Dashed Lines

Famous quotes containing the words dashed and/or lines:

    The river, right, tumbled into a cove;
    But the map dashed the road along the stream
    And we dotted man’s fishiest enthymeme
    With jellied feet upon understanding love
    Of what eyes see not, that nourishes the will:
    We were fishers, weren’t we?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
