Mailbox Number

Famous quotes containing the words mailbox and/or number:

“Rejoice with the day lily for it is born for a day to live by the mailbox and glorify the roadside”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
