Axiomatic Set

Famous quotes containing the words axiomatic and/or set:

    It is ... axiomatic that we should all think of ourselves as being more sensitive than other people because, when we are insensitive in our dealings with others, we cannot be aware of it at the time: conscious insensitivity is a self-contradiction.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn’t have the end without them.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
