Van Meir

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or meir:

    It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.
    —Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)

    How can I explain the difference to me between America and Russia?... the America I’ve known is a place where men on horseback escort union marchers, the Russia I’ve known is a place where men on horseback slaughter young Socialists and Jews.
    —Golda Meir (1898–1978)
