Finite Volume

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or volume:

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

“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
