Long Chain Fatty

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or chain:

    She might, so noble from head
    To great shapely knees
    The long flowing line,
    Have walked to the altar
    Through the holy images
    At Pallas Athena’s side....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)
