Partially Ordered Sets

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

    He who gives himself entirely to his fellow-men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Your mind was wrought in cosmic solitude,
    Through which careered an undulous pageantry
    Of fiends and suns, darkness and boiling sea,
    All held in ordered sway by beauty’s mood.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)
