Famous quotes containing the words counting and/or rod:

    What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.
    Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)

    Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 22:15.
