Famous quotes containing the words main, rivers and/or south:
“The aphorism wants to be at the same time both main line and off beat.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“As for evildoers, for them awaits a painful chastisement;
but for those who believe, and do deeds
of righteousness, they shall be admitted
to gardens underneath which rivers flow,
therein dwelling forever,
by the leave of their Lord, their greeting
therein: “Peace!””
—Qur’An. Abraham 14:28 (ed. Arthur J. Arberry, 1955)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
