Variable Quotations To be is to be the value of a variable. Willard Van Orman Quine There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress. Joseph Addison Children between the ages of five to ten years are even more variable. They are going to vary from very high functioning, capable of doing normal school work, to nonverbal who have all kinds of neurological problems. Temple Grandin Rather, for all objects and experiences, there is a quantity that has optimum value. Above that quantity, the variable becomes toxic. To fall below that value is to be deprived. Gregory Bateson If we pursue this matter further, we shall be told that the stable object is unchanging under the impact or stress of some particular external or internal variable or, perhaps, that it resists the passage of time. Gregory Bateson
