Left Ideals

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ideals:

    Nearing again the legendary isle
    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Our chaotic economic situation has convinced so many of our young people that there is no room for them. They become uncertain and restless and morbid; they grab at false promises, embrace false gods and judge things by treacherous values. Their insecurity makes them believe that tomorrow doesn’t matter and the ineffectualness of their lives makes them deny the ideals which we of an older generation acknowledged.
    Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
