Famous quotes containing the words jesse and/or douglas:

    Great things happen in small places. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesse Jackson was born in Greenville.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    How can I live among this gentle
    absolescent breed of heroes, and not weep?
    Unicorns, almost,
    for they are falling into two legends
    in which their stupidity and chivalry
    are celebrated. Each, fool and herb, will be an immortal.
    —Keith Douglas (1920–1944)
