Famous quotes containing the words serial and/or numbers:

    An autobiography is an obituary in serial form with the last instalment missing.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
