Higher Order Function

Famous quotes containing the words higher, order and/or function:

    “We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i’ the sun
    And bleat the one at th’ other. What we changed
    Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
    The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
    That any did. Had we pursued that life,
    And our weak spirits ne’er been higher reared
    With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
    Boldly “Not guilty,” the imposition cleared
    Hereditary ours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Man needs to know but little more than a lobster in order to catch him in his traps.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The function of the actor is to make the audience imagine for the moment that real things are happening to real people.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
