I assume I don't need an introduction.
Anne Rice

All of the people who are using their BlackBerries or their iPhones, Facebook, all of the people who are sitting in cafes and hotels rooms doing their work, they're all using wireless technology, and we shouldn't assume that the only way of the future is high speed cable.
Tony Abbott
Image
I always assume that a good book is more intelligent than its author. It can say things that the writer is not aware of.
Umberto Eco
Image
I believe that Israel must concede to the Palestinian right of return in principle. Israel must, first of all, assume its responsibility for what happened in 1948, as far as we are to blame - and we are to blame for a great part of it, if not for all - and we must recognize in principle the right of refugees to return.
Uri Avnery
Image
Since sane people rarely surround themselves with furnishings which they personally find repellent, it is logical to assume that it will generate a bit of goodwill to enthuse about those they have.
Anne Morice
Image
Always get rid of theory private object in this way: assume that it constantly changes, but that you do not notice the change because your memory constantly deceives you.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Image
It is a grave error to assume that ice cream consumption requires hot weather.
Anne Fadiman
Image
Sometimes magazines will take artist's creative choices too literally they assume that I actually live the way I do in music videos. For example: the whole Dirty thing. Do you think I wear chaps to the grocery store?
Christina Aguilera
Image
I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I'm going to live long enough to live in an America that will assume universal health care is a basic right. That will be amusing and terrific.
Anna Quindlen
Image
I assume these structures are made for siting?
Anna Banks
Image
If we hope and even assume that the social question will be answered through communism, and not in this or that country but in the world, any thought of centralization must be a monstrosity.
Johann Most
Image
Nobody can assume that, to a writer, everything is off-limits.
Ann Beattie
Image
It is a mistake to assume that government must necessarily last forever. The institution marks a certain stage of civilization-is natural to a particular phase of human development. It is not essential, but incidental. As amongst the Bushmen we find a state antecedent to government, so may there be one in which it shall have become extinct.
Herbert Spencer
Image
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
Victoria Legrand
Image
But at the same time you can't assume that making a difference 20 years ago is going to allow you to sort of live on the laurels of those victories for the rest of your life
Angela Davis
Image
We cannot assume that people by virtue of the fact that they are black are going to associate themselves with progressive political struggles. We need to divest ourselves the kinds of strategies that assume that black unity black political unity is possible.
Angela Davis
Image
When a plan or strategy fails, people are tempted to assume it was the wrong vision. Plans and strategies can always be changed and improved. But vision doesn't change. Visions are simply refined with time.
Andy Stanley
Image
The media assume that if your life or liberty is on the line and you have a lot of money, you automatically get the best.
Vincent Bugliosi
Image
There will instead be a number of fake opposition figures, one of whom is now probably going to be Kseniya Sobchak, which is an absurd idea. I assume she's been chosen because just even the idea of her standing for liberals so makes fun of the idea of liberals and of liberal democracy.
Anne Applebaum
Image
I'm always surprised on my social accounts that people assume that because you have a job in television you don't have a political opinion, or don't have a family, or don't have an interest in the rest of the country. It's just absolutely shocking to me how closed minded some people are.
Andrew Zimmern
Image
The years of the Great Depression were a superb time for economists because people not knowing what could be done or what should be done would always assume that maybe an economist had the answer. If you were just a lawyer in Washington, you were nobody. But if you were an economist, you might have the answer.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
Dating is tricky these days. Everyone plays by different dating rules, so don't assume anything.
Andrew W.K.
Image
With children who have never said a word, parents tend to assume, for better or for worse, that there isn't any language there.
