Twelve

Famous quotes containing the word twelve:

    Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o’clock is a scoundrel.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    When I was twelve years old I thought up an odd trinity: namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Devil. My inference was that God, in contemplating himself, created the second person of the godhead; but that, in order to be able to contemplate himself, he had to contemplate, and thus to create, his opposite.—With this I began to do philosophy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    You always read about it:
    the plumber with twelve children
    who wins the Irish Sweepstakes.
    From toilets to riches.
    That story.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
