Famous quotes containing the words unseen and/or america:
“An unconscious consciousness is no more a contradiction in terms than an unseen case of seeing.”
—Franz Clemens Brentano (1838–1917)
“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
