Famous quotes containing the words place and/or votes:
“Anyone, however, who has had dealings with dates knows that they are worse than elusive, they are perverse. Events do not happen at the right time, nor in their proper sequence. That sense of harmony with place and season which is so stong in the historianif he be a readable historianis lamentably lacking in history, which takes no pains to verify his most convincing statements.”
—Agnes Repplier (18581950)
“I must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votes as they go in. Now, the first time I vote Ill see if the womans vote looks any different from the restif it makes any stir or commotion. If it dont inside, it need not outside.”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 17971883)
