Famous quotes containing the word numerous:
“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized. Poems beginning “When” are much more numerous than those beginning “Where” of “If.” As the meter is running, the recurrent message tapped out by the passing of measured time is mortality.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
“The most fatal disease of friendship is gradual decay, or dislike hourly increased by causes too slender for complaint, and too numerous for removal.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
