Famous quotes containing the word dos:

    It was so long since I’d seen masses of young men that I’d forgotten how much pleasanter men of between twenty and thirty were to be around with than older men. It isnt so true of women. When I was in my twenties I thought the grown adults I ran into were a disaster and now I know I was right.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    The creation of a world view is the work of a generation rather than of an individual, but we each of us, for better or for worse, add our brick to the edifice.
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Display advertising and the movies, though they may dull the wits, certainly stimulate the eyes.
