Southern Nash

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or nash:

    I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I don’t mind their having a lot of money, and I don’t care how they employ it,
    But I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
