Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or birth:

    “As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “O take fast hold; let that light be thy guide
    In this small course which birth draws out to death,”
