Real Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or numbers:

    nor till the poets among us can be
    literalists of
    the imagination—above
    insolence and triviality and can present

    for inspection, ‘imaginary gardens with real toads in them’,
    shall we have
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they’re attached to dollar signs—unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendents who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.
    Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
