Famous quotes containing the words fixed, arithmetic and/or hebrew:
“If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;

To move, but doth if th other do.”

“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (18481925)
“It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 21:9.
