Famous quotes containing the words prime, ideal and/or theorem:

    My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
    My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
    My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
    And all my good is but vain hope of gain:
    The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
    And now I live, and now my life is done.
    Chidiock Tichborne (1558–1586)

    The idealist is incorrigible: if he is expelled from his heaven, he makes an ideal out of hell.
