Famous quotes containing the words communication with, song and/or china:

    We ought to celebrate this hour by expressions of manly joy. Not thanks, not prayer seem quite the highest or truest name for our communication with the infinite,—but glad and conspiring reception,—reception that becomes giving in its turn, as the receiver is only the All-Giver in part and infancy.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    you see, we live in a cold climate
    and are not permitted to kiss on the street
    so I made up a song that wasn’t true.
    I made up a song called Marriage.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
