Math and Literacy Quote

"Words and numbers are of equal value,
for, in the cloak of knowledge,
one is warp and the other woof.
It is no more important to count the sands
Then it is to name the stars."

The Phantom Toolbooth by Norton Juster

Quote

Literature Poem

Their tales are full of sorcerers and ogres
Because their lives are: the capricious infinite
That, like parents, no one has yet escaped
Except by luck or magic . . .
[W]olves, mice, bears, children, gods, and men
In slow perambulation up and down the shelves
Of the universe are seeking . . . who knows except themselves?
What some escape to, some escape: if we find Swann’s Way better than our own, and
trudge on at the back Of the north wind to – to –
somewhere east Of the sun, west of the moon, it
is because we live
By trading another’s sorrow for our own; another’s
Impossibilities, still unbelieved in, for our own . . .

 Randall Jarrell, The Complete Poems (New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1981).
