Beat Frequency

Famous quotes containing the words beat and/or frequency:

“That most ingenious paradox!
We’ve quips and quibbles heard in flocks,
But none to beat that paradox!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

“The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
