Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

    A point has been reached where the peoples of the Americas must take cognizance of growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of increasing armaments, of shortening tempers—a situation which has in it many of the elements that lead to the tragedy of general war.... Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    But for us the road
    unfurls itself, we count the
    words in our pockets, we wonder
    how it will be without them, we don’t
    stop walking, we know
    there is far to go....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
