Famous quotes containing the words care and/or unit:

    “But it’s nonsense to think he’d care enough.”
    “You mean you couldn’t understand his caring.
    Oh, but you see he hadn’t had enough....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
