Famous quotes containing the words national and/or park:
“The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers.

—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.

back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
