Famous quotes containing the words events, mississippi, burning and/or case:

    On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Where is the Mississippi panorama
    And the girl who played the piano?
    Where are you, Walt?
    The Open Road goes to the used-car lot.
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

    Death is the mother of beauty, mystical,
    Within whose burning bosom we devise
    Our earthly mothers waiting, sleeplessly.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed—that is the meaning of evolution.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)
