This is in us: a certain sense of denial, a certain sense of groupthink. This is not something that sits on one party line or the other. We've seen it in all permutations throughout history, and at the core of it is a certain insistence that what we want to be true is now true, and what we don't like is now false.

American Director

James Wolcott

Feature-length film comedy is harder to pull off than the episodic sitcom - it doesn't have the same factory machinery up and running, teams of writers putting familiar characters through permutations - but that doesn't explain the widening quality gap that makes movie humor look like a genetic defective.

American Critic

Jennifer Grant

I'm sure there was some part of his soul was intrinsically happy, but he probably had to go through some permutations to really get that to blossom. I'm sure Dad had his challenges, but I think that joy was there from the beginning and he had to find a way to make his life support that and express that.

American Actress

Evelyn Lauder

Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.

Austrian Businessman

When people go to the theater, people say they want something different, but what they really want is something the same with slight permutations. To really not know what is going to happen next is a hard thing.

Leslie Cockburn

When you have a situation that's destructive, when there's tremendous inhumanity everywhere, you see how humanity survives in all of its different permutations.

American Writer

Joshua Jackson

I was briefly in the original version of 'Tombstone,' but I didn't make the final cut because that movie went through a couple of different permutations.

American Actor

Vivek Agnihotri

Making a film is not about one person. It involves a whole lot of permutations and combinations. Everything has to fall in the right place.

We've gone through many different permutations of coffee-making, from grinding our own beans to the regular drip to an iced coffee maker.

American Journalist

Nathan Englander

When you see 'editor' on a book, there are many permutations of what that title can mean.

Used in math to describe all possible orders of a set, important for probability and statistics.

Math Specific

Unlike combinations, every permutation has a unique sequence that matters a lot.

Fixed Order

Sequence is key; swapping elements changes the permutation, producing a different arrangement.

Not Interchangeable

Used outside of mathematics to describe different variations or possibilities of something.

Beyond Math

Highlights creativity in presenting diverse ways something can be interpreted or arranged.

Creative Options

Depending on the context, a permutation can suggest a minor change or a complete overhaul.

 And what ends up happening is that set the tone for how we think about geometry in nature. So let me just show you... kind of what that looks like as I think it's always important. Here... when you see an ice piece of crystal here, you are seeing essentially permutation of form. You are seeing a geometry at work, a very beautiful precise sense of nature.
