Famous quotes containing the words leading and/or edges:
“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
“People stay
Next to the edges of fields, hoping that out of nothing
Something will come, and it does, but what?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
