If you only believe that you're an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that's quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.

American Singer

People talk about balance. Balance is an awful measure of things because it implies a scale that inevitably tips. I like to look through the filter of, 'Is the life I'm leading consistent with my priorities?' For me, my family is the ultimate litmus test.

American Businesswoman

Tom Morello

My music is - there's no litmus test, there's no political litmus test for listening to it - but I am never going to compromise one iota to satisfy with someone who's uncomfortable with the ideas I feel in my heart.

American Musician

Ken Buck

I won't use abortion as a litmus test with a pro-choice individual. Someone that is an activist on the abortion issue, I think, goes outside the pale, and I cannot support an activist on the abortion issue.

American Politician

Any elected official who asks to visit my schools is welcome to do so; there is no political litmus test.

American Educator

Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test.

British Activist

Jon Ossoff

I'm not that interested in labels or litmus tests.

American Director

Litmus is specifically used in chemistry to indicate acidity or alkalinity, not general color change.

Chemical Indicator

Remember, litmus turns only blue in alkaline conditions and red in acidic conditions, not other colors.

Blue and Red

Litmus is not the substance being tested; it's the tool to test other substances.

Testing Substance

The term 'litmus test' is often used as a metaphor in non-scientific contexts to describe a decisive challenge.

Metaphorical Use

'Litmus test' can be used to analyze the success or failure of a policy, view, or product.

Analyzing Situations

A 'litmus test' implies a result that is definitive and clear, much like the color change in the actual test.

Clear Outcome

 a new litmus test of what does it mean to actually be with us. You can't just sing our songs, use our hashtags and march in our marches, if you are on the other end of supporting the structures that put us in harm's way, that literally kill us. And this is the opportunity for white allies

The path to ending...

 this is that I feel that my relationships are a lot deeper richer stronger and and for me the I guess the litmus test for whether this would work and what it would mean was always going to be bedtime stories because that's sort of where the journey began and there to the news
