United Seventh

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or seventh:

    It was evident that, both on account of the feudal system and the aristocratic government, a private man was not worth so much in Canada as in the United States; and, if your wealth in any measure consists in manliness, in originality and independence, you had better stay here. How could a peaceable, freethinking man live neighbor to the Forty-ninth Regiment? A New-Englander would naturally be a bad citizen, probably a rebel, there,—certainly if he were already a rebel at home.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When he bit
    that bud of her lower lip,
    she started,
    shook a finger,
    arched her brow,
    and hissed,
    “Leave me alone, you fool,”
    her eyes narrowing into slits.
    Whoever kisses
    such a haughty woman
    wins the drink of immortality.
    Those idiot gods
    churned the ocean
    for nothing.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
