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)
“Knowledge, like matter, [my father] would affirm, was divisible in infinitum;Mthat the grains and scruples were as much a part of it, as the gravitation of the whole world.—In a word, he would say, error was error,—no matter where it fell,—whether in a fraction,—or a pound,—’twas alike fatal to truth.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
