Minute Extract

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or extract:

    “Artists the minute they set up as artists,
    Before, that is, they are themselves accepted,
    And boys the minute they get out of college.
    I can’t help thinking those are tests to go by.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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)
