The voice is like a man, like ourselves: we all feel melancholic about what we have lost, the things we could do when we were young. But having the possibility to still perform is wonderful. The voice loses elasticity as you age, but on the other hand, maybe you are more mature as an interpreter, maybe your approach to singing deepens.

I think noir is an immensely powerful - and elastic - lens through which to look at narrative and character. It seems to access something dark and true in us that other modes of fiction are often a bit prissy about touching. But the key to making it work as time and culture moves on is to use the elasticity, not just the power.

English Author

Ellen Key

When it comes to the application to life of existing laws and morals, woman, because of her willing receptiveness, her elasticity and adaptability combined with her power of tenacious retention, has exerted an influence, the value of which is too vast to be measured.

Swedish Writer

Yoko Ono

Sound as medium has an incredible elasticity. So, of course, it is tempting for artists of other fields to try something with sounds. Why not? We are living in the age when there is no limit in gathering all forms of art and music to mix it together if you so desire.

American Artist

Albert Schweitzer

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

German Theologian

Adrianne Lenker

Everything is fleeting and passing and impermanent in life. Relationships, people, our finite physical forms... We let go of our childhoods, we let go of different parts of our body, we lose elasticity in our skin, and we lose hair and we lose teeth.

American Musician

Elizabeth Gilbert

Part of the elasticity that you need, in order to continue to try to create, is the foregone conclusion that not all of it is going to be fabulously successful. But it's all going to be part of a long lifetime body of experimentation.

American Novelist

Henry Gray

Bone is one of the hardest structures of the animal body; it possesses also a certain degree of toughness and elasticity.

English Scientist

Marie Helvin

The only thing I can't change is the elasticity of my skin.

Kenneth Branagh

The elasticity of Shakespeare is extraordinary.

Irish Actor

Usually used to describe the flexibility of tangible materials, not abstract concepts or feelings.

Physical Objects

Elasticity implies that after stretching or compression, the object should return to its original form.

Non-permanent Change

Can be used metaphorically, to describe the adaptability of something non-physical, like a system.

Not Always Literal

Economic context focuses on responses to price changes, unlike the broader physical sense of the word.

Economic Specificity

The term is frequently used in academic texts and may not be common in everyday conversation.

Academic Language

Refers to how much people will change their buying habits when prices go up or down.

Price Sensitivity

In physics, 'elasticity' is a precise term that describes material behavior under force.

Physical Science Term

It's related to how materials handle stress without breaking and how they strain or stretch.

Stress and Strain

While we often think of rubber as elastic, many materials can have 'elasticity' in physics.

 ask you also think are there other areas of African life where this same principle can be applied because it seems to me that in that way you suck corruption out of parts of the system the second part is selling shortage is to do with price elasticity that's another economists fancy term

 but instead of the basket-weave formation found in healthy tissue, the new ECM is aligned in a single direction, impeding inter-cell processes, and reducing durability and elasticity. To make matters worse, the healed tissue contains a higher proportion of ECM than before,

 Elasticity of mind is something that we really need, you know, we really need, we really cherish and we really work on. And this exhibition is about the work of designers that help us be more elastic, and also of designers that really work on this elasticity

 Photoaging from chronic sun exposure leads to a loss of elasticity in the skin, in other words, making it look saggy. Take a look at this truck driver who's left side was chronically exposed to the sun and notice the difference. This is an important point.

Why do we have to wear...

 There it is. That's great. You always take the risk that something like this won't work onstage, right? But we can have materials with great mechanical properties. For the first time, we can have elastomers that are high elasticity or high dampening.

 One acts mainly as filter, the other mainly as barrier, and yet it's the same no parts, no assemblies. It's a system that gradually varies its functionality by varying elasticity. So here this is a split screen to represent my split world view,

 is just strong enough to stretch the rubber band until it loses its elasticity. The expansion wouldn’t be able to accelerate anymore, but the universe would keep getting bigger. Clusters of galaxies would separate.

 You don't have that kind of fine control with conventional leather. And we can tune this leather for other desirable qualities, like softness, breathability, durability, elasticity and even things like pattern.
