Analytical geometry has never existed. There are only people who do linear geometry badly, by taking coordinates, and they call this analytical geometry. Out with them!
Jean Dieudonne
Image
Anything that exists on a time basis - that has a beginning, middle, and end, because you start watching it and then you're in the middle of watching it and then it ends - anything linear, for me, is narrative.
Saschka Unseld

Non-linear means it's hard to solve.
Arthur Mattuck
Image
The belief that time is a linear, directed sequence running from A to B is a modern illusion. In fact, it can also go from B to A, the effect producing the cause.
Umberto Eco
Image
You cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely.
Annie Leonard
Image
I suffer from and enjoy an incredibly vivid dream life. A lot of times there is a sort-of narrative and other times they are just funhouses of non-linear imagery and other scary stuff.
Adam Rapp

Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
David Hockney

The next big accelerator might be the ILC in Japan, a linear collider which might be able to probe the boundaries of string theory. So we physicists have to learn how to engage the public so that taxpayers money is used to explore the nature of the universe.
Michio Kaku
Image
History is not the linear sort of movement toward better and better things.
Ben H. Winters
Image
I try to write every day until the book is done, but the exact process depends on the story and its structure. Sometimes, if the story is more linear, I write it from beginning to end.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
My nature is to be linear, and when I'm not, I feel really proud of myself.
Cynthia Weil
Image
By definition, revolutions are not linear, one step at a time, event A leading to event B, and so on. Many causes operate on each other at once. Revolutions shift into place suddenly, like the pattern in a kaleidoscope. They do not so much proceed as crystallize.
Marilyn Ferguson
Image
Your mind is the knife that cuts the continuum of space and time into neat slices of linear experience.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Memory is not particularly linear - it is associative, repetitive, subjective and porous. But the writer needs to convey disorder and dysfunction without making the novel itself disorderly or dysfunctional.
Dana Spiotta
Image
I can't do a linear novel. I'm just going to write what I need to write.
Sandra Cisneros
Image
In an increasingly non-linear economy, incremental change is not enough-you have to build a capacity for strategy innovation, one that increases your ability to recognize new opportunities.
Gary Hamel
Image
Life is messy it's not linear, it's not logical, and the book reflects that.
Rose Quiello
Image
I think continuity is the devil. I think it's constricting and restrictive, I think it's alienating and off-putting, and it inflicts an artifact of linear time as we experience it on something that exists outside of linear time as well as keeps new readership away by keeping comics a matter of trivia and history rather than actual stories.
Matt Fraction
Image
Life doesn't move in a linear fashion. Life makes lefts and rights, and it doubles back.
Aaron Tveit
Image
Climate change is a process that typically is non-linear. Even upon examination, it lives in comparison with other moments.
Sebastian Copeland
Image
What I remove from my writing is linear context. It's not really important to me, because it doesn't give me chills to see, you flip the latch and the lock opens and then you can open the top of the chest and inside the chest is this. That doesn't give me chills, to think in that vein. So I've always kind of avoided it.

It has been my experience that most human stories are circular rather than linear. Regardless of the path we choose, we somehow end up where we commenced - in part, I suspect, because the child who lives in us goes along for the ride.
James Lee Burke
Image
With portable cameras and affordable data and non-linear digital editing, I think this is a golden age of documentary filmmaking. These new technologies mean we can make complicated, beautifully crafted and cinematic films about real-life stories.
Lucy Walker
Image
Life is not linear you have ups and downs. It's how you deal with the trough that defines you.
