Famous quotes containing the words headed and/or eagle:
“Were headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle youd pick, men who could talk, men whod read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, its been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning.”
—Johan Huizinga (18721945)
