Positive Real Number

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

    I have always had something to live besides a personal life. And I suspected very early that to live merely in an experience of, in an expression of, in a positive delight in the human cliches could be no business of mine.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    nor till the poets among us can be “literalists of the imagination”Mabove insolence and triviality and can present
    for inspection, “imaginary gardens with real toads in them,” shall we have
    it.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    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)
