Famous quotes containing the words national, park and/or authority:

“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”

“The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizens’ skin.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
