Unterlassung / Omission Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Unterlassung / Omission:

The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil. Plutarch

Lies can be verbal or nonverbal, kindhearted or self-serving, devious or bald-faced; they can be lies of omission or lies of commission; they can be lies that undermine national security or lies that make a child feel better. And each type might involve a unique neural pathway.

Robin Marantz Henig

The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil.

Plutarch

Arlie Russell Hochschild

Chuck Schumer

The exclusion of natural capital from balance sheets was an understandable omission. There was so much of it, it didn't seem worth counting.

Paul Hawken

You have to be down here in the States to realize just how tightly controlled the corporate media is and how much they practise Soviet-style censorship through creative omission.
