Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or logic:

    It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    seizing the swift logic of a woman,
    Curse God and die.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
