I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.

The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions instincts and passions intelligence and reason.

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true there would be little hope of advance.

History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions.

The worst mistake of first contact made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.

You can't make assumptions when you're dealing with health issues.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions but an immediate insight self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.

Blind faith no matter how passionately expressed will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

It evolved from my experience in the fifties growing up during the McCarthy era and hearing a lot of assumptions that America was wonderful and Communism was terrible.

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings sadness and drama. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.

Still intuitive assumptions about behavior is only the starting point of systematic analysis for alone they do not yield many interesting implications.
