Famous quotes containing the words core and/or members:
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winters cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“A family with the wrong members in controlthat, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
—George Orwell (19031950)
