Famous quotes containing the words stamp and/or mill:
“I look around me and nowhere do I see a stamp of disapproval with which nature marked a woman’s candid brow.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on 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 (1825–1895)
