Famous quotes containing the words national, world and/or final:

    ... the Wall became a magnet for citizens of every generation, class, race, and relationship to the war perhaps because it is the only great public monument that allows the anesthetized holes in the heart to fill with a truly national grief.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Only in books the flat and final happens,
    Only in dreams we meet and interlock....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
