Lowest Number

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or number:

“We are put there beside the three thieves
for the lowest of us all
deserve to smile in eternity
like a watermelon.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
