Famous quotes containing the words july, october and/or clemenceau:

    Children are as destined biologically to break away as we are, emotionally, to hold on and protect. But thinking independently comes of acting independently. It begins with a two-year-old doggedly pulling on flannel pajamas during a July heat wave and with parents accepting that the impulse is a good one. When we let go of these small tasks without anger or sorrow but with pleasure and pride we give each act of independence our blessing.
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    Especially when the October wind
    With frosty fingers punishes my hair,
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.
    —Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
