Famous quotes containing the words free and/or algebra:

    “When we our betters see bearing our woes,
    We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
    Who alone suffers, suffers most i’ the mind,
    Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
    But then the mind much sufferance doth o’er skip,
    When grief hath mates, and bearing fellowship.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
