Original Bear Flag

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

    Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

    I saw a staring virgin stand
    Where holy Dionysus died,
    And tear the heart out of his side,
    And lay the heart upon her hand
    And bear that beating heart away;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black and white—and we’re all precious in God’s sight.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
