Famous quotes containing the words homogeneous, application and/or theorem:
“If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green....

—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
