Cumulative Total

Famous quotes containing the words cumulative and/or total:

    Knew her own mind. But the mind radically commonplace, only its inherited force, & cumulative sense of power, making it remarkable.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.
    J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
