Total Number

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or number:

    For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
