Numbers

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:

    Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
    Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
    My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
    Her classics registered a little flat!
    I rose, and venomously spat.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    The land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
    —Bible: Hebrew Numbers 35:33.

    I’m not even thinking straight any more. Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.
    Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
