Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine ... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love which was more than love --
I and my Annabel Lee.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
