Supposed

Famous quotes containing the word supposed:

“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Ladies and gentlemen are supposed to be looked after by others, like children and pets.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I’m not supposed to be the one that’s caught with his pants down.”
—Robert Towne (b. 1936)
