Famous quotes containing the word asks:
“I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“But blest is he, who, playing deep, yet haply asks not why,
Too busied with the crowded hour to fear to live or die.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
