Cumulative Total

Famous quotes containing the words cumulative and/or total:

“Knew her own mind. But the mind radically commonplace, only its inherited force, & cumulative sense of power, making it remarkable.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. It is not contrary to reason for me to choose my total ruin, to prevent the least uneasiness of an Indian, or person wholly unknown to me. It is as little contrary to reason to prefer even my own acknowledged lesser good to my greater, and have a more ardent affection for the former than the latter.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
