Observed Variables

Famous quotes containing the words observed and/or variables:

“Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

“The variables are surprisingly few.... One can whip or be whipped; one can eat excrement or quaff urine; mouth and private part can be meet in this or that commerce. After which there is the gray of morning and the sour knowledge that things have remained fairly generally the same since man first met goat and woman.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
