Famous quotes containing the words john and/or bury:
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
““Now bury your bird,” the wind it bawled,
“And bury him down and down
Who had to put his trust in one
So light-eyed and so brown....””
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
