Famous quotes containing the words america and/or beautiful:
“In America a woman loses her independence for ever in the bonds of matrimony. While there is less constraint on girls there than anywhere else, a wife submits to stricter obligations.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“With the narcotic milk of peace for men
Who find Thy beautiful center ...”
