Imaginary Parts

Famous quotes containing the words imaginary and/or parts:

    Its imaginary value will increase with the years, and if he [his grandson-in-law] lives to my age, or another half century, he may see it carried in the procession of our nation’s birthday, as the relics of the saints are in those of the church.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors
    that makes the now separate parts useless,
    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
