Time Number

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or number:

“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

“The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.”
