Definitions and quotes

Quantity
Quantity is a property that can exist as a multitude or magnitude. Quantities can be compared in terms of "more", "less", or "equal", or by assigning a numerical value in terms of a unit of measurement. Quantity is among the basic classes of things along with quality, substance, change, and relation. Some quantities are such by their inner nature (as number), while others are functioning as states (properties, dimensions, attributes) of things such as heavy and light, long and short, broad and narrow, small and great, or much and little.
Quality
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, ix. 9.
Quantity
Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section 12, Part 3
Quality
Come, give us a taste of your quality.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act II, scene 2, line 451.
An EU-funded project developed an innovative thermal process to turn waste tyres into energy and ceramic materials.
