Famous quotes containing the words banks and/or authorities:

    “Ye banks and braes o’ bonnie Doon,
    How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
    Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
    That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
    Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
    Departed never to return.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
