Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or vote:
“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (18751947)
“I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them You are supreme: exercise your power. They say, Thats right: tell us what to do; and I tell them. I say Exercise your vote intelligently by voting for me. And they do. Thats democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
