Lost Nation

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or nation:

“This man is quickened so with grief.
He wanders god-like or like thief
Inside and out, below, above,
Without relief seeking lost love.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)

“The so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nation’s pulse, you can’t be sure that the nation hasn’t just run up a flight of stairs.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
