Infinite Cardinal

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or cardinal:

    Mary McDonald, you giggled as you passed—
    I wondered what the boy with hairy chest
    Carved on the wall of his inexpensive spirit
    Memorial to your infinite unrest.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
