Famous quotes containing the words voting and/or counting:
“It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”
—Tom Stoppard (b. 1937)
“What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect, but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
