Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why?

—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

“I came as census-taker to the waste
To count the people in it and found none,
None in the hundred miles, none in the house....”
