Modern Flag

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or flag:

“There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime—namely, repressive justice.”

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.

Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
