Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or flag:
“America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside....”

“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
