Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or logic:

“On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
