Home State

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or state:

“Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.”
