Finite Solvable

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or solvable:

“Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The problems of the world, AIDS, cancer, nuclear war, pollution, are, finally, no more solvable than the problem of a tree which has borne fruit: the apples are overripe and they are falling—what can be done?... Nothing can be done, and nothing needs to be done. Something is being done—the organism is preparing to rest.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
