Famous quotes containing the word supposed:

“The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“The thing that is most interesting about government servants is that they believe what they are supposed to believe, they really do believe what they are supposed to believe.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

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