.
William Butler Yeats
Image
But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn't declaim or explain, it presents.
William Carlos Williams

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age
Isaac Newton
Image
We have, without any fanfare or much conversation, moved into a era in which news organizations are expected to explain themselves. Twenty years ago, it would not be expected that the New York Times would explain itself. The concept of what accountability.
Alex Jones
Image
If we had intellectual vigour enough to ascend from effects to causes, we would explain political, economical and social phenomena less by credit sheets, balance of trade and reparations than by our attitude towards God.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Myths are early science, the result of men's first trying to explain what they saw around them.
Edith Hamilton
Image
I don't think you can explain why all these other sports and college basketball have a fair representation of African American coaches, but college football doesn't. You can dig and scramble and scratch, but at the end of the day I think it's just pure, old-fashioned racism.
Frank Deford
Image
Basically with the financing of the war economy America emerged as the great power that developed logically into a superpower. I am not going to explain to you the history of the Cold War because you certainly know it but what we see now is China as the rising economic superpower, one that is certainly moving forward.

Much of the day I have busied myself making notes on the small parts in Shakespeare, often nameless, which are rewarding to the actor if only he'll not dismiss them as beneath his dignity. If I can work it up into a talk I might call it, 'Only a cough and a spit ' -the phrase so often used by actors to explain away a lack of opportunity.
Alec Guinness

I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Some of the greatest advances in mathematics have been due to the invention of symbols, which it afterwards became necessary to explain from the minus sign proceeded the whole theory of negative quantities.
Aldous Huxley
Image
All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I try to be self-analytical, both to outline the mistakes I made in my life and try to explain why I did, and the things that on balance I did pretty well on.
William J. Clinton
Image
It is astonishing how many mental operations we can explain when we have once grasped the principles of association
William James

Please explain the problem to me slowly, as I do not understand things quickly.
