Canada Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words canada and/or defeated:

“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The poet is he who fights on the passionate
Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
