Number Killed

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or killed:

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)

    Planted deeper than roots,
    This chiselled, flung-up faith
    Runs and leaps against the sky,
    A prayer killed into stone....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
