Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or campaign:
“February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.”
—Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
