Famous quotes containing the words billion and/or times:
“SING a song of ‘sistence
Pocket full of Eye
Two billion Turtle-doves
Mourning in a sty”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
