Famous quotes containing the words coca-cola and/or dome:
“The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger- print of reality upon the beautiful.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“But in the dome of mighty Mars the red,”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
