Stuff

Famous quotes containing the word stuff:

    Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
    For fellows whom it hurts to think.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on 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 (1825–1895)

    From far, from eve and morning
    And yon twelve-winded sky,
    The stuff of life to knit me
    Blew hither: here am I.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
