Bearing Characteristic Number

Famous quotes containing the words bearing and/or number:

    As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
    Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
    To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
    Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
    And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
    The final relation, the marriage of the rest.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    After a certain number of years our faces become our biographies. We get to be responsible for our faces.
    Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
