Famous quotes containing the word question:
“When Abraham Lincoln penned the immortal emancipation proclamation he did not stop to inquire whether every man and every woman in Southern slavery did or did not want to be free. Whether women do or do not wish to vote does not affect the question of their right to do so.”
—Mary E. Haggart, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“The question now is: Can we understand our stupidity? This is a test of intellect, not of character.”
—John King Fairbank (1907–1991)
“Out
stove, out lamp, let
night cut the question with profound
unanswer, sustained
echo of our unknowing.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
