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)

    “But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    “the moderate Aristotelian city
    Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
    And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
    And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
