Famous quotes containing the word national:

    “Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
    —Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
