Antibiotics have serious adverse reactions: diarrhea, anaphylaxis, allergies, rashes. We don’t give these medications without discussing the risks and benefits and only when they’re properly indicated.
The reactions haven’t differed; the concerns have been different. When I read for a predominantly Indian audience, there are more questions that are based on issues of identity and representation.
Music can be thought of as a type of perceptual illusion in which our brain imposes structure and order on a sequence of sounds. Just how this structure leads us to experience emotional reactions is part of the mystery of music.
Nobody works harder than me in the ring; no one steals the show more often, and no one gets better reactions for a guy who’s not even part of huge storylines.
Researchers have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two but can’t remember what they are.
There are many films and TV shows I make where people find themselves in fantastical situations; as often as possible, their reactions to it are very normal.
Understand: any phenomenon in the world is by nature complex. The people you deal with are equally complex. Any action sets off a limitless chain of reactions. It is never so simple as A leads to B. B will lead to C, D and beyond.
If you are seeing something for the first time, one of your first reactions should be fascination.
Something outrageous, in the truest sense of the word, is always happening. On social networks, we’re always voicing our reactions to these outrageous events. We read essays and ‘think pieces’ about these outrageous events. We comment on the commentary. We do this because we can.
I know I create major reactions in people.
I think the last thing you want to do as a writer, as a storyteller, is to create indifference. I don’t necessarily go out of my way to provoke, but I would much rather have a song that triggers a whole myriad of reactions than a song that inspires a shrug of the shoulder.
Carbon-carbon bond formation reactions employing organoboron compounds and organic electrophiles have recently been recognized as powerful tools for the construction of new organic compounds.
I remember very vividly being little and bringing my lunch to school and taking out what was my to-die-for treats from home, whether it was pig ears or dried seaweed, and the reactions of my classmates just hurt, down to my core.
I like the idea that people who see ‘Gone Girl’ are possibly going to come out with incredibly different reactions to it – not just between men and women, but if you are in a good relationship or a bad relationship. Everyone is going to bring their own bundle of prejudices and viewpoints and experiences to it.
Unlike uranium, plutonium was created in an American lab in 1940, but scientists soon realized that it could produce even wilder chain reactions and even bigger explosions. In fact, fearing another country would create it, too, the American government went to great lengths to keep even the existence of plutonium a secret.
I became almost immediately fascinated by the possibilities of trying out all conceivable reactions with them, some leading to explosions, others to unbearable poisoning of the air in our house, frightening my parents.
Mindfulness helps us freeze the frame so that we can become aware of our sensations and experiences as they are, without the distorting coloration of socially conditioned responses or habitual reactions.
Going as far back as ‘Dexter’s Lab,’ we’ve always had these sequences with no dialogue. The interesting thing is those sequences got the biggest reactions.
However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it.
But the nature of my main work in chemistry can be better represented by more than 280 English publications, of which roughly 200 concern the theory of chemical reactions and related subjects.
I was in Studio 54 one time; it was great. But I’m not a discotheque guy. Sometimes, if I had a new demo, I went to some discotheques to check it out – see how the reactions of the people were. But just to dance, I rarely did that.
There are so many reactions to art that make sense to me – but ‘ick’ means something.
The media and the rest of popular culture weren’t recording people’s reactions to 9/11; they were forcing made-up reactions down people’s throats.
Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life.
Perhaps America works like this: Presidencies swing, as reactions to each other, like a pendulum. My optimistic belief is it is how we keep our country in balance.
I have incredible respect for customers and peers – my curriculum is very strong because I was taught by my clients’ reactions to my work.
I do like reality shows, and I watch some of them because they’re high drama. It’s also just fun to watch people have honest reactions.
I just love to see the crowd reactions when I drop certain songs. There’s some songs that you just know are going to pull out some serious emotions with people, and I love seeing that.
Anguish over the loss of a loved one or feelings of helplessness have complex roots. But in the end, they make you feel bad because they adjust your brain’s chemistry. Happiness and its opposite are both electro-chemical reactions; those reactions are temporary and ineffable and could even have hidden benefits.
We like to be involved vaguely in the creative process so we know what’s going on and we have some input, but actually, ‘Top Gear’ is at its best when the producers spring something on you and we respond naturally to it. The more you know, the less realistic your reactions.
The possibility of observing the developments of the psychical life of the child as natural phenomena and experimental reactions transforms the school itself in action into a kind of scientific laboratory for the psychogenetic study of man.
If you don’t think your anxiety, depression, sadness and stress impact your physical health, think again. All of these emotions trigger chemical reactions in your body, which can lead to inflammation and a weakened immune system. Learn how to cope, sweet friend. There will always be dark days.
If we can’t have a public debate because the information space is so polluted, or because people are afraid of the reactions of organized trolls, then we can’t really have meaningful elections anymore, either.
There is something very basic to the sense of listening. The sense of hearing is the only one that operates totally from vibrations, without other physical or chemical reactions to receive the sensations.
The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions.
The sun derives its energy from fusion reactions in which hydrogen is transformed into helium.
Enzymes catalyze all the reactions of life. They’re what allow you to extract materials and energy from your environment and turn that into muscle and tissue and fat. That’s all done by enzymes. They’re pretty remarkable chemists – they’re even better than Caltech chemists.
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
The bottom line may be that my inventing buildings is, indeed, a very private kind of activity. But it’s done to be shared. It is comforting and consoling. From the reactions I get I can see I’m not doing something strange.
After engaging in acts of war against another nation, there exists a degree of uncertainty in terms of the enemy’s reactions. War inspires an unpredictable psychology and evokes strong emotions that defy systems analysis quantification.
Mixed reactions? Sure, I get them all the time. I’m a Marmite artist.
Laughter is a Trojan horse to enter into direct contact with the unconscious, strike the imagination, and trigger visceral reactions.
Anytime I make a movie, I really have absolutely no idea how it’s going to go over. I’ve had the whole range of different kinds of reactions.
There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.
It’s one of the things that I tend to do, make the right decision, right time, and get the right reactions and capitalize on it.
Myself, I happen to be married to an African-American woman, and we’re together 17 years. We took a few trips to the South 15 years ago, and we were sobered by some of the reactions people had – how subtle or not-so-subtle their reactions were.
The key to creating the mental space before responding is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a way of being present: paying attention to and accepting what is happening in our lives. It helps us to be aware of and step away from our automatic and habitual reactions to our everyday experiences.
Sport doesn’t work on knee-jerk reactions.
As soon as I had proved this and, of course, also the normal pointing action and reactions in all other extremities and joints, I stopped the experiment.
