Assume

Famous quotes containing the word assume:

    One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    With a few exceptions, the critics of children’s books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.
    Katharine S. White (1892–1977)

    I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
    And what I assume you shall assume,
    For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
