Analysis
A resolution of anything, whether an object of the senses or of the intellect, into its constituent or original elements; an examination of the component parts of a subject, each separately, as the words which compose a sentence, the tones of a tune, or the simple propositions which enter into an argument. It is opposed to synthesis.
The separation of a compound substance, by chemical processes, into its constituents, with a view to ascertain either (a) what elements it contains, or (b) how much of each element is present. The former is called qualitative, and the latter quantitative analysis.
The tracing of things to their source, and the resolving of knowledge into its original principles.
The resolving of problems by reducing the conditions that are in them to equations.
A syllabus, or table of the principal heads of a discourse, disposed in their natural order.
A brief, methodical illustration of the principles of a science. In this sense it is nearly synonymous with synopsis.
The process of ascertaining the name of a species, or its place in a system of classification, by means of an analytical table or key.

Analysis Quotations
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.
Sigmund Freud
A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.
Karl Marx
Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus
Analysis brings no curative powers in its train; it merely makes us conscious of the existence of an evil, which, oddly enough, is consciousness.
Henry Miller
Central banks don't have divine wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis.
Mary Kay Ash
In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.
Stephen Covey
Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more.
Henri Frederic Amiel
