Famous quotes containing the word consent:
“It is but too easy to establish another durable and harmonious routine. Immediately all parts of nature consent to it. Only make something to take the place of something, and men will behave as if it was the very thing they wanted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
