Statement
The axiom can be expressed in various ways which are equivalent:
- "Weak" form: Every class of nonempty sets has a choice function.
- V \ { ∅ } has a choice function (where V is the class of all sets; see Von Neumann universe).
- There is a well-ordering of V.
- There is a bijection between V and the class of all ordinal numbers.

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“Eroticism has its own moral justification because it says that pleasure is enough for me; it is a statement of the individual’s sovereignty.”
—Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
“The most distinct and beautiful statement of any truth must take at last the mathematical form.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
