National Place

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or place:

“The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner’s visit to Congress—these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

“Over, over, there is a soft place in my heart for all that is over, no, for the being over, words have been my only loves, not many.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
