Significant Bit Set

Famous quotes containing the words significant, bit and/or set:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity.

World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“A Bird came down the Walk—
He did not know I saw—
He bit an Angleworm in halves”

“There is one thing that matters—to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
