Increasing

Famous quotes containing the word increasing:

    I wonder whether mankind could not get along without all these names, which keep increasing every day, and hour, and moment; till at the last the very air will be full of them; and even in a great plain, men will be breathing each other’s breath, owing to the vast multitude of words they use, that consume all the air, just as lamp-burners do gas.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    ... there was already too much ignorance in government. I could see no good in increasing the illiterate, uneducated vote.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    Everywhere I go I see increasing evidence of people swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making.
    James Anderton (b. 1932)
