Dotted Green Line

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or line:

    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush—
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
