Born Citizen

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or citizen:

    “His awful skin
    stretched out by some tradesman
    is like my skin, here between my fingers,
    a kind of webbing, a kind of frog.
    Surely when first born my face was this tiny
    and before I was born surely I could fly.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Where the citizen uses a mere sliver or board, the pioneer uses the whole trunk of a tree.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
