Famous quotes containing the words petitioning the, petitioning, empty and/or sky:
“Some are petitioning the State to dissolve the Union, to disregard the requisitions of the President. Why do they not dissolve it themselves,—the union between themselves and the State,—and refuse to pay their quota into its treasury? Do not they stand in the same relation to the State that the State does to the Union? And have not the same reasons prevented the State from resisting the Union which have prevented them from resisting the State?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

mountain lion.
And I think in the world beyond, how easily we might spare a million
or two of humans
And never miss them.”

like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
listen to it growling.”
