Star Wars Republic

Famous quotes containing the words star, wars and/or republic:

    Between us two it’s not a star at all.
    It’s a new patented electric light,
    Put up on trial by that Jerseyite
    So much is being now expected of....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
