Walsh Functions

Famous quotes containing the words walsh and/or functions:

    “That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;”
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)

    “Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
