Squared Error

Famous quotes containing the words squared and/or error:

    Dreams are toys.
    Yet for this once, yea, superstitiously,
    I will be squared by this.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have often been reproached with the aridity of my genius; a deficiency of imagination has been imputed to me as a crime; and the Pyrrhonism of my opinions has at all times rendered me notorious. Indeed, a strong relish for physical philosophy has, I fear, tinctured my mind with a very common error of this age—I mean the habit of referring occurrences, even the least susceptible of such reference, to the principles of that science.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
