Famous quotes containing the words reduce, capital and/or gains:

“So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)

“That monstrous tuberosity of civilised life, the capital of England.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“One who falls in a pit, gains in wit.”
—Chinese proverb.
