Famous quotes containing the words local and/or precedence:

    “America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    “Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
