Famous quotes containing the words david and/or anderson:

    Just so hollow and ineffectual, for the most part, is our ordinary conversation. Surface meets surface. When our life ceases to be inward and private, conversation degenerates into mere gossip.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I don’t want to shoot any Englishmen. I never saw one ‘til I came up here. But I suppose most of them never saw a German ‘til they came up here.
    —Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
