Famous quotes containing the words farm and/or system:
“I farm a pasture where the boulders lie
As touching as a basketful of eggs....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
