Famous quotes containing the words stock and/or history:

“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
