Drawing State

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or state:

    For later in the vast gloom of cities, only there you learn
    How the ideas were good only because they had to die,
    Leaving you alone and skinless, a drawing by Vesalius.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    What should concern Massachusetts is not the Nebraska Bill, nor the Fugitive Slave Bill, but her own slaveholding and servility. Let the State dissolve her union with the slaveholder.... Let each inhabitant of the State dissolve his union with her, as long as she delays to do her duty.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
