Chance Operations

Famous quotes containing the words chance and/or operations:

    “I am a parcel of vain strivings tied
    By a chance bond together,
    Dangling this way and that, their links
    Were made so loose and wide,
    Methinks,
    For milder weather.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
