Local Hidden Variable

Famous quotes containing the words local, hidden and/or variable:

    “Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “Nobody knows what the cause is,
    Though some pretend they do;
    It’s like some hidden assassin
    Waiting to strike at you.
    Childless women get it,
    And men when they retire;
    It’s as if there had to be some outlet
    For their foiled creative fire.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
