Mill Lane

Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or lane:

    Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The question is whether personal freedom is worth the terrible effort, the never-lifted burden and risks of self-reliance.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
