Famous quotes containing the word stuff:
“This is just a job like any other job. I do it the best I can. It’s never enough but I do it. When I go home, I don’t take this stuff with me, I leave it outside. But you, the way you carry it around inside, you must like it! Maybe you think that makes you a good cop. The way you’re going you won’t be good to anybody! Not even yourself! Somebody had to tell you. To get anything out of this life, you got to put something in it. From the heart!”
—A.I. (Albert Isaac)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“What stuff is the man made of who is not coexistent in our thought with the purest and sublimest truth?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
