Extremely Large Numbers

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

    We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.
    Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)

    My soule her wings doth spread
    And heaven-ward flies,
    Th’ Almighty’s Mysteries to read
    In the large volumes of the skies.
    William Habington (1605–1654)

    Individually, museums are fine institutions, dedicated to the high values of preservation, education and truth; collectively, their growth in numbers points to the imaginative death of this country.
    Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
