Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or government:
“The dead level of provincial existence.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
