Kakeya Needle Sets

Famous quotes containing the words needle and/or sets:

    And so the needle pricked her fingers;
    She fidgeted but didn’t go;
    A faint forgetfulness of reasons
    Kept her with him. Time is slow.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveller.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
