Minoru Yamasaki“You can be an expert any field of study with consistent effort and consistent learning.”
Lailah Gifty Akita“The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.”
Henry David Thoreau“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again though it contradict everything you said today.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson“When story and behavior are consistent, we relax; when story and behavior are inconsistent, we get tense. We have a deep psychological need for our stories and behaviors to be consistent. We need to be able to trust the story, because it's the lens through which we see reality. We will go to great lengths in the attempt to make a story that explains an action and supports or restores consistency. If we cannot make story and action fit, we either have to make a new story or change the action. ... [But] The drive for consistency and the ability to redefine abhorrent action so it fits the story are very complex issues. We have a huge ability to continue believing stories we are told are true in order to stay comfortable with actions we don't want to change, or don't feel capable of changing.”
Christina Baldwin, Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story“Consciousness is not about information but about its opposite: order. Consciousness is not a complex phenomenon”
it is what consciousness is _about_ that is complex. It is presumably this fact that is the reason many scientists over the decades have tended to perceive information as something involving order and organization. Because consciousness is about an experience of order and organization. Because consciousness is a state that does not process much information - consciously. Consciousness consists of information no more than a person who consumes large amounts of food can be said to consist of food. Consciousness is nourished by information the same way the body is nourished by food. But human beings do not consist of hot dogs“Your true power is not in your difference, but in your consistency of being different. The world will always adjust to consistency, yet struggle with change.”
Shannon L. Alder“Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.”
Aldous Huxley“Until the spirit of consistency kicks in, you would never know how far you could possibly go in life. Taking consistent effective actions is the only way that massive success could become a permanent lifestyle in your life.”
“The best men are not consistent in good—why should the worst men be consistent in evil?”
Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White
