Famous quotes containing the word september:

    “On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
