Water Mill

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or mill:

    Over the water come
    Children from homes and children’s parks
    Who speak on a finger and thumb,
    And the masked, headless boy.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    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)
