Distance Function

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or function:

“The distance between your place in the kitchen and Miss Vollard’s place in the dining room is considerable.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
