Original Bear Flag

Famous quotes containing the words original, bear and/or flag:

    A masterpiece of fiction is an original world and as such is not likely to fit the world of the reader.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    I could bear to suffer ... so many have suffered. But why must it be like this? I have not deserved it. I have been true in friendship; I have faithfully nursed others in sickness.... Why must I die like this, alone with my mortal enemy?
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
