States Lose

Famous quotes containing the words states and/or lose:

    The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Were she to lose her love, because she had lost
    Her confidence in mine, or even lose
    Its first simplicity, love, voice and all,
    All my fine feathers would be plucked away
    And I left shivering.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
