Wear Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words wear and/or numbers:

“My objects dream and wear new costumes,

and the sea that bangs in my throat.”

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes....
