Debate Quotes

Democrats are making it clear that they intend to use our economic crisis to rush through their longtime liberal goals without public scrutiny or debate... This will increase burdens on taxpayers and take a significant step toward socialized medicine Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

Is there any point in public debate in a society where hardly anyone has been taught how to think, while millions have been taught what to think? Picture Quote #1

Our hope is we move beyond denial and into debate... If we cleaned up the air, would it really be bad for us? Picture Quote #1

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing Picture Quote #1

Indeed, this is an important characteristic of the globalization debate: the tendency toward glorifying all things indigenous even when they deserve to be left in the past Picture Quote #1

I have always felt sympathy towards the biologists who accept to debate creationists. Now I also understand them better; one can fight opinions, not articles of faith Picture Quote #1

What I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph. What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this. I don’t want people to look at them and appreciate the light and the palate of tones. I want them to look inside and see what the pictures represent, and the kind of people I photograph Picture Quote #1

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions Picture Quote #1

There is no debate whether we need a cultural policy or not. We do need it, but there are different ways of doing it Picture Quote #1

In our discussions here at the forum there was no trace of the futile debate about what is better, capitalism or socialism... We should seek a synthesis of ideas and values that have proven their viability Picture Quote #1

No more fatuous chimera has ever infested the brain than that you can control opinions by law or direct belief by statute, and no more pernicious sentiment ever tormented the heart than the barbarous desire to do so. The field of inquiry should remain open, and the right of debate must be regarded as a sacred right Picture Quote #1

Profound insights arise only in debate, with a possibility of counterargument, only when there is a possibility of expressing not only correct ideas but also dubious ideas Picture Quote #1

Conventional wisdom suggests the primary motivator for entrepreneurs is money or wealth creation and, in fact, much of the political debate tends to center around what kind of tax or regulatory policy changes will turn corporate suits into small business adventurers overnight Picture Quote #1

The more I watch politicians in action, it just makes me angry. I watch certain politicians get asked questions that need answers and may just prance around with a big laugh and smile on my face. Politicians have an arrogance. I just do not understand. I’ve seen more constructive debate since high school Picture Quote #1

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence Picture Quote #1

It is futile to debate on what is wrong and right with people whose remorse is not their punishment, nor is it reasonable to care about their promise and criticism Picture Quote #1

Well, to tell you truth, I have learned a long time ago that the trick when doing a debate, any kind of debate, is to just turn off the judgment switch in my head Picture Quote #1

A debate has one purpose, one purpose only, and that is to facilitate the exchange of ideas directly between two candidates, and that’s it Picture Quote #1

We must remember that democracy works when given time to develop, mature and deliver. People must have access to information for informed debate. Government institutions must treat citizens fairly, and with dignity, while responding to their needs Picture Quote #1

In every debate, whatever the format, whatever the questions, there is one and only one way to identify the winner: Who commands the room? Who drives the narrative? Who is in charge? Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I’d call myself a prodigy, but I was a big forensics competitor in high school, and then during college I spent some time working at speech and debate camps as a coach Picture Quote #1

When the world has 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 nuclear plants, can we call that a safe world? I think we need to properly have this debate Picture Quote #1
