Number Killed

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or killed:

    Can it be, that the Greek grammarians invented their dual number for the particular benefit of twins?
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The force of a death should be enormous but how can you know what kind of man you’ve killed or who was the braver and stronger if you have to peer through layers of glass that deliver the image but obscure the meaning of the act? War has a conscience or it’s ordinary murder.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)
