Famous quotes containing the word country:
“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.... There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“But country folks who live beneath
The shadow and the steeple;
The parson and the parson’s wife,
And mostly married people;”
—Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)
