Paper Sons

Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or sons:

    It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh, God will save her, fear you not:
    Be you the men you’ve been,
    Get you the sons your fathers got,
    And God will save the Queen.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
