Extra Christmas Number

Famous quotes containing the words extra, christmas and/or number:

    Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    The seventh day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Seven swans a-swimming.
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 34–36)

    I wonder love can have already set
    In dreams, when we’ve not met
    More times than I can number on one hand.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
