Irb Sevens World

Famous quotes containing the words sevens and/or world:

    See,
    how they trace
    across the very-marble
    of this place,
    bright sevens and printed fours,
    elevens and careful eights....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied ... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
