Famous quotes containing the words table, world, heritage and/or country:

    Will you greet your doom
    As final; set him loaves and wine; knowing
    The game is finished when he plays his ace,
    And overturn the table and go into the next room?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The bourgeois stands like a question mark,
    Speechless, like the hungry cur,
    The ancient world stands there behind him,
    A mongrel dog, afraid to stir.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.
    Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

    In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
