Dutch General Election

Famous quotes containing the words dutch, general and/or election:

    Paradise endangered: garden snakes and mice are appearing in the shadowy corners of Dutch Old Master paintings.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    At that,
    his small size,
    keen eyes,
    serviceable beak
    and general truculence
    assure his survival—
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
