Famous quotes containing the words chattanooga, national and/or cemetery:
“Pardon me boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo-choo?
Track twenty nine,
Boy you can give me a shine.”
—Mack Gordon (1904–1959)
“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“I am a cemetery abhorred by the moon.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
