Direct Sums

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or sums:

“Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“At Timon’s villalet us pass a day,
Where all cry out,What sums are thrown away!’”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
