Famous quotes containing the word population:

    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    “The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”
    —Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)

    “We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
