Famous quotes containing the words national and/or holiday:

    “The national anthem belongs to the eighteenth century. In it you find us ordering God about to do our political dirty work.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I can’t stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain’t music, it’s close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music.”
    —Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
