Finite Element

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or element:

    Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There is only one element that can break the Afrikaner, and that is the Afrikaner himself. It is when the Afrikaner, like a baboon shot in the stomach, pulls out his own intestines. We must guard against that.
    —P.W. (Pieter Willem)
