Famous quotes containing the words big and/or walker:
“And everybody to the saddest
Laughed the loud laugh the big laugh at the little.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality; and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color; the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
