Small Population

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or population:

“Enthusiasm. A distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.”

“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
