Reaching Number

Famous quotes containing the words reaching and/or number:

    Not only does every animal live at the expense of some other animal or plant, but the very plants are at war.... The individuals of a species are like the crew of a foundered ship, and none but good swimmers have a chance of reaching the land.

    Black lady,
    what will I do
    without your two flowers?
    I have inhabited you, number by number.
    I have pushed you in and out like a needle.
