Greatest Number

Famous quotes containing the words greatest and/or number:

    Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Black lady,
    what will I do
    without your two flowers?
    I have inhabited you, number by number.
    I have pushed you in and out like a needle.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
