Famous quotes containing the words number and/or plate:

    “God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed—that is the meaning of evolution.”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “Our press is certainly bankrupt in the “thrill of awe”Motherwise reverence: reverence for nickel plate and brummagem. Let us sincerely hope that this fact will remain a fact forever; for to my mind a discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
