Simple Random Sampling

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or random:

    “And would you be a poet
    Before you’ve been to school?
    Ah, well! I hardly thought you
    So absolute a fool.
    First learn to be spasmodic—
    A very simple rule.
    For first you write a sentence,
    And then you chop it small;
    Then mix the bits, and sort them out
    Just as they chance to fall:
    The order of the phrases makes
    No difference at all.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Novels as dull as dishwater, with the grease of random sentiments floating on top.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
