Finite Fields

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or fields:

    Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.
    Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)

    If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
    —W.C. Fields (1879–1946)
