Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“I’m not even thinking straight any more. Numbers buzz in my head like wasps.”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
