Surrender Monkeys

Famous quotes containing the words surrender and/or monkeys:

    Peace is normally a great good, and normally it coincides with righteousness, but it is righteousness and not peace which should bind the conscience of a nation as it should bind the conscience of an individual; and neither a nation nor an individual can surrender conscience to another’s keeping.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    The monkeys winked too much and were afraid of snakes. The zebras,
    supreme in their abnormality; the elephants with their fog-colored skin
    and strictly practical appendages
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
