Shared Country

Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or country:

    “When young people are too rigidly sequestered from [the world], their lively and romantic imaginations paint it to them as a paradise of which they have been beguiled; but when they are shown it properly, and in due time, they see it such as it really is, equally shared by pain and pleasure, hope and disappointment.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Think of what our Nation stands for,
    Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
    Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
    Democracy and proper drains.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
