Adopted

Famous quotes containing the word adopted:

“There was never a revolution to equal it, and never a city more glorious than Petrograd, and for all that period of my life I lived another and braved the ice of winter and the summer flies in Vyborg while across my adopted country of the past, winds of the revolution blew their flame, and all of us suffered hunger while we drank at the wine of equality.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“Cold and hunger seem more friendly to my nature than those methods which men have adopted and advise to ward them off.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
