I don't like controversy.

Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

I have never written out of a desire to be controversial.

I think you don't do work for controversy alone, and whenever you do new work which people don't understand and they say it is done to create controversy.

Of course there are always exceptions, but opinions are not to be feared.

I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one's temper and disturb one's quiet.

Controversy is always a beautiful thing. I love controversy and I try to fan it as much as I can without having my husband's head pop off!

Throughout my political life, I've not been a stranger to controversy.

Oh my God, I don't think you can say anyone looks forward to controversy.
