Famous quotes containing the words numbers and/or expressions:
“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 (19011985)
“Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.”
—Thomas Bowdler (17541825)
