Famous quotes containing the words anonymous, william and/or wilson:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds.

—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Utopia’s quite another land;
In her enterprising movements,
