Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or north:
“Child,
why do you waste your time
on childish things alone?
Clothe yourself in anger.
Take courage,
and cast off this honesty
toward your lover.
When her girlfriends
gave her such advice,
she answered,
her face frightened,
Speak softly.
The lord of my breath
is still in my heart.
No doubt hell hear you.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionallyas well as providing infinitely more vivid viewingif the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
