Famous quotes containing the word country:

    “So is the English Parliament provincial. Mere country bumpkins, they betray themselves, when any more important question arises for them to settle, the Irish question, for instance,—the English question why did I not say? Their natures are subdued to what they work in. Their “good breeding” respects only secondary objects.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What shall we do with country quiet now?
    A motor drones insanely in the blue
    Like a bad bird in a dream.”
    —Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
