Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    “Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
    —Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)

    ““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
    —Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
