Famous quotes containing the word north:

    “The battle of the North Atlantic is a grim business, and it isn’t going to be won by charm and personality.”
    —Edmund H. North, British screenwriter, and Lewis Gilbert. First Sea Lord (Laurence Naismith)

    “The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes
    And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise,
    And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room,
    And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom,
    And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
