Day Berkeley County

Famous quotes containing the words day, berkeley and/or county:

    Once it was, the repose of night,
    Was a place, strong place, in which to sleep.
    It is shaken now. It will burst into flames,
    Either now or tomorrow or the day after that.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    If we admit a thing so extraordinary as the creation of this world, it should seem that we admit something strange, and odd, and new to human apprehension, beyond any other miracle whatsoever.
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    It would astonish if not amuse, the older citizens of your County who twelve years ago knew me a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flat boat—at ten dollars per month to learn that I have been put down here as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
