Put Off

Famous quotes containing the word put:

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon 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 (1825–95)

    To put one brick upon another,
    Add a third, and then a fourth,
    Leaves no time to wonder whether
    What you do has any worth.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
