Famous quotes containing the words counting and/or pines:
“What culture lacks is the taste for anonymous, innumerable germination. Culture is smitten with counting and measuring; it feels out of place and uncomfortable with the innumerable; its efforts tend, on the contrary, to limit the numbers in all domains; it tries to count on its fingers.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“My book should smell of pines and resound with the hum of insects.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
