Negative Measurable Functions

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or functions:

    “Isolation in creative work is an onerous thing. Better to have negative criticism than nothing at all.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Mark the babe
    Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
    One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
    Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
    With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
    And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
    To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
    The outward functions of intelligent man.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
