Famous quotes containing the words random and/or number:

    “Assemble, first, all casual bits and scraps
    That may shake down into a world perhaps;
    People this world, by chance created so,
    With random persons whom you do not know—”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
