Famous quotes containing the words dual and/or group:

    “Thee for my recitative,
    Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
    declining,
    Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
    convulsive,
    Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
