Interest/formulae

Famous quotes containing the words interest and/or formulae:

“Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one’s stomach the separation from terra ... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known ... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“I don’t believe in providence and fate, as a technologist I am used to reckoning with the formulae of probability.”
