Famous quotes containing the words total and/or weight:
“It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. It is not contrary to reason for me to choose my total ruin, to prevent the least uneasiness of an Indian, or person wholly unknown to me. It is as little contrary to reason to prefer even my own acknowledged lesser good to my greater, and have a more ardent affection for the former than the latter.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that wont hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandsons eyes.”
—Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
