Famous quotes containing the words trap, national and/or park:
“We are not very much to blame for our bad marriages. We live amid hallucinations; and this especial trap is laid to trip our feet with, and all are tripped up first and last.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.”

“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now Im engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
