Famous quotes containing the words national, queer, youth and/or conference:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nations history.”
—Walter Lippmann (18891974)
“Its a queer sensation, this secret belief that one stands on the brink of the worlds greatest catastrophe. For it means the fall of Western Europe, as it fell in the fourth century. It recurs to me every November, and culminates every December. I have to get over it as I can, and hide, for fear of being sent to an asylum.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you.... Its very selfish, but its understandable.”
—Mick Jagger (b. 1942)
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (15611626)
