Lost Nation

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or nation:

    Part way back from Bedlam
    I came to my mother’s house in Gloucester,
    Massachusetts. And this is how I came
    to catch at her; and this is how I lost her.
    I cannot forgive your suicide, my mother said.
    And she never could.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
