Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or number:
“The sky is silent too,
Hard as granite and as fixed as fate.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know. You pull one book from the shelf, which carries a hint or a reference that sends you posthaste to another book, and that to successive others. It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
