Famous quotes containing the words national and/or flags:

    “...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    “Still, it is dear defiance now to carry
    Fair flags of you above my indignation,”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
