Element Represented

Famous quotes containing the words element and/or represented:

“Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

“Magnitudes are algebraically represented by letter, men by men of letters, and so on.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
