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)

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