Reach Number

Famous quotes containing the words reach and/or number:

“The second [of Zeno’s arguments about motion] is the one called “Achilles.” This is to the effect that the slowest as it runs will never be caught by the quickest. For the pursuer must first reach the point from which the pursued departed, so that the slower must always be some distance in front.”
—Zeno Of Elea (c. 490–430 B.C.)

“There are crimes which become innocent and even glorious through their splendor, number and excess.”
