Narre Warren North

Famous quotes containing the words warren and/or north:

    But it thought no bed too narrow—it stood with lips askew
    And shook its great head sadly like the abstract Jew.
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    I felt that he, a prisoner in the midst of his enemies and under the sentence of death, if consulted as to his next step or resource, could answer more wisely than all his countrymen beside. He best understood his position; he contemplated it most calmly. Comparatively, all other men, North and South, were beside themselves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
