Bleached Flour

Famous quotes containing the words bleached and/or flour:

“Others built beautifully and well,
but fell
to lie
like a bleached hull;
other sea-cities have faltered
and striven with the tide.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on 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 (1825–1895)
