Limited Subtraction Function

Famous quotes containing the words limited and/or function:

    There is, it seems to us,
    At best, only a limited value
    In the knowledge derived from experience....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Think of the tools in a tool-box: there is a hammer, pliers, a saw, a screwdriver, a rule, a glue-pot, nails and screws.—The function of words are as diverse as the functions of these objects.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
