Famous quotes containing the words flour and/or bluff:
“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)
“When people are taken out of their depths they lose their heads, no matter how charming a bluff they may put up.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
