Famous quotes containing the words future and/or grant:
“The future of America may or may not bring forth a black President, a woman President, a Jewish President, but it most certainly always will have a suburban President. A President whose senses have been defined by the suburbs, where lakes and public baths mutate into back yards and freeways, where walking means driving, where talking means telephoning, where watching means TV, and where living means real, imitation life.”
—Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)
“Tell me what brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
