Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:
“Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“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)
