990.0. "JFK quote" by CTHQ1::COADY () Mon Jan 20 1992 19:46

    
    
    Can anyone give me the exact quote by JFK, which is from another
    Irishman - ( Shaw or Wilde maybe ? ).
    
    It was something like 
    
    "Some men see things that are and ask WHY.  I see things that never
    were and ask WHY NOT"
    
    I need the exact wording please.
