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 (1901–1985)

    Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.
    Thomas Bowdler (1754–1825)
