Famous quotes containing the word population:

    “We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”
    —Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)

    “[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)
