Famous quotes containing the words east and/or prince:
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Daddy?

but my father

circling the abyss like a shark....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
