Famous quotes containing the word august:

    “If August passes
    flowerless,
    and the frosts come,
    will I have learned to rejoice enough
    in the sober wonder of
    green healthy leaves?”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it’s possible.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
