Famous quotes containing the words population and/or management:

    “A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
    —Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    “The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
