Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:
“Uncle Bens brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogans face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
Theres naught to kill but the animated dead;”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and Ill be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and youll have to say, Stop here until your mom comes here. Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
