Famous quotes containing the word hayden:

    “10 April 1800—

    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.

    You can’t talk about a kind of democracy unless those who are affected by decisions make those decisions whether the institutions in question be the welfare department, the university, the factory, the farm, the neighborhood, the country.
    —Casey Hayden (b. c. 1940)

    Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
