Local Error

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or error:

“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is the very error of the moon,
She comes more near the earth than she was wont,
And makes men mad.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
