Fixed Point Theorem

Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or theorem:

    “If they be two, they are two so
    As stiff twin compasses are two;

    To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “The end of all stories, even if the writer forebears to mention it, is death, which is where time stops short. Sheherezade knew this, which is why she kept on spinning another story out of the bowels of the last one, never coming to a point where she could say: “This is the end.” Because it would have been.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
