Granted

Famous quotes containing the word granted:

    Maturity: among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    No, it wasn’t an accident, I didn’t say that. It was carefully planned, down to the tiniest mechanical and emotional detail. But it was a mistake. It was a beaut. In the end, somehow granted the time for examination, we shall find that our so-called civilization was gloriously destroyed by a handful of vacuum tubes and transistors. Probably faulty.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)
