Famous quotes containing the words yukon, progressive, conservative and/or party:
“Los Angeles is a Yukon for crime-story writers.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“A radical is one of whom people say “He goes too far.” A conservative, on the other hand, is one who “doesn’t go far enough.” Then there is the reactionary, “one who doesn’t go at all.” All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term “progressive.” I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselves—one who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I never dared to be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
