Famous quotes containing the words des and/or militants:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didnt come from anywhere else in Iowa.

—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“Ive always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.”
