Lincoln Installed

Famous quotes containing the words lincoln and/or installed:

    I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves it should be first those who desire it for themselves, and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever [I] hear anyone, arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise—nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.
    Marilyn Hacker (b. 1942)
