As a child I was attracted to Tarzan and everything that had to do with jungles. It seemed to me -- and this is in retrospect -- that there was something primal, something right about it. Tarzan represented a pure being, somehow before the fall.
Experience is retrospect knowledge.
The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time.
Perspective will come in retrospect.
The question is where are business ethics and morality if one of the parties wants to dishonor a binding contract, just because in retrospect it realizes it could perhaps have got a better price!
My first job was in a nursing home - a terrible place in retrospect. It was in an old house, and the residents were so lonely. People rarely visited them. I only stayed there a couple of months, but it made a strong impression on me.
We can see in retrospect that criminalizing the consumption of alcohol proves not to be the solution to the very real problem of drunkenness. So to what I want to say is the very real problem of the human susceptibility to addiction isn't best dealt with by building prisons and throwing people into jails.
Most people muddled through events and only in retrospect realized their significance.
Well, she managed to - Barbara was capable of doing practically anything if she set her mind to it. In retrospect, I'm not surprised that Barbara managed to get collect calls through.
It was not until some weeks later that I realized there is no need to restrict oneself to 2 by 2 matrices. One could go on to 4 by 4 matrices, and the problem is then easily soluable. In retrospect, it seems strange that one can be so much held up over such an elementary point. The resulting wave equation for the electron turned out to be very successful. It led to correct values for the spin and the magnetic moment. This was quite unexpected. The work all followed from a study of pretty mathematics, without any thought being given to these physical properties of the electron.
In retrospect, I think it's a plus, because now we've been able to go back and spend extra time on each of those episodes and make them better.
In retrospect, the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history, where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.
When I first heard about Y Combinator, it was one of those ideas that just seemed forehead-slappingly obvious. Good ideas often do, in retrospect.
Adolescence is a kind of emotional seasickness. Both are funny, but only in retrospect.
Even a saint may take pleasure, in retrospect, in having been once desired
Righteousness is easy in retrospect.
Looking back in retrospect, there were some great moments working with some great people,. . . I don't know quite how to put it into words. I don't look at it quite the same way other people do.
In retrospect, each of the steps toward this abyss seemed irrevocable, and yet they had all been so small!
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
Do we always grind through the present, doomed to throw a gold haze of fond retrospect over the past?
