Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
