Famous quotes containing the words coast, garrison and/or force:
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
“Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
