Star Spangled War

Famous quotes containing the words star, spangled and/or war:

    The star is the ultimate American verification of Jean Jacques Rousseau’s Emile. His mere existence proves the perfectability of any man or woman. Oh wonderful pliability of human nature, in a society where anyone can become a celebrity! And where any celebrity ... may become a star!
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    The constellated sounds
    ran sprinkling on earth’s floor
    As the dark vault above
    with stars was spangled o’er.
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
