Famous quotes containing the words lovely and/or war:

    It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.”
    Calvin Trillin (20th century)

    This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
