Sylvia Plath was just a month and a half older than I, and when she committed suicide I was only 30 - and very shocked and sorry. I never knew her personally.

Symbolic violence is violence wielded with tacit complicity between its victims and its agents, insofar as both remain unconscious of submitting to or wielding it.
‐‐ Pierre Bourdieu
Symbolically, what the rabbis say is that at Passover, what we have to do is try to get rid of our hot air - our pride, our feeling that we are the most important people in the whole entire world and that everything should revolve round us.
‐‐ Jackie Tabick
Symbolism is alright in 'fiction,' but I tell true life stories simply about what happened to people I knew.
‐‐ Jack Kerouac
Symbolism perhaps is a bit in your face, and I've tried my best to control that as best I can as I've grown older and thought that one could approach something with a little more subtlety.
‐‐ John Schlesinger
Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life.
‐‐ Margot Asquith
Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
‐‐ Steve Earle
Sympathetic cracks. A term frequently used by architects and surveyors in terms of ageing houses. I know what they mean.
‐‐ Ted Dexter
Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.
‐‐ Leigh Hunt
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
‐‐ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sympathy for victims is always counter-balanced by an equal and opposite feeling of resentment towards them.
‐‐ Ben Elton
Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.
‐‐ Bob Feller
Sympathy is the first condition of criticism.
‐‐ Henri Frederic Amiel
Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load.
‐‐ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Sympathy with nature is part of a good person's religion.
‐‐ Francis Herbert Hedge
Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.
‐‐ Skitch Henderson
Symptoms, those you believe you recognize, seem to you irrational because you take them in an isolated manner, and you want to interpret them directly.
‐‐ Jacques Lacan
Synaptic summation is the technical term used in neurophysiology for those instances in which some neuron C is fired only by a combination of neurons A and B.
‐‐ Gregory Bateson
Synchrotron light has revolutionized the field of protein crystallography. It has made it possible to look at much larger structures with much smaller crystals.
‐‐ Gregory Petsko
'Syndicate' is technically the first game I worked on.
‐‐ Richard K. Morgan
Synergies are not only about cost reduction. Synergies can be access to markets, exchange of products, avoiding overlaps, exchange of best practices.
‐‐ Carlos Ghosn
Synergy and serendipity often play a big part in medical and scientific advances.
‐‐ Julie Bishop
Synergy is better than my way or your way. It's our way.
‐‐ Stephen Covey
Synergy is the VCR of media right now - discredited, outdated and left behind.
‐‐ David Zinczenko
Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It's the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge.
‐‐ Stephen Covey
Syntax, my lad. It has been restored to the highest place in the republic.
‐‐ John Steinbeck
Synthesis is the process of making a natural product, or some other substance, artificially, in the lab, one step at a time, from extremely simple building blocks.
‐‐ Gregory Petsko
Synthesizers were looked at as stealing the soul of music, but then there were these new bands who used it to contradict that idea.
‐‐ Brendon Urie
Synthetic biology can help address key challenges facing the planet and its population. Research in synthetic biology may lead to new things such as programmed cells that self-assemble at the sites of disease to repair damage.
‐‐ Craig Venter
Synths are a very low level of artificial intelligence. Whereas you have a Stradivarius that will live for a thousand years.
‐‐ Thomas Bangalter
Syria and Iran have always had a pretty tight relationship, and it looks to me like they just cooked up a press release to put out to sort of restate the obvious. They're both problem countries; we know that. And this doesn't change anything.
‐‐ Mitch McConnell
Syria, for all its problems, at least has a constitution that guarantees equal protection of citizens. Around the world, we have seen that this is essential where Christians are a minority and are not protected.
‐‐ Franklin Graham
Syria is a multi-confessional state: in addition to Sunni and Shia Muslims, there are Alawites, Orthodox and other Christian confessions, Druzes, and Kurds.
‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
Syria is a problem, but Iran is a bigger problem.
‐‐ Rodney Frelinghuysen
Syria is a terrorist state by any definition and is so classified by the State Department. I happen to think Iran is too. Iraq, Iran, Syria, they're all involved.
‐‐ Alexander Haig
Syria is geographically and politically in the middle of the Middle East.
‐‐ Bashar al-Assad
Syria is hosting the most dangerous terrorist organizations.
‐‐ Ariel Sharon
Syria is still the foundation of the axis of evil, and I'm not sure it's appropriate to transfer Israel's northern front to the axis of evil.
‐‐ Eli Yishai
Syria is the proud heir of an ancient civilization that has a unique spectrum of minorities that encompasses Muslims and Christians of various denominations. There are at least ten such ethnic and religious groups.
‐‐ Ahmed Zewail
Syria may appear to be a small country, but it is just the type of entangled conflict that can lead to a world catastrophe. It does not take much imagination to see Syria as the Sarajevo of the 21st century, leading to world war.
‐‐ Ahmed Zewail
Syria's population is 74% Sunni Muslim.
‐‐ Elliott Abrams
Syrians need to prepare for the aftermath if the Assad regime falls. Atrocities that could be considered war crimes have been committed in this country, and Syrians should rightly demand that the perpetrators be held accountable.
‐‐ Richard Engel
Syriza is what it is: a radical, left-wing party that feels the pulse of the times, knows what's at stake, and is after a wide consensus and unity for political change in Greece. This is something that departs from the narrow limits of the radical left.
‐‐ Alexis Tsipras
System of a Down is the music that I wanted to buy but couldn't find at the store. It's the band I wanted to be a fan of.
‐‐ Daron Malakian
Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.
‐‐ Johan Huizinga
Systematically identity top designers as early as possible. The best are often not the most experienced.
‐‐ Fred Brooks
Systems are complex, so controlling an attack and achieving a desired level of damage may be harder than using physical weapons.
‐‐ Dorothy Denning
Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.
‐‐ Bill Joy
Systems are to be appreciated by their general effects, and not by particular exceptions.
