Famous quotes containing the words arab and/or republic:

    “I saw the Arab map.
    It resembled a mare shuffling on,
    dragging its history like saddlebags,
    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
    —Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

    “No republic is more real than that of letters, and I am the last in principles, as I am the least in pretensions to any dictatorship in it.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
