Sometimes he thought that they had ended up in that sequence by mistake, that they'd been trapped, like pearls strung on a necklace. Other times he suspected that they too would have preferred to be like all others, just ordinary numbers, but for some reason they couldn't do it.

For these were numbers that were not really numbers at all but letters like in words. He shivered at the possibilities of such untold magic.”
Davis Grubb, The Night of the Hunter“What it takes is the passion to lead and the commitment to that passion through a lifetime. A great number isn’t bad though, but doesn’t take numbers to change the world.”
