“I'm the reflection of perfection, the number one selection.”

“Of the prisoners captured a selection was made from the slaves and other spoils, “in order to detach the usual one-fifth share of the State. The number of the selected slaves came to about 20,000. The rest were distributed among the troops.””

“This is the universe! And I'm placing stones one by one on that. Like I'm increasing the number of stars one by one… I'm making the universe. It's like I'm a God. I'm going to become a God! On this Go Board.”

“There is another form of selection best illustrated by the automatic telephone exchange. You dial a number and the machine selects and connects just one of a million possible stations. It does not run over them all. It pays attention only to a class given by a first digit, and so on; and thus proceeds rapidly and almost unerringly to the selected station.”

“I'm a reflection of the community. ”

“I'm not perfect… But I'm enough.”

“The bodies of which the world is composed are solids, and therefore have three dimensions. Now, three is the most perfect number,—it is the first of numbers, for of one we do not speak as a number, of two we say both, but three is the first number of which we say all.”

“It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.”

“I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.”

“Those numbers ay not sound like a bid deal until one reflects that average global temperatures were "only" 5 degrees cooler at the height of the last Ice Age.”
