Qualitative Properties

Famous quotes containing the words qualitative and/or properties:

    Ned Block (b. 1942)

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
