That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories.

I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.

Whatever the medium there is the difficulty challenge fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.

In the transmission of human culture people always attempt to replicate to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning not DNA.

So in my freshman year at the University of Alabama learning the literature on evolution what was known about it biologically just gradually transformed me by taking me out of literalism and increasingly into a more secular scientific view of the world.

Woodrow Wilson called for leaders who by boldly interpreting the nation's conscience could lift a people out of their everyday selves. That people can be lifted into their better selves is the secret of transforming leadership.

You cannot transpose the U.S. system on Turkey and the Turkish system on France etc. You have to understand the people and their culture. That's leadership.

Market leadership can translate directly to higher revenue higher profitability greater capital velocity and correspondingly stronger returns on invested capital.

The role of leadership is to transform the complex situation into small pieces and prioritize them.

Most people who are selling their mineral rights this is a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. The people who are buying the landmen who are coming in do it every day. So there's a little inequity there about knowledge.

Yeah my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow.

Our problem from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher.

But now with the living conditions deteriorating and with the sure knowledge that we are slated for destruction we have been transformed into an implacable army of liberation.

Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.

To be educated a person doesn't have to know much or be informed but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life.

Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching to love their neighbors then they would put jealousy and frustration aside?

Human beings exercise responsibilities within a social setting and a framework of obligations which transcend the principle of intelligence.

If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity.

The day after the prison was transferred to the military intelligence command they had an entire battalion - 1 200 1 500 soldiers - arrive at Abu Ghraib just for force protection alone.
