Common Ancestor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or ancestor:

    some strange comfort every state attend,
    And pride bestowed on all, a common friend;

    I cannot yet begin to understand
    Why we are proud that an ancestor knew
    The crazy Poe, who was not of our kind

    In vapors not quite wholesome for the mind.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
