Famous quotes containing the words rejecting and/or doctrine:
“Civilization is merely an advance in taste: accepting, all the time, nicer things, and rejecting nasty ones.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.... There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
