Positive Real Number

Famous quotes containing the words positive, real and/or number:

    Men just don’t “get” that the reason to become involved is for ourselves. Doing more with our children won’t simply make women happier or keep them “off our backs,” but will create a deeper, more positive connection with the kids.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    stop the darkness and its amputations
    and find the real McCoy
    in the private holiness
    of my hands.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
