Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or country:
“Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
—Ernest Renan (18231892)
“Lars Jorgensen: Its this country killed my boy. Yes, by golly, I tell you Ethan
Mrs. Jorgensen: Now Lars. It just so happens we be Texicans. A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb, this year, and next, maybe for a hundred more. But I dont think itll be forever. Someday this countrys going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
