Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love which was more than love --
I and my Annabel Lee.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
