Notable quotes

“The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. [on followup] No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history.”
— Press conference (September 15, 1988), paraphrased in Esquire (August 1992), The New Yorker (October 10, 1988), p. 102
“In George Bush you get experience, and with me you get the future.”
— Speech in Illinois (October 1988), quoted in Cathleen Decker (October 19, 1988), "Quayle, in Illinois, Says He's `the Future'" Los Angeles Times
“Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.”
— Press comment in Hawaii (April 25, 1989)
“Mars is essentially in the same orbit. ... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.”
— Press comment on Mars exploration (August 11, 1989), televised on CNN, and referenced in "A Quayle Vision of Mars" in The Washington Post (September 1, 1989)
“If we do not succeed, then we run the risk of failure.”
— Attributed to a speech in Phoenix, Arizona to the Phoenix Republican Forum (23 March 1990), quoted in Esquire (August 1992)
“It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.”
— If Quayle said this, he would only be repeating a phrase that first appeared in print approximately 100 years earlier. See: Staff writer (13 May 1889) "The Great State of Chicago," Chicago Daily Tribune; Staff writer (13 April 1895) "The State of Chicago" New York Times; Norman Mailer (1968) Miami and the Siege of Chicago
