Positive Real Number

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

    I am positive I have a soul; nor can all the books with which materialists have pester’d the world ever convince me of the contrary.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.
    Richard Louv (20th century)
