Match Figures

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or figures:

    Auden, MacNeice, Day Lewis, I have read them all,
    Hoping against hope to hear the authentic call . . .

    MYou cannot light a match on a crumbling wall.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.
