Famous quotes containing the words north and/or rebels:
“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)
“Kings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
