Veterans Oasis Park

Famous quotes containing the words veterans, oasis and/or park:

    “[Veterans] feel disappointed, not about the 1914-1918 war but about this war. They liked that war, it was a nice war, a real war a regular war, a commenced war and an ended war. It was a war, and veterans like a war to be a war. They do.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Je célébrai mon jour de fête
    Dans une oasis d’Afrique
    Vêtu d’une peau de girafe.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “and the words never said,
    And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
    We sat in the car park till twenty to one
    And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
