Special Variables

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or variables:

    There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
    now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is
    all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The variables are surprisingly few.... One can whip or be whipped; one can eat excrement or quaff urine; mouth and private part can be meet in this or that commerce. After which there is the gray of morning and the sour knowledge that things have remained fairly generally the same since man first met goat and woman.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
