Iterated Systems

Famous quotes containing the words iterated and/or systems:

“The customary cry,
‘Come buy, come buy,’
With its iterated jingle
Of sugar-bated words:”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
