Extremely Large Numbers

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

    Unfortunately, moral beauty in art—like physical beauty in a person—is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    For my desert, I helped myself to a large slice of the Chesuncook woods, and took a hearty draught of its waters with all my senses.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    And when all bodies meet
    In Lethe to be drowned,
    Then only numbers sweet
    With endless life are crowned.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
