I get heartfelt thanks from all kinds of people. Today I heard from a waitress in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests.

Unless it's a specific accent or something about physicality you have to change I am generally not such a conscious actor.

When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain they behave in ways suggestive of pain and the change in behaviour may last several hours.

Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.

You are going in one second the length of a football field. That means you brain is receiving information from your body what the car is doing physically bumping balance performance.

Spending $1 for a brand new house would feel very very good. Spending $1 000 for a ham sandwich would feel very very bad. Spending $19 000 for a small family car would feel well more or less right. But as with physical pain fiscal pain can depend on the individual and everyone has a different threshold.

Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.

McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.

After hurting myself like that I could not go back immediately to racing. I was in no condition mentally or physically. That helped me to strengthen myself to go through the hard times that were ahead with my business and to be successful.

I love making people laugh and feel good and that's awesome and special for me to be able to do that but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it's on a major scale or whether it's in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing.

Both my brothers became physicians and I of course wandered into a business where the undisciplined are welcome.

I get a lot of the ideas when I'm resting - either when I'm meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back like physical therapy or acupuncture. That's where I get my best ideas maybe because I'm balancing my body.

I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time and that's all clever stuff.

Childhood obesity is best tackled at home through improved parental involvement increased physical exercise better diet and restraint from eating.

And I believe that the best buy in public health today must be a combination of regular physical exercise and a healthy diet.

It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge mathematical knowledge physical knowledge and so forth.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves whether it's shyness insecurity anxiety whether it's a physical block and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

Prescription: A physician's guess at what will best prolong the situation with least harm to the patient.

Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty - as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

Blanche talks about aging and why should she be considered poor because physical beauty is transitory and fading and she has such richness of the soul. I think that speech is so beautiful and so telling and so true.

Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.

The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about.
