Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or county:

    “What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In the county there are thirty-seven churches
    and no butcher shop. This could be taken
    as a matter of all form and no content.”
    —Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
