Suicide Barrier

Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or barrier:

    Unless democracy is to commit suicide by consenting to its own destruction, it will have to find some formidable answer to those who come to it saying: “I demand from you in the name of your principles the rights which I shall deny to you later in the name of my principles.”
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    ... social evils are dangerously contagious. The fixed policy of persecution and injustice against a class of women who are weak and defenseless will be necessarily hurtful to the cause of all women.
    —Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
