Mill Passed

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or passed:

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    they were placed in a box
    and painted identically blue
    and thus passed their days
    living happily ever after
    a kind of coffin,
    a kind of blue funk.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
