Famous quotes containing the words north, east and/or england:
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Everybody ought to have a lower East Side in their life.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“It is a ridiculous demand which England and America make, that you shall speak so that they can understand you. Neither men nor toadstools grow so.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
