Long Dream

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or dream:

    I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Oh well,
    it doesn’t belong to me,
    if a cigar can be a cigar
    then a dream can be a dream.
    Right?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
