Famous quotes containing the words national, scenic and/or area:

    I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    Hence from scenic bacchanal,
    Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
    Smallness that you had to spend,
    Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
    Of your overseas disease
    Rot and rout you by degrees.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
