Famous quotes containing the words national and/or flags:

    I submit all my plays to the National Theatre for rejection. To assure myself I am seeing clearly.
    Howard Barker (b. 1946)

    No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.
    Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
