Hundreds

Famous quotes containing the word hundreds:

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“When we made love,
she issued hundreds of orders
and her cheeks bloomed with joy,
but at dawn,
this same woman hangs her head
and I’m not so sure she’s my lover.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Manhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
