Special Variable

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or variable:

“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
