Famous quotes containing the words split, group, odd and/or dimension:
“William James once said: “Progress is a terrible thing.” It is more than that: it is also a highly ambiguous notion. For who knows but that a little further on the way a bridge may not have collapsed or a crevice split the earth?”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“God cannot be seen: he is too bright for sight; nor grasped: he is too pure for touch; nor measured: for he is beyond all sense, infinite, measureless, his dimension known to himself alone.”
—Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)
