Strictly Decreasing

Famous quotes containing the words strictly and/or decreasing:

    The monkeys winked too much and were afraid of snakes. The zebras,
    supreme in their abnormality; the elephants with their fog-colored skin
    and strictly practical appendages
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white
    beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your
    voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit
    single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity? and
    will you yet call yourself young?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
