Felicity Jones

My agent called me up and said, 'There is a tremendous female lead in the new 'Star Wars' film, and I think you're really going to like it.' The opportunity to play someone determined, who's trying to find her skills as a leader; to be in a fantasy movie; to be able to do a leading female role in a film of that scale - that's very, very rare.

Mark Zuckerberg

I mean, we've built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it's really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that's what's so amazing about the scale that it's at today.

American Businessman

Ramin Djawadi

There's been a great development with scale on TV, but my approach is always the same across projects, whether it's a video game, a movie, or a TV show: I always try to set up my sounds and my themes. I really try to stay with the characters and do the storytelling through the music.

German Composer

Christopher Nolan

We all wake up in the morning wanting to live our lives the way we know we should. But we usually don't, in small ways. That's what makes a character like Batman so fascinating. He plays out our conflicts on a much larger scale.

British Director

George Saunders

If you think of a work of fiction as a kind of scale model of the world, then the positive valences - where things turn out better than you thought they would - ought to be in there somewhere, too.

American Writer

The truth is that painting is all about scale; you use scale to create experience. A lot of artists have lost that ability. They don't even know that's something they should be doing.

American Artist

Mahatma Gandhi

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

Indian Leader

Keanu Reeves

I've been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.

Canadian Actor

Josh Billings

The man whose only pleasure in life is making money, weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm.

American Comedian

Francis Ford Coppola

Anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos.

Scale can represent levels of quality, importance, or rank, often numerically.

Quantifying Rank

A scale doesn't always follow a linear progression; some scales have varied intervals.

Not Always Linear

Visualize scales on animals as protective, overlapping plates.

Natural Armor

Scales can vary greatly in color, pattern, and size across different species.

Variety in Appearance

Scale in this sense conveys a physical challenge or achievement.

Achieving Heights

Scale can be used figuratively to mean overcoming obstacles.

Figurative Climb

Remember that a scale is a device for determining weight, whether an object's or your own.

Weighing Device

A scale is commonly found in bathrooms and used for personal weight checks.

Musical scales are fundamental to learning instruments and understanding music theory.

Different scales can evoke emotions; major is often happy, minor is sad or dramatic.

To scale something is to change its size while keeping its proportions the same.

Adjusting Proportions

In business, to scale up is to grow or expand in a capable and efficient manner.

 was remarkably close to the way turbulent flow works, although a complete description of turbulence remains one of the unsolved problems in physics. A turbulent flow is self-similar if there is an energy cascade. In other words, big eddies transfer their energy to smaller eddies, which do likewise at other scales.

 When we die, we are reincarnated into a new body. If we followed our dharma and did our proper duty in our past life, we get good karma, which sends our soul upward in the social scale. Our rebirth into the next life is thus determined by what we do in this one.

 And doing that, I think, is the answer to the future because it's not about scaling a new solution; it's about creating a movement in education in which people develop their own solutions, but with external support based on a personalized curriculum.
