Famous quotes containing the words countries and/or adopt:

    “Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    “It has been proposed that the town should adopt for its coat of arms a field verdant, with the Concord circling nine times round.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
