Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    How we dwelt in two worlds
    the daughters and the mothers
    in the kingdom of the sons.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
