Famous quotes containing the words national and/or local:
“Just so before we’re international,
We’re national and act as nationals.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
