Famous quotes containing the words imaginary and/or numbers:

    “The imaginary audience for my life is growing small and silent.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “He bundles every forkful in its place,
    And tags and numbers it for future reference,
    So he can find and easily dislodge it
    In the unloading. Silas does that well.
    He takes it out in bunches like birds’ nests.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
