Stagger Lee

Famous quotes containing the words stagger and/or lee:

“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)

“O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!”
