Premature as the question may be, it is hardly possible not to wonder whether we will find any answer to our deepest questions, any signs of the workings of an interested God, in a final theory. I think that we will not.
Steven Weinberg
Image
Premature success gives one an almost mystical conception of destiny as opposed to will power-at its worst the Napoleonic delusion.

Maurice Sendak
Image
It's often the way that people who take their work seriously laugh at stupid jokes it's as if they are under-humored and, as a consequence, suffer from premature laugh-ejaculation.
Nick Hornby
Image
The young knowledge worker whose job is too small to challenge and test his abilities either leaves or declines rapidly into premature middle age, soured, cynical, unproductive.
Peter Drucker
Image
God screens us evermore from premature ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, of the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There is no question that al-Qaida operatives are currently active in Iraq. A premature exit before the threat they represent has been dealt with would endanger America and the prospects of eventual peace in the Middle East.
Robert Foster Bennett
Image

Tertullian
Image

For the general practitioner a well-used library is one of the few correctives of the premature senility which is so apt to take him.
William Osler
Image
I diagnosed my loneliness as premature empty nest syndrome.
Kristen Schaal
Image
It is not just the vulgar, premature bawdiness of pro-war triumphalists which I find revolting. It is that they accuse anti-war people of being uncaring about the people of Iraq, and the lack of concern that these proponents of war show for the bodies of the killed and those maimed and injured by their invasion.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
Image

Mary Crosby
Image

James Comey
Image
We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Edith Wharton
Image
The repentant, run-to-seed ultra-Leftists who have converted to humanitarianism, artificial inseminators of the widow and the orphan, themselves orphans of reality and malades imaginaires of politics, premature ejaculators of posthistory and hyperchondriacs of the dead body of ideology and morality.
Jean Baudrillard
Image
A premature attempt to explain something that thrills you will destroy your perceptivity rather than increase it, because your tendency will be to explain away rather than seek out.
