Famous quotes containing the words kernel, virtual, address and/or space:

    After night’s thunder far away had rolled
    The fiery day had a kernel sweet of cold
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

    Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
    Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    In the United States there is more space where nobody is is than where anybody is.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
