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)
