North American Electric

Famous quotes containing the words north, american and/or electric:

    “Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West,
    From North and from South, come the pilgrim and guest,
    When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board
    The old broken links of affection restored,
    When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
    And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
    What moistens the lip and what brightens the eye?
    What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin pie?”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “Wit. The salt with which the American humorist spoils his intellectual cookery by leaving it out.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “The widest prairies have electric fences....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
