Famous quotes containing the words number and/or assumption:

    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    The principle of the brotherhood of man is ... narcissistic ... for the grounds for that love have always been the assumption that we ought to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
