Famous quotes containing the words edge and/or numbers:
“Imprudence relies on luck, prudence on method. That gives prudence less edge than it expects.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
