Random Walks

Famous quotes containing the words random and/or walks:

    “And catch the gleaming of a random light,
    That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.”
    —Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

    “I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
