Famous quotes containing the word china:

    “In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
    —Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    “The roof of England fell
    Great Paris tolled her bell
    And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
