General Envelope Theorem

Famous quotes containing the words general, envelope and/or theorem:

    We raised a simple prayer
    Before we left the spot,
    That in the general mowing
    That place might be forgot;

    Obtain such grace of hours
    That none should mow the grass there
    While so confused with flowers.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
