Axiomatic Set

Famous quotes containing the words axiomatic and/or set:

    It is ... axiomatic that we should all think of ourselves as being more sensitive than other people because, when we are insensitive in our dealings with others, we cannot be aware of it at the time: conscious insensitivity is a self-contradiction.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    They roused him with muffins—they roused him with ice—
    They roused him with mustard and cress—
    They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
    They set him conundrums to guess.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
