Famous quotes containing the words chain and/or transfer:
“To avoid tripping on the chain of the past, you have to pick it up and wind it about you.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
