Standard Green

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or green:

“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)

“a shiver, a delight
that what is passing
is here, as if
a snake went by, green in the
gray leaves.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
