Famous quotes containing the word counted:

“Bourgeois society is infected by monomania: the monomania of accounting. For it, the only thing that has value is what can be counted in francs and centimes. It never hesitates to sacrifice human life to figures which look well on paper, such as national budgets or industrial balance sheets.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“We reflected
If one by one we counted people out
For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long
To get so we had no one left to live with,
For to be social is to be forgiving.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
