Famous quotes containing the words mathematical, formulation, quantum and/or mechanics:

    “What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.”
    —Lindsay Anderson (b. 1923)

    “A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.”
    —Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)

    “It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
