Famous quotes containing the word assume:
“A man assumes that a woman’s refusal is just part of a game. Or, at any rate, a lot of men assume that. When a man says no, it’s no. When a woman says no, it’s yes, or at least maybe. There is even a joke to that effect. And little by little, women begin to believe in this view of themselves.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“Always assume that a lucky hit will not be repeated.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I shall assume that your silence gives consent.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
