Alexander Dub%c4%8dek/prague Spring

Famous quotes containing the words alexander and/or spring:

    I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    Do you mistake me?
    I am speaking of living,
    of moving from one moment into
    the next, and into the
    one after, breathing
    death in the spring air....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
