The Main Straight

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or straight:

    Of all wit’s uses, the main one
    Is to live well with who has none.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Americans see history as a straight line and themselves standing at the cutting edge of it as representatives for all mankind. They believe in the future as if it were a religion; they believe that there is nothing they cannot accomplish, that solutions wait somewhere for all problems, like brides.
    Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
