Basic Arithmetic Operations

Famous quotes containing the words basic, arithmetic and/or operations:

    It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it ... and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied ... and it is all one.
    M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)

    O! O! another stroke! that makes the third.
    He stabs me to the heart against my wish.
    If that be so, thy state of health is poor;
    But thine arithmetic is quite correct.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.
    —Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
