The initial motive for developing APL was to provide a tool for writing and teaching. Although APL has been exploited mostly in commercial programming, I continue to believe that its most important use remains to be exploited: as a simple, precise, executable notation for the teaching of a wide range of subjects.

I've been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment. As for conducting an orchestra, that's a job where I don't think sex plays much part.
Nadia Boulanger
Image
Passions are merely ideas in their initial stage.
Mikhail Lermontov
Image
The tiny, initial clue ... by allowing us to imagine what we do not know, stimulates a desire for knowledge.
Marcel Proust
Image
There are going to be moments of deep, deep doubts, and you have to have faith that your initial idea was good and just muddle through.
Ann Brashares
Image
I remember playing Coachella and seeing kids in the audience who weren't even born when we had our initial run of success. They were singing along to every word, which was an amazing thing to see.
David Lovering
Image
My heart has been heavy and I have deliberated within my own conscience, knowing that my decision should not come out of my initial emotion of anger toward the President for such reckless behavior, but should be based on the facts.
Blanche Lincoln
Image
But that initial, comet-blazing-across-the-sky, Big Idea is only the beginning. Each book is composed of a mosaic of thousands of little ideas, ideas that invariably come to me at two in the morning when my alarm is set for seven.
Lauren Willig
Image
I had five years of failure, really, before I had the first initial sign of success.
James Rothman
Image
I think that the existence of Beethoven is remarkable, but I do not bristle at the suggestion that this event had a low probability given the initial state of the universe.
Elliott Sober
Image
So you're just moving along and suddenly you get this moment that breaks your ability to continue, and yet you continue. I wanted those kinds of moments. And initially people would say, I don't think I have any. Their initial reaction was to render invisible those moments weaved into a kind of everydayness.
Claudia Rankine
Image
Courage is required to make an initial thrust towards ones coveted goal, But even greater courage is called for when one stumbles and must make a second effort to achieve.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
Too large a proportion of recent mathematical economics are mere concoctions, as imprecise as the initial assumptions they rest on, which allow the author to lose sight of the complexities and interdependencies of the real world in a maze of pretentious and unhelpful symbols.
John Maynard Keynes
Image
We expect to make about 500,000-600,000 more. Our initial goal was one million, but in reality we will probably make a bit less.
Eric Friedman
Image
We came to recognize that our initial thinking about the keys to educational reform was wrong. The key variables weren't pedagogical. They weren't financial. They weren't curricular. They weren't research. They weren't any of the usual things we've always talked about as the engines of change. The variables were deeply emotional and cultural.

The initial step for us all to come to knowledge of God is contemplation of nature.
Irenaeus of Lyons
Image
. . when the initial excitement of playing starts to evaporate, good habits are needed to sustain the learning process.
Howard Snell

This bill would allow an employee to bring a claim against an employer decades after the alleged initial act of discrimination occurred. Trial lawyers, you can be sure, are salivating at this very prospect.
Buck McKeon

With The Help, I knew folks involved in the project peripherally. I wanted to audition for Hilly Holbrook and part of the initial feedback was: No, Bryce is too nice. That's part of the reason why I really love auditions as well - you get to try out a character and try out different versions of a character.

High-quality software is not expensive. High-quality software is faster and cheaper to build and maintain than low-quality software, from initial development all the way through total cost of ownership.

I think every writer's had the experience of having a really good idea, waiting to write it, and then once you write it, you're like, Oh I kind of got past the sell by date on this. I'm not connected to the initial spark that was the idea. A lot of that's about staying open.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Image
I don't know how that budget would have been worked out, but that was the initial idea. Obviously, we couldn't have had a show with nine expensive actors in it. It was very nice that they were even interested in doing that. But, I was so proud of what we'd done that I couldn't think of a compelling reason to do a lesser version of it.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Image
I keep plastering it until it comes around to what I want, in terms of all I know and think about painting now, as well as in terms of the initial observation.
Richard Diebenkorn
Image
We expressed our readiness to join the US-led, international coalition against Daesh with special forces. All of this, however, is still in the discussion phase and in the initial planning phase.
