Famous quotes containing the words count and/or variables:

    “If only Centuries, delayed,
    I’d count them on my Hand,”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “The variables are surprisingly few.... One can whip or be whipped; one can eat excrement or quaff urine; mouth and private part can be meet in this or that commerce. After which there is the gray of morning and the sour knowledge that things have remained fairly generally the same since man first met goat and woman.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
