Partially Ordered Sets

Famous quotes containing the words partially, ordered and/or sets:

    Before the land rose out of the ocean, and became dry land, chaos reigned; and between high and low water mark, where she is partially disrobed and rising, a sort of chaos reigns still, which only anomalous creatures can inhabit.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I am aware that I have been on many a man’s premises, and might have been legally ordered off, but I am not aware that I have been in many men’s houses.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Music sets up ladders,
    it makes us invisible,
    it sets us apart,
    it lets us escape;
    but from the visible
    there is no escape.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
