Happy Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words happy and/or numbers:

    If strange men come from the house
    To lead her away do not say
    That she is happy being crazy;
    Lead gently astray;
    Let her finish her dance,
    Let her finish her dance.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
