Measure Quotes

“Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:

1. Acceptance
2. Understanding
3. Appreciation

Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart.

Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it — do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions?

So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“Let us dedicate this new era to mothers around the world, and also to the mother of all mothers -- Mother Earth. It is up to us to keep building bridges to bring the world closer together, and not destroy them to divide us further apart. We can pave new roads towards peace simply by understanding other cultures. This can be achieved through traveling, learning other languages, and interacting with others from outside our borders. Only then will one truly discover how we are more alike than different. Never allow language or cultural traditions to come between brothers and sisters. The same way one brother may not like his sister's choice of fashion or hairstyle, he will never hate her for her personal style or music preference. If you judge a man, judge only his heart. And if you should do so, make sure you use the truth in your conscience when weighing one's character. Do not measure anybody strictly based on the bad you see in them and ignore all the good.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

― Daniel Wallace, The Kings and Queens of Roam

“The only measure of this is the truth. But what is the truth? Is the truth what we establish as truth or what it is, in its absolute meaning, independent of us? Does the truth of language, thought, and meaning wear the colors of our understanding? If the truth, as we see it, wears, to some extent, our colors, the truth will always be, at least a bit, distorted.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“A dimension is a measure of something wrongly used as the property or feature of something, but space itself is not, in its essence, what we think it is. We imagine space, conceptually and linguistically, as something solid and conditionally emptiness if this emptiness is within something tangible as matter. In this way, all we measure is the measure of a shape that we see in the way we see it, not how it is. We can also measure distances between the shapes. This is how we form our idea of space. Even if there was no absolute vacuum, what gives space or dimensions to anything we measure or see as space in the “material universe” is this void or nothingness. We experience and measure all the physical qualities of reality, but they are only “coordinates” or informational, immaterial skeletons of Reality appearing in the forms we experience as “physical.” We measure this very void for, without it, space or our idea of space is impossible.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“The measure of the quality of ideas or scientific achievements is their accuracy or exactness. The standard of value, or quality, in the field of art is the level of “pure beauty” (including intellectual power, wisdom, and ideas containing justified novelty) represented by the intrinsic value of a particular work of art (in its justifiable novelty). Even beauty is the measure, or one of the possible measures, of the realities and facts of life and existence. Even beauty has its dimensions and exactness. The sheer immeasurability of beauty is the measure of its infinite value. We cannot represent, describe, or define the factual state of beauty in a better way than by beauty itself.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“Not everything fits into a cost-benefit analysis. Just because something is difficult to measure or quantify does not mean it is not valuable!”

― Berend van der Kolk, The Quantified Society
