Extremely Large Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words extremely, large and/or numbers:

    Is suffering so very serious? I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime—I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful. I agree that it’s hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It’s no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    Mr. Goodman’s large soft pinkish face was, and is, remarkably like a cow’s udder.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
    —Bible: Hebrew Numbers 35:33.
