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.
