Quotes About Sum

Amicable numbers are two different numbers related in the sense that when you add all their proper divisors together—not including the original number itself—the sums of their divisors equal each other. The numbers—esteemed by mathematicians—are considered amicable because the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110 which, when added together, reach 284. And the proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71 and 142, of which the sum is 220.

~ James Lee Burke
If I could sum up the problems at the outset, Wright tends to introduce false dichotomies, presenting an either – or when there is a both – and instead. To put it more sharply, even when he sees a both – and, he at times puts the emphasis in the wrong place, seeing the secondary as primary and the primary as secondary.

Nothing retains its form; new shapes from old Nature, the great inventor, ceaselessly Contrives.

Perhaps This may have moved to that and that to this, Yet still the sum of things remains the same. Nothing can last, I do believe, for long In the same image.
