Angular Quotes

On sharp shapes, motion, and precise design.

These angular quotes stretch across robotics and music, noting how angular motion affects robot design and how sharper, angular forms tend to produce harder, harsher sounds, a contrast worth pairing with our body quotes collection.

If you want a robot to maneuver aggressively, it has to be small. As you scale things down, the 'moment of inertia' - the resistance to angular motion - drops dramatically.

Quotes by Vijay Kumar

The landlady of a boarding-house is a parallelogram - that is, an oblong angular figure, which cannot be described, but which is equal to anything.

Quotes by Stephen Leacock

Biologically, I'm lucky - an angular face and dark colouring which shows up well on camera.

Quotes by Robert Carlyle

Ethnically, Tuareg describe themselves as white. And they don't look Arab or black. Many Tuareg have light skin, light eyes and sharp angular noses and cheekbones. They are cousins of the Berbers of North Africa. Some legends say the Tuareg...

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

Quotes by Norman McLaren

The research included neutron resonance spectroscopy, the angular distribution of pion elastic and inelastic scattering on nuclei with optical model fitting.

Quotes by James Rainwater

When discs form around stars, there is interaction of angular momentum between disc, planets and parent star, and this interaction affects the rotation of the parent star, and that will affect the lithium abundance.

Quotes by Garik Israelian

The toughest trail I ever ran was the Escarpment in the Catskills of New York State. This was an 18-mile race through Rip Van Winkle country, routed through boulder fields, across angular juttings of granite and along a path with...

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'angular' appear across such different fields in these quotes?
The word describes both physical shape and abstract qualities like sound or personality, which is why it shows up in robotics, music, literature, and physics alike.
How does angular motion relate to robot design?
One quote explains that smaller robots reduce resistance to angular motion, letting them maneuver more aggressively, connecting physics directly to engineering choices.
Do these quotes discuss angular shapes in art or music?
Yes, one contrasts rounded forms that produce smooth sounds with angular forms that create harder, harsher tones, applying geometry to how we perceive sound.
Is there a literary use of 'angular' in this collection?
Yes, one quote humorously describes a landlady as an 'oblong angular figure,' showing the word's playful use in classic writing.
Are there related quotes about physical form?
Yes, check our body quotes collection for more on how physical shape and description are discussed elsewhere.

Other lines borrow the word for literary description and scientific research, proving angular applies as easily to a landlady's figure as to particle physics, a range echoed in our black quotes page.
