Open Sets

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or sets:

    As to what we call the masses, and common men;Mthere are no common men. All men are at last of a size; and true art is only possible, on the conviction that every talent has its apotheosis somewhere. Fair play, and an open field, and freshest laurels to all who have won them!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I think middle-age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets in at about fifty.
    —W.R. (William Ralph)
