Famous quotes containing the words request and/or show:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“I can still stand on life’s narrowest footing: but who would I be were I to show you this art. Would you like to see a ropedancer?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
