Reduce

Famous quotes containing the word reduce:

    Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.

    The more we reduce ourselves to machines in the lower things, the more force we shall set free to use in the higher.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    I’ve tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I’m afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
