Famous quotes containing the word north:

“We should declare war on North Vietnam.... We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.”

—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
