Average Order

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or order:

“But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus. By certain valuations, and averages, of our own striking, we come upon some sort of average terrestrial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible rights. It is simple payment of our wages, of our deserts; requires neither thanks nor complaint.... Foolish soul! What act of legislature was there that thou shouldst be happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
